Outside of the first point these don’t make any sense.
Why do remove Harden and Gordon from the three point shooting numbers?
How is 29% (below their season average) not a bad shooting night from three?
Are we seriously talking about a single 10-0 run is indicative of how a series will play out?
AD played ok but wasn’t anywhere near as aggressive as he could’ve been, he could’ve shot more and he wasn’t great on the weakside nor at containing dribble penetration.
So let’s go over these real quick, outside of the point about Houston playing the best defense in the bubble we have what? A cherry picked statistic with an implication that some how there will be a positive regression to the mean. A bad take on the Lakers shooting woes (I mean who doesn’t call sub 30% a bad shooting performance). A single run of 4-5 baskets and the idea that you think it’ll be hard for AD to play better than he did which seems wild because I thought his defense was terrible.
The Lakers have a lot to be concerned about, who’s gonna slow down penetration? How will they protect the rim without playing McGee/Howard big min? How do they stop Vogel from playing Rondo 20+ mins/game? That said I don’t think almost anything you brought up is pertinent to that outside of the first one.
