. @donny_mchenry here. Going to do a quick video THREAD of the defensive breakdowns that LeBron was referencing in this quote. First clip is the play that lead to Carmelo's spot-up three late https://twitter.com/hmfaigen/status/1295941176084709376
In this one, a somewhat hesitant and slow rotation by AD results in a wide-open Gary Trent Jr three. You can see Phil Handy get angry with the play
Last one is pretty simple. With Whiteside up so far on the pick, AD has to get up more on Dame who continues to show that he can make these deep threes efficiently
Check out the article where we discuss this, as well as Danny Green's comments on mistakes the Lakers made late as well as the team's poor shooting https://lakersoutsiders.com/2020/08/19/danny-green-lakers-execute-threes-lakers-blazers/
