Freethrows loom large.

Did we win?
Weak switch by Lebron
Bron switched too quickly and didn't help fast enough.Freethrows loom large.
And why is Caruso on Harris?
I'd take my chances and give a cold Curry hits a pull up three than give Harris a mismatch with his feet set.They shoulda played that switch differently
I get not wanting to leave curry open but the one guy you don’t want to take that shot ended up taking the shot lol
Says a lot about AC tho and how much Bron trusted him on thatI'd take my chances and give a cold Curry hits a pull up three than give Harris a mismatch with his feet set.

He played that pretty well too just too small
We have yet to see this team play really clicking on all cylinders for an entire gameYeah...but Bron can't switch that.
But if this was the finals, he wouldn't have switched it so...like I said. Great comeback, but take the L and move on.
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, L.A. Lakers
One of the few “bubble stars” whose play has carried over to the new season, KCP was the Lakers’ third-best player in the Finals and has kept that up through the first quarter of this season.
In particular, his shooting has gone to another level. These are outliers from his career numbers, but they’re not hugely surprising either. One of the big mysteries of his career to date has been why he couldn’t produce more than just mid-30s blahness from the perimeter.
Perhaps this is just him belatedly turning the corner at age 27. Caldwell-Pope is shooting a sizzling 50.0 percent from 3 while pushing to join the extremely rare 50-50-90 club: he’s at 52.0 percent from the field overall and 88.9 percent from the line. Sum it all up, and his true shooting percentage is an absurd 70.3.
Also notable is that KCP is letting it rip with much more abandon, pulling the trigger 9.0 times per 100 possessions after being a bit gun-shy (6.4) in the regular season a year ago. Again, that’s carry-over from the 2020 playoffs, when he let it fly 9.7 times per 100.
Throw in his usual solid job at the defensive end, and he’s delivering plus value as a 3-and-D specialist on a contract that, like Hayward’s and Grant’s above, looked a bit rich in the offseason. Moreover, KCP is another plus-minus All-Star, with the Lakers winning his minutes by 20.8 points per 100 — easily the best rate on the team.
Here's my theory on that...Only took him not being on this team to be able to shoot
sorry *** mofo lol
