    he mentions it above, but i'm hoping he and luka both take some lessons from having watched the team come together in their absence. i don't know that it's their fault, but it feels like the role players relax too much when we have the big guns, luka, in particular.

    I think it's human psychology, you just naturally defer to the 'leader', the one responsible for making it happen. When they're not there you just increase your level of responsibility and do more.

    But yeah the ideal is to find that level while having your big guns

    He played ok for a first game back, but man I feel like we just reverted to so much ISO because of it, went away from that ball movement that had us winning the earlier games.

    Lots of that ball movement disappeared in game 4 I feel. Ball movement works really well when guys are hitting shots and the defense is rotating like crazy, but Kennard going cold has slowed things down.

    Anyways, nice to have AR back, he fought hard defensively.

    The rust was apparent especially in his shooting percentage tonight. A month off will do that. He did still have nice drives. This one was not on AR.
