Ban him from shooting 3s ham. His 3 ball is cooked. My god imagine if he just let reaves shoot half of his attempted 3s
Lebron is not a capable three point shooter. Let’s all be honest, including Lebron. If he just plays to his strengths he would have won us one of these games. Maybe both.
Took Ham all season, but hey, he finally said it. Better late than never.
Highly capable of missing them
Lmao calling him out, but rightly so.
Bron needs to have the same mindset as Jimmy when it comes to shooting 3s
Bron hasent been a highly capable 3 point shooter all season
Thank you coach
his 3 is gone man. lebron should shoot midranges or paint shots only
shooter yes, maker? no
I don’t mind the 3’s when he’s wide open, but he was straight up pulling from 3-4 feet behind the arc. It’s the shot selection that matters.
He most certainly is not a highly capable 3 point shooter. Maybe when healthy and in a good rhythm, neither of which he is at the moment.
lakers entire game is about getting to the rim and drawing fouls but they decided they didnt want to do that tonight for whatever fucking reason
I hope skip bayless destroys lebron tomorrow, there’s just no fucking excuse for this.
​
EDIT: I’m a lebron FAN, and this shit pisses me off. He’s 6’8, 260 go attack the fucking rim, goodness, just replace james with zion williamson.
Well. He has to rest LeBron properly.
Can’t expect LeBron to defend Jokic, play the whole 2nd half and still be attacking the paint at will. Not at this age.
LeBron starts taking 3s in 4th quarters when he’s gassed which he was today. Doesn’t justify his dumb decision making of chucking 3s. But its on the coaching staff to manage his mins and stop him from chucking 3s. Take a TO and regroup.
I’d rather see Bron smoke another lay up then have him take another 3 lmaooo. Bron gotta stay in the paint. And gotta stick to facilitating. Limit Bron to 2 threes a game until he can hit again.
Good only way for Bron to stop shooting 3s is to create a narrative behind it from the media
I’m also highly capable of pissing from the other side of my bathroom, but I don’t. Because that would be dumb. Like LeBron taking 3’s.
He’s not capable at ALL. He’s LITERALLY the worst 4th quarter 3pt shooter in the past 25 post seasons.
He doesn’t have a 3 point shot please stop gassing him to keep shooting them. Don’t be scared and be a coach and tell him if you’re tired and can’t drive the ball in. Get on the block and post up.
I say it every damn game. Our games are won in the paint. Games when we have a high % of shots in the paint – we win. Games when we shoot mindless 3s and long mid range jumpers – we lose. Can someone please point this out to Lakers coaching staff.
Ham can only do so much. He did play D Lo a little bit too much.
Maybe don’t play him 40minutes a game, whilst playing the 5, and guarding jokic all game ???
Ham needs to have a conversation with Bron or this series is done in 5 or 6. Bron needs to pass out in the 4th when he’s gassed and not chuck 3s
lbj jacking up 3’s in the 4th because the Denver air got to him early. Ham needs to better manage minutes in Denver.
If he’s too fuckin tired to drive, give the ball up, that simple. I’d rather him take take 12-14 shots if that’s all his energy gives him
I get he probably wants to get back into the rhythm of it but damn man eventually you gotta focus on something else if it’s not working
#HAM I SWEAR IM STARTING TO LIKE YOU AS A COACH NOW BLINK TWICE IF JEANIE IS THREATENING YOU ABOUT PLAYONG DLO.
Rui and Reaves had were solid tonight. Bron kept shooting 3’s with 15 -20 on the shot clock. Lakers played a SOLID 3 quarters but coming home and we’ll get ours games back. I think the Lakers will embrace the challenge and attack more.
Lebron has always wanted to have a Steph 3 game, but that just isn’t a strength of his and never has. He may have an occasional 75% shooting night, but averages are averages, and LBJ has been ice cold this entire playoffs from three. Also doesn’t help that he can’t drive at will anymore. Age and injuries will do that to you. I wouldn’t be surprised if Bronny beats his Pops in 3 point shooting contests on the regular =x
Two of the most efficient paint scorers in AD and Lebron, and these two settle on threes.
AD was rarely shooting threes last series, why is he starting now. Fml
AKA stoppppp shooting 3’s every time you are gassed
Capable of what 2-8?
Highly capable? Not this year, where the fuck you been Ham
Thank u ham
I don’t care if he shoots open 3’s. If it’s a good shot then take it man. But LeBron’s 3’s have been bad shots, always contested, never in rhythm, it’s always a shot that he’s settling for instead of exerting the energy to get to the paint. Gotta be smarter.
I’d like to see him not shoot any more 3s
That’s a nice way of calling him out 😅
If the Lakers are going to win this thing Bron has to be able to shoot it at a decenr clip. Fire tf away.
Humorous beyond belief. AD is getting screamed at by lebron because hes not setting any screens so lebron cant drive in without risking contact the refs wont call a foul and missing the layup because of said contact. Then you have AD not starting the 4th quarter when Jokic and Murray are out there oh and AR15 is also not starting the 4th quarter. Dlo is shooting 17% from three this series and isnt moving away from the corner 3. Dennis is going to either lose the ball, miss a 3, or throw a deflected pass. If noone is setting screens and the pick and roll goes dead in the 4th quarter which the nuggets struggled to defend, wtf is lebron supposed to do? Pass it to D’lo or Dennis so they can either turn the ball over or D’lo takes a stupid 3? How about Ham shut the fuck up and rotate the players better.
Bang it into his head coach😂
He’s 0-10 from 3 this series
You and me both, Darvin. At this point the only ones who should be taking threes are Reaves and Rui.
Ham wants the team to live in the paint, then proceeds to insert 3-guard lineup
Let’s be real his 3 point shots have been horrible all season long. We just coddle him because he’s Lebron. Westbrook was shooting at higher 3 point clip % this season and he got boo’d out of LA.
Why are we just roasting lebron? Why tf was AD chucking 3s too? He became a spot up 3 pt shooter in the last 2 mins
Too late. He’s gonna try to silence the doubters and shoot even more 3s now. FUCK
