STEPHEN HAS NEVER PLAYED BASKETBALL FOR HIS HIGH SCHOOL OR COLLEGE . THIS SCRUB IS TALKING ABOUT AN NBA HE NEVER PLAYED IN
HE IS TALKING TO 2 RETIRED FOOTBALL PLAYERS AND A LADY WHO NEVER PLAYED IN THE NBA
ESPN IS TRULY DISRESPECTING THE NBA BRAND!!!!

IF THERE WAS ANYONE ON THIS SET WITH ANY ” BASKETBALL INTELLIGENCE THEY WOULD KNEO AND SAY THAT THE LAKERS PROBLEM IS THAT THEY ARE A TERRIBLE DEFENSIVE TEAM PRIMARULY BECAUSE AUSTIN REAVES AND LUKA DONCIC CANNOT GUARD THEIR POSING ADEQUATELY AND LEBRON JAMES IS 41 YEARS OLD AND NOT WILLING TO PUT FORTH THE ENERGY TONOLAY DEFENSE CONSISTENTLY EVERY NIGHT ON EVERY POSSESSION. THE LAKERS DO NOT HAVE A PROBLEM SCORING POINTS THEY HAVE A BIG PROBLEM STOPPING THE OTHER TEAM FROM SCORING. STEPHEN A SMITH PROBABLY DOES NOT KNOW THAT BECAUSE HE PLAYS SOLITAIRE DURING THE NBA FINALS

1.DEMAR DEROZAN -37 PTS
2.RUSSELL WESTBROOK -22 PTS
3.ZACH LAVINE- 19 PTS
4.MALIK MONK- 26 PTS
PLEASE FORGIVE STEPHEN A SMITH. HE AINT TO BRIGHT HE THINKS THE LAKERS BIGGEST PROBLEM IS 3 PT SHOOTING WHEN IT REALLY IS DEFENSE. STEPHEN A SMITH ON E SAID HE HAD ” UNDIAGNOSED DYSLEXIA ” AS A CHILD. DOES ANYONE KNOW IF ” MENTAL DYSLEXIA ” IS A CONDITION?

It’s easy lol … stop shooting fkn 3s … shoot the 2s it adds up more than missed 3s because there 2s% is great !!!
It’s simple numbers if you go back and look at their loss games, the 2s% is better versus the 3s%. Shoot more 2s and percentage wise they win more games if you look at the amount of points lost by the team that beat them. Simple numbers !!! ❤

You can blame a lot of people but in situations like this, when it’s the overall performance and not down to 1 person and 1 area, the blame lies on the coach. He can’t coach, he can’t lead, he can’t convince. And when he finds excuses, no one needs to feel sorry for him and defend him.

You aren’t the warriors teams have got to stop defining themselves by 3-pointers. You can go in for a off the backboard layup when you need a point. That’s what anyone who wants to win would do
