      Vogel was not a great coach at all. The bubble chip was because the team was actually constructed decently and AD was able to stay healthy due to the amount of time off during the season.

      He's not the same player he was two years ago, but he's definitely playing hard both offensively and defensively so far. I can't fault him much. It's hard to grab offensive rebounds when your team is shooting long ball. Guards are more likely to grab those than centers or power forwards. The game is no longer played inside like it used to be.

An injury is coming soon if they keep doing this and they will keep losing games because he's not being rested enough to be effective in the 4th quarter. They should have gone to AD for the remaining 3 mins of the 4th quarter and the ball should be in LeBron's hand or Reeves if LeBron is trying to post.

    Game 2 was a close game. They actually came back. Westbrook shot terrible but he had some great defensive plays.
    Game 3 was an even closer game. Yes westbrook made a terrible shot choice at the end but it was a close game. Defensively it was great.
