The more I look at this team the more I Like it

One thing no one mentioned is this team is a rebounding monster

Bron McGee ad and cousin and even rondo gonna get a lot of boards

They should play slow and physical

Clips have no playmaking while the Lakers have rondo and Bron who both had 8 assist on a team with shytty shooting. Add in 3 elite finishers( ad Bron cousins) and they team gonna score will

Defense tho.... :yeshrug: hopeful Vogel has something :francis:
I said this a lil while ago :manny:

There's no need to play uptempo ball with Bron/AD (and Cousins if he starts)

It won't be the prettiest offense, but they could flat out muscle teams. Also slowing the game down helps with LeBron's defense.


Now if the 2nd unit wants to run (assuming Rondo is off the bench) then thats fine. :ehh:

:jbhmm:

Bron isn't an elite defender anymore so I don't if it can get to that level. As long as they defend the 3ball well...they should dominate the boards and paint.

AD is going to dominate in the half court offense. Bron Ball...again not the prettiest...is very effective.

Just need that 2nd unit to put up a lot of points cause the 2nd unit defense is bad.

last year's second unit scored well, led by Kuz. Later in the year when Luke fukked with rotations and injuries took their toll, the bench scoring dropped. Hopefully Vogel is better about it.
