The LOLakers really are planning on providing this place with lulz for years to come, tbh.
Thank you based Contract.
Is Scott the worst active coach in the league?
Byron Scott discussed the high rate of three-point shot attempts taken by NBA teams and admitted he is not a believer in the system.
“You’ve got a lot of teams that just live and die by it,” Scott said Friday. “Teams, general managers, coaches, they kind of draft that way to try to space the floor as much as possible. But you have to have shooters like that; you also have to have guys that can penetrate and get to the basket, because that opens up the floor.”
When asked whether he buys into the style, Scott said: “I don’t believe it wins championships. (It) gets you to the playoffs.”
Popvich's take on this?
"I hate it," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said.
No, he wasn't kidding when he said that in June. Popovich detests the 3-pointer, but in this NBA, it's a prerequisite.
"It's changed the game," Popovich said. "It makes it tougher to cover that much room defensively on the court, so you do have to pay attention to it defensively. It's a heck of a weapon. ... To me it's not basketball but you've got to use it. If you don't, you're in big trouble."The Spurs led the league in 3-point accuracy last year, making more shots from deep than ever before.
In the playoffs, their percentages got even better, and in the NBA Finals against the Heat they shot a wildly good 47 percent from 3-land.
What the heck man
Fouling hard
2 hour practices before game time
no 3 pointers
ISO kobe ball
this is actually worst than 48.5 tbh

Lakers are gunna brick 19 footers all season
Only one team averaged less than 15 3 attempts per game last year but they were one of the slowest paced and best defensively
Memphis?
CROFL, the Spurs were the best three point shooting team in the league in winning the 2014 le and Miami was #2 in winning the 2013 le.
Scott just showing off that fine coaching pedigree.

Everyone...except for Byron, it seems.Just about everyone in the NBA, from scouts to head coaches to GMs, understands that long 2-point shots are bad and 3s are good. There is a strong correlation between 3-point attempts and team scoring efficiency, and an even more specific correlation between the number of short corner 3s a team attempts and its overall points per possession.
The debate on this stuff is over. Math has won, though team-by-team personnel obviously still plays a huge role in a team’s shot-selection profile.
Have fun, Laker fans.
Doesnt really matter much. The lakers are not going to be anything close to a contender this season even with the best three point shooting in league history.
What Scott has going for him is that the team is so ty, tbh... basically it's going to be easy for him to deflect to the fact that the team generally sucks...
The Lakers are going to focus on getting Kobe face time, breaking Jordan's scoring record and the all star game of which Kobe is a shoo in. This is Kobe's epitaph, let's see how he writes it.
Dallas 2011 - Dirk, Terry, Kidd, Stojakovic, Stevenson
Miami 2012/2013 - Allen, Miller, Jones, Battier, Chalmers
San Antonio 2014 - Ginobili, Green, Mills, Belinelli, Diaw, Bonner
The last championship team that wasn't built around an interior attack surrounded by good shooters was the 2010 Lakers...and even then, Kobe needed a bailout three from Artest to prevent coughing up another one to the Celts.
Are Lakers having fun yet?
Who on the Lakers is alive to be a decent three point threat anyways?
And they're a special case considering the post-guys they have. Memphis was a 3 point shooter (or two) away from beating the OK Thunder last year. Or some even officiating.
LOL RELOAD NO REBUILD
Scott wants everyone to go at the basket then kick the ball out to Kobe....They were in the last 5 in the league
last year in 3pt shots made......
Scott thinks it's still like during his playing days, when it was midrange oriented
For the Lakers to win they must shoot long twos 95 percent of the game, no layups or 3pt as that is inefficient.
Scott trying to bump up Kirby's shooting %, thinking higher percentage jumpers will work
Kitby still coaching that team
That's cause the triangle creates enough issues for the defense, regardless of whether or not you have elite shooting
Trees for Threes
Hey Lakers fans! Each time the Lakers score a three-pointer during a home game until March 19th, East West Bank will fund the planting of a tree in the Los Angeles Community.

No one gives a what any of "fans" think anyway. You need a balanced attack and the fact that TD is no longer the player he used to be, the spurs had to adapt (Pop's best strength as a coach). When your best inside post presence is your 3-4th option, you need to adapt the attack.
