Serious question... Has Jason Kidd done anything this season? Anything at all?

He has done an outstanding job holding the clipboard and handing it off to Vogel at the beginning of timeouts. No one does it better.

Hes there day to day ? Does the team seem more defensive minded because of him?

That was a convincing win. Now let's see how they deal with Denver.

If you told me at the beginning of the season that we would be 40-12 near All-Star break, without making any moves at the trade deadline and integrating in new coaches and new players I’d probably laugh at you, but here we are.

I get the feeling this team has another gear. Looked like idling yesterday. We’ve shown it in some fourth quarters where we shut teams down.

LeBron played rock solid to elite defense for long stretches yesterday.

Me too, I think the team is hiding some of its weapons and in some losses it looked like the team didn't really try. I'm really optimistic about this season (barring any type of major injury).

No love for Green's defense on Booker? He was solid.

When he's locked in he's a great defender. We're gonna need that from him at least 16 times in the post season and I think he can deliver it.

That’s what he does. He’s laser focused and very intelligent. Come playoffs time, he’ll lock it in and make life hell for opposing wings. Every game.

Vogel needs to play Lebron 3 mins tops for the Allstar game while ordering Kawhi to defend Giannis for 48. Jokic to play 40 mins hounding trae young or kemba
