Next Game is Against Grizzlies on Friday

 

Tonight's Game Observation:  

- The team's greatest weakness is in full display tonight against the Pistons. Our intensity on defense make it seem like Pistons are doing their routine 'shoot around practice'. Sagging defense  on perimeter shooters has never resulted in a positive outcome. I see Luka and Lebron do it, and the rest of the team follows .... WHY?

 

Suggestion: 

- Bad calls from referees continues to affect our players, they should expect it by now and just channel their frustration by fighting for every loose ball and playing hard on defense.

 

Dear Coach: 

- You can point out lack of fight from your players repeatedly, but the decision to care more about the game (defense) needs to come from them. I guess being spoiled by Kobe for 20 years about his love for the game, especially on how he care about winning, everyone will fall short of that measure. Fans are not asking for a Kobe like effort, but make the fans feel that you care about winning.
