Wasn't Phil Handy there when Dion and Kyrie were playing together? Life before Bron came back. So they prob have good rapport.

They only played 28 games together. A younger, better version of Dion Waiters, mind you.

Went to bed early again and missed the game.
Vogel preaching defense has been money!
Thankful for rotations and in game adjustments.

Lost in last night's contest was how great KCP played despite only having 4 points in the box score.

The role players always look better when you win.
For example, Avery Bradley played some great D, but had the Lakers lost, you can bet that his 0-5 from the field and 0-3 from behind the 3 point line would get pointed out.

Nothing spectacular, just plain solid.
Very Disciplined on Defense. Help rotations were on point, so was his on ball D and getting in lanes.
He was playing vital minutes all throughout that 4th quarter.
He made all the right passes and took the right shots on offense, within the flow of their offense.
Made little to no mistakes.
KCP and Caruso at the guard spots off that bench is very very solid because they both smart players.

How Vogel manages playing time for AB, KCP and Waiters will be interesting
I wish Rondo was the odd man out since he can’t shoot worth a damn but we know he’ll get big minutes in the playoffs

So we all know that we scramble a lot on defense. KCP would play the passing lanes during those scrambles and got so turnovers and deflections. KCP was solid. All the role players (not Rondo) were solid.

I hope the Lakers don't cut Quinn Cook in order to sign JR Smith

Exactly. Perception changes greatly between a one-point win in a one-point loss.

This is the mentality AD needs to have all the time. The only thing stopping him from being Giannis-level this is own passiveness. He needs to play like he did against the Sixers and how we played in the fourth quarter of this game all the time.

Man. I remember when KCP started out so trash. Wanted him gone. Boy was I wrong.

I bet against Bron in game 7 against the pacers 2018. The Cavs had looked washed all season and especially in that series they were extra cheeks. This dude went berzerk and dismantled Indy with his bare hands on the road. After that I learned my lesson. When you watch the game in a sportsbook and all them bronsexuals are going nuts while you sit there with lost money because you underestimated him, it hits different 
. We have LeBron James and Anthony Davis. I'm not betting against that

Has to be signed off by LeBron and AD. They are really close.

Just watching the highlights of yesterdays game & the difference was so clear, We finally showed the physicality we need. Every screen from AD/Dwight/Javale was strong, Dwight/Javale with the duck ins & clear outs on the boards.
Banging with Giannis in the post, Making the fouls count for something. Our frontcourt finally played like they realized they have natural gifts no other team has. are guards were flying all over the court on defense & closing out. We play with this intensity Vs the Clippers & we're going to blow them out
