No 2-2 business against this team. 3-1 is the only acceptable outcome. Go get ‘em. Focus.

Time for a Kuzma blow-up game.

despise the no home court advantage construct in the bubble... If this was a coming back to Staples game, my mentality would be a lot different, just as it would for a going to Portland game... Don't know what to think.

But like I said before. A championship contender would keep their foot on them and keep laying beat-downs on them. A pretender lets them get back up. 2-2 would be really bad in the bubble.

See Clips for an example.

25 or more mins for Caruso please.

He's statistically the best defender in the playoffs, first in defensive win shares and has an under 80 drtg.
He's a difference maker and the only guy I thrust on Lillard.

Limit Lillard and this is a walk in the park.

I know right. Vogel has the sense to use him at SG and SF as a defender over the 4 and 5 like Luke. He really reminds me of how Kidd used to defend when he was older in Dallas tendency wise so you can see he’s been getting taught

But pretty much when those two come in it’s lock down on the perimeter. And Kieff has a good rating as a defender at the 4 on this team. One of your best defensive lineups was actually Caruso Kuzma Bron Kieff AD
