1) I hate losing to Boston.
2) Wish LeBron would get the Tatum treatment from the refs but we know that’ll never happen in purple and gold.
3) Best Vando game yet, 5 out sets don’t augment his game, though.
4) Rui taking too many shots, DLo and Reaves are both more efficient and effective but he kind of played right into Boston’s game plan. Different game if he’s hitting shots like he did vs. OKC.
5) Hayes has had a nice long look but I think Wood would have been a better match up. He musta kicked someone’s dog or something.
5 Things: Effin Weak

Watching this and the OKC game and I’m thinking the 5 out set isn’t really working. It needs shooters who make shots, that ain’t us. Especially with the starting five we’re currently deploying we have 2 guys who could be screening, cutting and boxing out standing 20+ feet from the rim. The 5 out set really doesn’t support either Cam or JV’s game and, as a result, weakens the impact of that unit. They overly rely on LeBron and AD and hope TP is making shots that day.
I think it still has merit, just needs to be used more with the bench squad and the staff needs to see that, given the current starting lineup, we may need to add to the plan.
