The past year or so, coaches have repeatedly emphasized to Kyle the importance of staying within their system of letting Lebron set it up and NOT BE extra aggresive, not force shots etc and now with Lebron probably not playing for at least the next couple of games, he has to score more....

Didn't watch the game, but no AD or Lebron and Kuzma still only got 8 shots up?

Yep. It’s time to say **** all that though and tell him look to score and you’ll defend for him. Plus give Trez a lot of isos and Dennis a green light. Time for Marc to return too.


Dennis
KCP
Kuz
Kieff
Marc

Trez
THT
Alex
Wes

Lot of high minute nights, lot of isos, and add in some wheel route plays to get KCP looks as well as Wes spacing the floor

The offense we run is so bad that it doesn’t surprise me when kuz ends up with 8 shot attempts. Trez was cooking then and we couldn’t even isolate him properly in offense.

Apparently according to the Twitter doctors (a guy who treated LeBron previously) mentioned it could take 8-10 games for him to heal, so that would be around 3-4 weeks at least. He's still LeBron, but he's also 36 so I think it's safe to assume that time period. In the end, as long as we're around the 7th-10th spot and everyone is healed up we can win. There is no real home-court advantage anyway.

All things even besides that damn play in bracket, because it’s one loss and done for 9 and 10, I don’t care. Just get 7 or 8

If the Lakers are the eighth see and draw Utah, who really cares? Bron and AD healthy vs Mitchell and Gobert go be a blood bath.

If they draw Dame lol, AD has been there and done that **** before James was even with him, swept his ass as the lower seed. And dame is horrible in the playoffs, talking van exel inefficient as his three ball and jumper go away.

If you draw the suns it’s short travel, Booker has never been there before, and you always got a shot CP goes down.

If you draw the clippers you have home court and don’t travel for a extra 2-3 weeks. Paul George is going to be pandemic p and they haven’t won back to back games since January.

Luka will be treated like Harden was treated by Vogel so ain’t no worries there.

Really and truly I just wouldn’t want Denver know round 1 but other than that they can pull a Hakeem Rockets

Does Marc return next game? I mean right now he’s the best playmaker on the team so they may want to use him more for a stretch

Marc would be great setting up the offense but Vogel would be crucial in creating sensible sets that would put his players in better scoring opportunities. UCLA cuts, down screens, Schroder screen roll with Harrell or pick and pop for shooters etc.
