    Pretty much true. I'd probably favor McGee over everyone else to make a clutch free throw. Lebron, Kuz, Lonzo, Rondo, Hart, Ingram, KCP? No.

    ^actually this is a MAJOR issue. We almost always suffer in crunch time. It has cost us at least 2 games this season.

    It shouldn't be too hard to have a good FT shooter with 15 NBA players on the roster...but amazingly, the Lakers have managed to sign 15 guys who can't shoot FTs without their knees shaking.

    With all the focus bad defense and lack of half court offense, FT shooting need to be addressed. Clearly an improvement at the line could have changed all these close games. It's probably the most correctable problem this squad has. The other issues require team practice and time together to correct.

    How about Luke makes LeBron run laps at practice next day for missed FTs?

    To make an example since he makes the most money?

    Luke doesn’t yet have the cloud to alienate his best player and get away with it

    It's not likely Mark Jackson ever coaches again in the NBA. His strong Christian views and his rift with the Warriors gay executive put a dent in his career.

    And if Lebron is the anti-Christ, he won’t want Mark Jackson running the show.

    I'd say his religious views mesh well with Magic and Rob.

    This play and the one that he allowed Iman to get behind his (back door) weren't great.



    On the good side its nice that he's starting to hit the 3 ball again.

    Lazy. Old. Talented. High Maintenance. Valuable.

    No shortage of adjectives to describe him.
