His explanation wasn’t even the right one
If he talked about defense then I could say yeah sure. Okay makes sense. Might not be the right personnel on the other team for him to function.
But he said, the Lakers are 7-0 when DLo scored 17+. They need to have a short leash.
Wouldn’t that entail they need to get him more involved. Because if they are 7-0 with 17+ and 1-6 when he’s less than 17. Then clearly getting him in a scoring role is important.
A steady amount of P&R’s would be good.
Whether it’s DLo or AR with either Bron or AD setting the picks.
AD you want downhill toward the hoop. Bron catching it at the free throw line and making a quick pass to a cutter when he gets the defense to collapse or the open guy off the double.
Many points being left by not running P&Rs more often. The Nuggets personnel isn’t amazing on defense. Lakers aren’t taking it to them. And the Nuggets are to us.
