I don't think the the one on one plays were the problem. There was only one of those. The rest of the shots he missed were actually wide open threes. He did a good job cutting to the basket again which is how he ended up with a few points.
It was the turnovers that were the problem and a couple missed rotations on defense. He had butterfingers today from passes by Rondo. |
Yep bad Kuz was back. Missed every crucial (and OPEN) 3 pointer, running over people, butter fingers, turnovers. The whole gory repertoire was on display.
Kuz is no "third guy." Think I just have to resign to the fact that he will never become a polished bb player. Then it's less painful to watch him. |
Yeah, we got bad Kuz tonight for sure. He was terrible. Need him to step it back up. |
Add "if a shot is important I am going to miss it" to the repertoire.  Just like our dear Sasha of many years ago.
All the signs of a weak basketball player. We really should not be surprised by his (bleep) play anymore.

| Kuzma is like an end of bench guy. Eye test doesn't lie, all the advancted stats don't lie. He's a scrub that could easily be out of the NBA soon. |

He passed up some shots.

Need to balance that out.

| I’ve been saying forever. The dude has not improved one bit since his rookie year where he scored decently on a bad team by stat padding. He has no offensive weapon, can’t shoot, can’t rebound nor pass on consistent basis, low bball IQ, fouling machine on defense. I just don’t know why some of you think he’s our 3rd option. I true believe he’s a owners pet, hence, Vogel is being pressured to play him. That’s the only reason I can think of why he’s getting minutes from Morris who made 9 of his last 10 three point attempts. |

Hield would be such a godsend for this starting 5 if paired with a defensive backcourt mate (Bradley). |

Kuz priorities ...
1. Hair/Clothes
2. Girls
3. Parties and clubs
4. $20mm deal
5. Stats
6. Lakers |

Don’t forget the travel violations he always do when starting his dribble drive too eagerly. |

| I wouldn't give up on him just yet - we might need his length + athleticism if we draw the Celtics in the Finals vs Tatum, even against the Heat he would be useful with all their small ball |

I am all up for trading Kuzma without a blink but Hield is not a solution.
there is a reason why he is coming off a bench...and the reason is not Luke |

We had 3 chances to tie it.
Kuz, LeBron, KCP all missed a 3. They should’ve just kept attacking.

| Didnt like his body language. Thought he was special in that he would be the rare first year playoff performer with that special poise. But I still believe in him. Just a little inexperienced and trying to do too much too quickly |

He sucks up to bron and Jeanie only reason he’s still here. I don’t see them giving him a major deal. He’s a 9th man the clear difference between him and MAGA porter is humongous |

What's the reason? And who said Hield is the one stop fix all solution?
You add a 20ppg scorer who can create his own shot and be an elite shooter off the ball and that is major for a team that often struggles to scorer. As long as you have a defensive backcourt mate, he's a great fit. Or you use him as a 6th man and we have the guy we all thought Kuzma could be. |

1 rebound in 26 minutes isn't good enough.

Hopefully your right, we need him to play well if we want to advance to the NBA finals, but that missed wide open brick was very frustrating. |

Kuz can’t compete against guys his size like Grant and Porter. He did better against Houston and Portland because they had him witch to smaller guys.
Btw .. Bogdan is the guy we should still go after. Not Hield |
