The Love/Crowder front court is too small to have LBJ sandbag with respect to rebounding.

Like 80% of what frustrates me about this team is so easily fixable. K. Love put your hands up on defense. LBJ rotate on defense and rebound. Crowder get back on transition D so other guys can get boards.

We haven't played since Wednesday and LBJ's effort on the defensive end of the court is non existent.

I'm coming around to the idea that either TT or J. Green should start over Crowder.

Crowder and LBJ just can't be bothered to put a body on anybody. If you force Love to defend the shooter, you can get a rebound and an easy shot right under the basket.

Yeah I'm about done with being patient regarding Crowder.
Great contract should be easy to move before the deadline if the opportunity to improve the roster is there.

He'd be fine off the bench as LBJ's replacement. But he's really a three and LBJ simply won't play four so I can't see any reason to continue starting him.

This game is an embarrassment. There's been some questionable officiating but come on. If you're up by 20+ on the Magic, you've got to be able to put them away.

Typical of high IQ offensive first players
That didn't pick up the switch can see they have no chance of disrupting the shooter at that point (or don't respect that players shooting)who by all accounts under most circumstances with KLove is him knowing the numbers and inviting them to shoot when they should be attacking the rim.
Putting his hands up wouldn't do much in those situations other than potential for bad foul calls.

Play Cedi more.
