When he plays with Kyrie while Luka is on the bench, he seems to be in his comfort zone.

Also, baseball analogy....Luka is our ace starter and Kyrie is our rock solid closer.

This team is fun to watch and somewhat reminds me of the 2011 championship team....a lot of long athletic defensive studs around two great offensive players.

Green's role in half court is a coaching point I hope Kidd works on figuring out...
There's no question to me that it's by design to have him stand in the corner looking for the right opportunity to cut or crash the boards. surely there's more that could be done. He got that alley oop on a back pick. I feel like he should be running around screen and picks more looking to get leverage for an opening.

small hat tip to having Green be last man back on that jump ball... not sure maybe that's just how it worked out but he's one of our fastest players and he tracked that tip down with relative ease.
