| Please please please let this game be a sign that Kuzma is finally coming out of his funk from 3. Iirc, he slumped pretty badly during the middle of last season but finished strong. It would be incredible for our stretch run if he does that again. |

He is, as you saw tonight. |
Again we've rung around this rossy many times.
Kuzma has had several bad games where he got legitimate criticism, and then he has one good game and the people that love him jump up and try to eliminate any criticisms and start overrating him again. Kuzma's last 3 games prior to this one he'd put up 11/1/1 on 39% from the field and 27% from three. Today he came back strong in the 2nd half and was key to us beating the Celtics.
Kuzma had a great comeback in the 2nd half, now let's hope he carries it into the next game.

He's a good fit with LeBron and I think we are going to see more games like this from him.

Let's not forget his last few games where he was horrible.
I'm hoping it was due to playing hurt.
We need him to get back into gear. |

Tatum did a good job scoring on Rondo and Lance, otherwise he didn't make that much of an impact in the 2nd half. |

Yea he's been pretty bad, but we all kinda knew he was due for a break out game.
With Bron, Rondo, and Ingram setting him up I expect to see this version of him for the rest of the season. |

This is the best he has looked since the hip injury.

You are acting like he was spoon fed. Lol. Ingram is set up for the same 3 pointers also, but he rarely shoots them and burns 14 seconds off the clock dribbling |

Way to take a positive take in the wrong direction..
Everyone knows Kuz plays well off of Bron and Rondo, I included Ingram last because he did hit him for a few buckets.
I don't see how I was acting like anything really.. shrugs |

Imagine if we had Kobe and T-Mac on the same team.
How many people do you think would be going "OMG WE GOT KOBE AND T-MAC ON THE SAME TEAM" vs the people going "KOBE IS BETTER THAN T-MAC/T-MAC BETTER THAN KOBE" on a game by game basis?

Umm. Shaq and Kobe. People still meet in Temecula for that.

Yeah this, I cringed when he switched onto Kyrie late in the fourth.
Offense well and truly makes up for it but he won't be a flat out star with that defense |

It's Kyrie Irving. Outside of maybe Lonzo...nobody on this team could've done anything. |

Tatum was 1-4 for 4 pts in the 4th.
Kuz was 2-3, but hit the biggest 3 of the night!  |

Kuz was huge in the second half.
Five 3's  His 3 point game has to be his biggest priority this season. He can work on the Kobe turnaround mid-range fadeaways in the off season |
