I just might buy a Schroder jersey. Not even kidding. He's so good.

Schroeder’s perimeter defense isn’t all that great. He should watch tapes of Rondo.

Always a great win when we beat Pop.
We did just enough to win.
Still waiting to see when they’ll turn on the D .
I know it’s coming

I'm beginning to get concerned about Kuzma and that extension. Only 5 games in but he's the only player to be a terrible negative on both offense and defense and he's sinking every single line up he is in. Won't be long before THT swallows all his minutes and you have to attach an asset to move his ass.

THT was god awful vs Portland chasing Trent which got him benched. He also is a black hole in the season when he plays.
Kuzma +10
Kuzma -23
Kuzma +38
Kuzma +7
Kuzma +1
Shooting 46% from the field. Shooting 44% from three on the five attempts a night Vogel said he expects Kuz and AD both to take. Shooting 75% from the line which is still one of our best. And averaging 12 points on 1 less shot a night than he took last year. All in 25 mins.
Kuz is literally a +33 on the season when he is on the floor and the team has one of their best defensive ratings with him out there.
We are a +9 total when THT plays, largely in garbage time off of leads Kuzma and the real players have built up. He had a nice preseason but Xavier Henrys clone isn't a rotation player, and as Trent exposed him, he is no defender like Caruso either.
You don't have to be a blatant liar thought to promote THT and slander Kuzmas actual production. The only game he has been a negative in was Portland. And that includes the Clipper game where Kuzmas defensive numbers against PG were much better than anyone on the team. PG13 shot a mediocre 3-7 (42.8%) when guarded by Kuzma and PG13 shot a blistering 10-11 (90.9%) when guarded by 9 different Laker.

The Rondo who didnt play a single lick of defense during 2yrs of RS?
I bet he is watching those tapes

Solid win, although some things are still concerning. AD hasn't had a good performance for his standards and Poëtl made Harell look like a third-string player which is more troublesome. LeBron also missed easy bunnies and got blocked more so than ever the last few games which shows that his legs aren't back yet and he's taking things slow which isn't necessarily a bad thing. And like mentioned by other posters, Schröder must start playing better defense because he's giving up what he makes. A lot of it looks like championship hangover effect and the cause of the shortened off-season. I'm hoping we'll see some more high-intensity games soon because I don't see them trying enough on the defensive end.
