you get two guys on luca and then it just becomes a math game of four on three or three on two and when one or two of those guys are lebron and austin reeves uh that's just like grade school basketball for the lakers so with lebron especially if he is the the guy on like the weak side kind of catching that outlet pass or that that you know swing reversal all of a sudden he can get downhill

He can shoot the three. He's been shooting above 40% on catch and shoot threes this season. Or he could find the open man and it becomes really simple. So I think the way that teams kind of freak out whenever Luka runs a pick and roll, that's become a significant advantage for the Lakers. And really, the shot quality has gone up. The results have not really been there.

And I think they are due for some positive regression offensively, where once they start to actually make these threes at like a league average rate or potentially even higher, just because they're getting so many open ones, you can see this team take a significant step offensively to match the defensive end. So in terms of Luca and JJ, I think they see the game very similarly, like realistically.

Luca is fine playing off the ball. We've seen him screen a little bit more. We've seen him come off pin downs and they've run some off ball actions for him. So I think JJ has made it clear that Luca is the point guard. He is the primary ball handler, as he should be. And I think right now the biggest thing is just the reps that they got to figure that out.

But in terms of how they see the game and just being on the same page, I think really JJ shifted more toward what Luca wants. But what Luca wants is what JJ wanted from the beginning. They just didn't have the personnel.

Yeah. Before we get out of here quickly, what does this team need to improve on before we get to the playoffs?

Interestingly, I think the offensive end defensively since the Dorian Finney Smith trade, they are fourth in the NBA and defensive rating since mid-January when they kind of had a turning point there. They lost three in a row and then they had this big turnaround. They're second in the NBA and defensive rating.
