Take the L on what. He took one jumper, was wide open, and missed badly. Missed almost half his ft’s. To be clear, the only reason I’m mentioning any of that is because you wanted to be an a-hole like this proved anything I said wrong, which it didn’t.

By the way, the guys around him were draining 3’s, which is exactly the kind of situation I said makes the most sense for a guy like him. He wasn’t out there with 4 guys who are not really threats from 3 like Jrue, Lonzo, Ingram, and Zion.

Teams follow Jrue out to the 3 point line anyway because he’s so good at attacking from the perimeter. I haven’t watched enough of Ingram to know if this is true for him, but with his scoring ability I suspect the same can be true for him too. Remember how AD was often doubled when he didn’t even have the ball? That’s going to be Zion.

There’s your space.

I don’t know where this myth started that you have to shoot 3s well to create space, but that’s not the only way to do it.

He was clearly amped early and finished 6 of his last 8 on FTs. He hit a circus jumper, he clearly needs some work and I don't think anyone disputes that.

He's not going to be out there in lineups with all of those 4. He's gonna get minutes off the bench and develop.

And the AD stuff was mostly jokes
