Next Game is Against Clippers on Saturday

 

Tonight's Game Observation:  

- Lebron James offensive output is good tonight but our perimeter defense continues to suffer without Jarred Vanderbilt, it makes shooters on opposing teams look like Steph Curry. The positive impact of Jarred Vanderbilt is not limited to defense, he also allows us to have several 2nd chances on offense simply with pure hustle.

 

Suggestion: 

- Continue improving on handling bad calls from referees to make them a non factor each and every game.

 

Dear Coach: 

- I hope you have seen the value of playing Jarred Vanderbilt by now, and he should not be an after-thought and must be an integral part of your game plan. Jarred Vanderbilt has +7 per minute in recent win, and even better in some.
