* We really need to improve our pick n roll defense. We're not reacting/rotating quick enough. Teams are targeting out weaker defenders (Gasol, Harrell, etc..) and picking us apart with ball movement and penetration. I think Coach Vogel needs to mix and match the starting lineup. Start AD at center against smaller/mobile frontcourts and Gasol against bigger centers.

*Lebron did not have his usual 4th quarter serge. His shooting was terrible from the field and FT line. I believe the extended minutes and short rest in the 3rd qt tired him out. Vogel should've rested Lebron an extra 2 minutes to start the 4th, we were only down by 2 points (95-93)

* AD's putting up some solid numbers but he's not his normal self. I don't know if he's pacing himself or isn't fully healthy...If he's less than 100% it would be best to increase load management. Sit him until he is 100%....We had a short offseason. The last thing we need is AD breaking down due to a lack of rest. Being healthy for the playoffs is all that matters...Unfortunately, we no longer have Dwight to fill in for AD when he dnp. So that's going to put more pressure on our interior D, rebounding, and post scoring.

championship hangover + boring players. at least we had autistic mcgee being a clown, dwight's athleticism and rondo last year to bring fun. and now that AD is bored and doesn't even try it makes the games even boring even tho he's not playing right now
