Chapter 2: Why should Knicks fans relax after their win over the Hawks?
I'll tell you what, J.J. Redick is going to pound the table for LeBron in the offseason. You can say what you want, but J.J. Redick sees the truth. And the truth is, increasingly, last couple of years, Luka's going to give you 68 games, 72 games, and you cross your fingers on the postseason. And J.J. Redick's a really smart guy, but they have to figure out all this stuff about Luka.
They have got to figure out, in Los Angeles, how to get Luka out. to play 73 games, but to get him off the ball. We've seen it with James Harden. We've seen it with Luka. You can't lead the NBA in usage rate. This is something the late Kobe Bryant talked about all the time. You can't lead the league in usage rate. You got to play off ball. You have to.
That's why guys like Steph Curry, when KD came, Steph liked it. Steph's like, I can play off ball more. Or I can get rid of the ball early in the shot clock and I can get it to KD or I can get it to Klay. The great guard, Steve Nash, I don't have to have the ball all the time. I don't have to be the lead finisher. But Luka with the ball and finishing, it's a joy to watch, but it wears him down.
It beats him up. He's not in great shape. He doesn't give you much on the defensive end. So Luka leads the NBA in usage rate since entering the league. Right? So that's the dilemma the Lakers are in. But J.J. Redick, watching this series, you know he's pounding the table. He's like, who's my guy that's not available? Austin Reeves is coming back. LeBron's here. Rui's here. Aiden's here.
Old Marcus Smart is here. Once again, Luka is not. I'm sorry if the truth hurts here, but this is a reality. Usage rate is a real thing. Can't lead the league by a mile on it and win titles. You just get hurt. If you were in peckable shape like MJ, you could do it occasionally. But Michael wasn't leading usage rate all the time like he did it back in 98. But it's a thing.
