Nobody is communicating when the double is coming. That’s on coaching if people don’t wanna talk they can come out the game

Shocked he stuck with Jenkins like that until the end of the game. Was that because Levert was out or he trust him? Or both? Happy to have another 20 + scorer to help Cade.

I think he's starting to figure out that the best way to utilize your depth is to be able to rest guys and still have a strong squad of guys to play more minutes instead of trying to play an 11-12 man rotation. This was the 2nd night off a back to back and 3rd in 4 nights. Perfect opportunity for the depth to work for them. This is how it should be going forward.

No easy games next week. Cant wait to see how we match up against the Bucks with Giannis.

They gotta throw ivey in the fire. Playing 5-15 minutes a game can’t last 2 much longer.

Every elite team had/has their coach on the floor, agreed on the talking part but these brothas been playing ball a long time/that should have been learned before they got to the NBA. They'll work it out though/get theirs.

Adaptability is part of it too/Cade should have known it was coming at the point. I'm not really blaming him though/already mentioned how that can be rectified.

That’s the start/ answer right there, a handler that can defend, WILLING to pass and can turn up that dial to score when needed. More minutes for this kid please.
