Couple of bad turnovers and Green's 0-3 are hurting us. Meanwhile Davis doesn't have a shot yet.

As I've said several times, Kuzma is most effective when driving to the bucket and using that length. That's why I think his drills with that shooting coach got him in the wrong mindset. He's a scorer, not a shooter.

I would see if we can get LeBron a few extra minutes of rest to start the quarter.

Can’t keep trying to force this Lebron+Rondo+Howard lineup. Come on Vogel.

Lebron missed a a breakaway layup and pretended like he hurt his elbow. Come on dude you’re better than that.

His elbow hit the ground, his sleeve even tore.

He’s simply most effective when allowed to be Kuz and every bench has one of them. Vogel had one of them in Indy in Lance. Manu was one, Odom was one, Kukoc was one, JR Smith was one as a sixth man, and so on. You can’t pigeon hole your 6th guy into a role. You have to let them play their way and most times you have to let them close games and get big minutes even if they don’t start. Vogel has to learn that with Kuz. Lou is another example too

He didn’t make up the hole on his elbow sleeve from that camera

This is exactly how it should be though. Kuzma and KCP should be number 3 and 4 in minutes, in shots, and closing every game.
