He did what he had to and went small with AD at the 5.

Those bail-out 3s by LeBron are so frustrating. Run a real play.

Suns are good, but the hot shooting by Baynes and Rubio came back to normal down the stretch. Kuz made up for Lebron's apparent fatigue. Not sure what will happen tomorrow against the banged up Warriors.

Yep, they need to get away from hunting Booker or the worst defender and just run pick and roll with him and AD with Green/Bradley in the corner as a shooter. Because it ends up just being a step back jumper going left anyways.
And make some free throws. Yuck. He looks totally uncomfortable there again.
Big shots by Kuzma. As awful as he was against Toronto until the fourth quarter, he was a complete 180 tonight. Need it.

I think what we saw tonight is basically the rotation going forward.
Bradley, Green, LeBron, AD, McGee
Kuzma
Rondo
Howard
Caruso
It was nice not to have KCP out there. Feels good to have a real coach again.

Make those shots consistently and you won't hear a peep out of me. (Except for crappy defense.)
And we've obviously got a ton of season to work on it, but I wish we ran more pick-and-roll with LeBron and Davis. Seems like Vogel is more content to just park Anthony in the corner and spread the floor for LeBron when it gets down to brass tacks, which isn't ideal even though he can make them.
