    Don't forget. Luke is very dreamy to many females and gay men.

    That offense last night was awful. Particularly in the half court. No organization at all. Must dramatically improve.

    Lonzo would have helped. A lot.

    With shorter training camps and so many new faces, I kind of expect this

    Walton (and the whole team really) said they're still installing concepts. They ran the same basic plays over and over because they want to get good at those plays.

    If you're the defense and you keep seeing the same plays over and over it's going to get pretty easy to play defense.

    Lebron even said in his post game that the team literally has only installed 1-2 concepts already on offense. I'm not worried about that side of the ball.

    Starters look good but missing that play maker for the bench. The second quarter was a collection of iso plays and one and done possessions.

    The only thing I don't agree with: LeBron is NEVER going to be expected to lead a fast break. He will ALWAYS be expected to trail in some fashion unless he's already leaked out.

    LFR put out a video already categorizing his threes and they're almost all in transition or semi-transition. LeBron gives up the ball immediately when he's not ahead of the pack. The team is going to run and LeBron is going to absolutely FEAST off of scrambling defenses as a trail/trigger man. It's going to be beautiful when it's working.

    That was an amazing glimpse at how Luke perfectly handled what could have been a friction moment with Rondo. He was firm up front, then shifted to an encouraging mode to maintain their connection.

    Luke: “Yes I can”
