We also need to give credit to Russ.
He had 15 assists.
He is forming a solid duo with AD on the P&R's.

Russ has to be a top candidate for the 6th man of the year award.

The coaching staff also deserve some credit for finding the weak points of the defense and Russ, Lebron and other teammates are doing a great job executing. Great screen rolls and at attacking enabling AD to get inside position instead of him just lurking from 20 feet and Just settling for low% shots.

Ok now, we seem to be heading into a certain direction. Rather than wandering aimlessly

Yeah, we now have developed an offensive identity.
Cutting down on TOs. Role players getting the job done.
AD and LBJ are a dominant duo.
Russ fitting in well off the bench, dishing the ball effectively, and cutting down on his mistakes.
Reaves, Walker, and Gabriel have been terrific in their roles.

I still feel that in order to be a legitimate playoff team, we need to become more defensively minded.
We started the year strong on the defensive end.
We're not terrible now but we need to get better.

They can’t close a game out with a big lead and that’s frustrating. Tonight almost reminded us of pacers game. I’m happy AD got 55 but he could have or should have sat on the bench the rest of the game. Regardless this team needs a wing or two. A quality 3&D wing would be so key for this roster. Gabriel does all the gritty work and he’s very undervalued imo. Lonnie has been a great move and really helped after losing Monk. I feel like Reaves should get more playing time over Pat Bev but they do it for his defense. Eric Gordon would be someone that could help on the offensive side. Terrance Ross another player that could help and he’s on his last year of his contract. Very curious what options may be available on the buyout market this year
