The chapter focuses on the shooting struggles of the Lakers and how it has affected their offensive performance. They analyze Anthony Davis' pick and roll numbers as the screener, discuss LeBron James' pick and roll plays, and question why the Lakers' offense is not performing well. Despite the struggles, they express optimism about the Lakers' process and highlight the importance of having multiple ball handlers and utilizing cutting and weak-side actions to counter defensive focus on Anthony Davis.
