Kind sir worthy what did you say?

Rondo disrupted the **** out of them as the helper and then pushed it on O perfectly.

It does worry me though because you're giving them open 3's and when they get hot, they get hot. It's dangerous.

Sitting Caruso and Kuz at the top of the zone when they have your best defensive numbers is smart

It is funny how much better Frank is on D than any coach we have had since Phil. He could probably have made Lonzo, Hart, Zubac, and Ingram serviceable last year and added a different dynamic to that group

Our defense is locked in this game you can feel the intensity. Just got to keep it up we can't get complacent this Rockets team can get hot quick.

Rondo allows Lebron to play off ball and on the low post. I like him, he gives the team some versatility.

Waiters go be benched because that’s the second time he missed his matchup in the zone. It’s why he won’t play under this coach, much like with Spo. He has no defensive iq

there shouldn't be a single minute where either AD and/or Lebron aren't on the floor at the same time

AD needs to get better position in the paint and get Tucker into foul trouble.

It definitely helps Lebron with the ball handling.

Gave them too many open 3s towards the end. But otherwise good half.

Missed the first half. How has the offense been different? How did AC, Kuz, and rondo do?
