This garbage line up is horrific to watch.
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing, Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before;

I wish this game was over already without anyone getting hurt.
It is a true pleasure though to beat Steve Kerr’s ass. He didn’t hesitate to beat ours in our down years.

Up 7 games in the loss column over the Hobos. After this next few game stretch we don't have a very hard schedule. We should be able to rest a little if we take care of business.

Cool Rondo and Kuzma stepped up to the plate. Hopefully they keep it up. We’ll see..

Got the win, Lebron rested and AD didn't play the fourth. Not much more you can ask for.

It’s good to see we could adjust our defense in the second half. We plugged the lanes and controlled the low post. That made the difference. In the first ... ugly.

I didn't watch the game last night, how is Morris looking on the court?

Morris hit bigs 3s that i didnt think he was gonna hit. Looked as if dude was all over him and in his mug, and Morris said take this facial! He is the best that were gonna get at this point and time, so ill take it. But so far in this feeling out period early stage....hes been sufficient.

Morris just him being out there on the perimeter makes a good visual difference. I like the hustle that Avery /Caruso/KCP brings but they are pretty stunted physically against any team w a roaming, larger-bodied, perimeter threat, and I never really see Kuzma fighting in defense w that person. And it is not going to be Lebron of course. (yeah sometimes Dwight will all of a sudden swing out to defend at the perimeter sometimes, but that isnt his focus)
Looks like a complete defensive team now that Morris is just able to body up on perimeter guys it shows.

Morris looked a bit lost in the system, but nothing a few games under his belt won’t fix

So is LeBron going to sit out tomorrow against @Memphis ? I think he could afford to. Perhaps even the back to back game @new Orleans.
Philly maybe as well as both simmons and embiid will be out.

He was still a beat slow up until the 3rd quarter when it looked to me like things were starting to gel for him... He has a nice shot and a good touch around the rim. He still looks a little lost, and isn't really the defensive presence I'd hoped he'd be yet, but I think there's reason for optimism. And these next few games we can afford to get him some burn.
I'm not entirely sure he's feeling the whole broham touchy feely chemistry this team has around LeBron... He spent most of the game chatting with Dudley it looked like... But Kuz seemed to make it a point to feed him on a handfull of plays (I think the defense stopped him from passing a couple times but you could tell the idea was to try to get the ball to morris)... and I think he liked that.
Work in progress.

Good insight. Thanks for taking the time to type it up. Hopefully he begins to buy into the culture. Its gotta be a big change coming from Detroit to Los Angeles.

His play in the 3rd was the pivot point for the game.
Rondo's good games shorten the game thread by several posts... that's the best part.

And Rondo's bad games shorten the game threads by a couple dozen posts because you're MIA. You're nowhere to be found when he's stinking up the joint, but you never miss an opportunity to chest pound when he has his monthly good game.
