BREAKING:We Don’t Have Luxury Of Being That Team… LeBron James SLAMS Rival Coaches Complaining About Lakers Shooting Free Throws
The Los Angeles Lakers’ star player, LeBron James, offered his thoughts on the team’s Sunday loss to the Phoenix Suns. He talked about the story that has been going around about their play and how often they go to the free-throw line.
James’ remark is valid considering that the Lakers have played 59 games this season and presently have the lowest 3-point attempts per game (30.8) in the NBA. Using players that are adept at attacking the basket, such LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Austin Reaves, and others, Los Angeles regularly drives to the rim.
In fact, this season, the Suns have more free-throw attempts per game than the Lakers have. With 25.2 attempts per game, they rank fourth in the NBA, while the Lakers are in sixth place with 24.3 attempts. It’s clear that James was not happy with the lack of calls in Los Angeles’ favor during Sunday’s loss. The Lakers are in a difficult position as they finish the season with a 31-28 record, good for the No. 10 seed in the Western Conference.
The Lakers must continue to play their brand of basketball even though they didn’t get to the free-throw line as often as normal in this game. considering that, in comparison to other teams, they rely less on the 3-point shooting. LeBron James and the Lakers will get some time off to recuperate and get ready for their upcoming games against the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday night and the Washington Wizards on Thursday.
