An injured Anthony Davis and exhausted LeBron James play right into the Warriors’ hands.
The Lakers started the season as a historically bad shooting team, but we’re not anchored to what we saw in October. No, the Lakers are a brand new team since the trade deadline, adding some legitimately solid pieces to the mix around LeBron and Anthony Davis. Those additions are why the Lakers are in the playoffs and playing the Warriors.The Lakers have played seven postseason games, including one nasty play-in game win.
And while LeBron shooting 19 percent from beyond the arc hurt the average, the Lakers’ others still shoot 33.5 percent from 3. Not exactly an elite clip. The Kings did a great job making those guys work until their shots came up short. Not everyone can be Steph Curry.And it’s more likely that will happen, because the Lakers want to play it slow. The Warriors will get to set the pace in this series.
As great as Kevon Looney has been in the postseason and as brilliant as Draymond Green is as a defender, some big men are unguardable for the Warriors, and Davis — when fully engaged — is one of them.
