    12-15 shots per game

    Put more effort on defense

    Cut to the basket more

    Let Reaves/Luka handle more of the ball-handling duties

    If he can do that, it unlocks a new potential for this team.

    It's a shame his 3P shot isn't falling because if he could knock down wide open threes, he'd be a huge threat.

    Lakers suffer when LeBron holds onto the ball because it just makes having Luka/Reaves pointless. Those two at this point of their career can get to their shot quicker and better than LeBron can. He should be able to get 10 points just off cutting and fastbreak every game. LeBron's still played like AD was on the team so that was a big problem.

    I can’t believe that everything before the last couple of games has to be disregarded.
    X is so lame- mostly for prisoner of the moment takes like this, every single day.
    He is actually starting to fit in, unlike the majority of the season.
    I deal in Truth, not fantasy.

    Meh. He's also been ripped and wished to be gone from many all season way more than deserved, considering having no camp and missing so much at the start and needing to get up to speed. Then games when one of Luka or AR out and he organically in the game needs to spend time on ball at times or while the other creator sits. A lot of mind reading and projecting as well. Opinions .... we all got em.
