| Kuz is missing a lot of 3’s but he starting to play more like himself. Maybe he’ll be able to start during BI’s suspension and finally have a chance to prove himself.. |

I think we need to not play Kuz in crunch time until that D gets better. Kind of killing us at times.
Maybe if he’s shooting really well but right now we’re getting no shooting and poor D. |

What lineups are you thinking of then? After the suspensions are over, I mean.

| I think we have to go back to McGee to close. Until we have an advantage of some type with Kuzma we are just making it too easy. |

I diagree. LeBron plays more like a 4 on defense than a 3. He doesn't want to chase players. |

Dont know if my memory is failing me, but felt like Kuz at 5 was fine when HOu went small.
Its when the other team is playing a legit center it fails miserably. |

| Probably our biggest breakdown of the game was Kuz getting lost last night and we gave up a three and it had nothing to do with the size in the lineup. That’s not even going into detail on how much they picked on him. He’s just not ready for it yet, so we should probably be a little more conventional in key moments of the game until he gets there. |

Guess we needed Ingram to be suspended to find out if Kuzma should be starting or not? |

Kuzma can’t play defense regardless of the position lol
I rather have LeBron defending 3s than Kuzma , sadly |

I honestly think playing Kuzma at center is ruining his game He's not adjusting to it at all.His shot is way off from last year.As bad on defense as he was last year he wasn't this bad. |

It was pretty comical how much Houston kept picking up on him on defense last night, they kept giving the ball to whoever he was guarding and kept attacking him lol

Yeah but people here will say he’s struggling on defense because he’s guarding centers.
I didn’t see Capela cook him?
He was getting beat by guards and wings |

| Way too much hype surrounding Kuzman. I want consistency from these players, not the occasional big game. Kuzman was supposed to be better, not worse. Hart seems to have gotten better. BI seems slightly better. Not Kuzman. No more excuses. |
