You can tell LeBron is getting annoyed of playing PG.

Not sure how Vogel can put a lineup out there that doesn't have at least 1 of Bron, AD, or Kuz.

Vogel is hoping Green gets out of his slump. Dude is so trash right now.

If we had one person that could hit a consistent 3, we would be dominating.

He looks frustrated not getting calls and seems fatigued. It's taking a lot of energy driving to the bucket like that.

Exactly the way I was hoping this game would go... put Bron on the block and give Waiters some burn.

Defense has vastly improved. Lillard is not getting the ball too much either.

His touches look about the same. I think we're just doing a much better job on those high screen and occasionally sending two guys at him.

Lebron is still arguably a top 5 player, but you can definitely see his game is slipping a bit.

The adjustment of back to back plays with Lebron posting up on Trent after he started picking him up full court was brilliant - Credit to Vogel / Kidd if they did it.

Loving the AD v Whiteside adjustment too. Whiteside's been so limited, which is good for our shooting percentages at the rim and Nurkic has 3 fouls already.

I think part of it si spending too much energy just bringing the ball up court. He looked better the last 5 minutes of the half just posting up and waiting for Dion to give him the ball.

Bit by bit through the last 4 years. He's been finishing awfully at the rim since the restart.

Our defense is what's winning this game. They've locked down Dame just got to keep it up.
