I don’t have the numbers but so far the Kleber at PF-minutes didn’t appear to be great to me. But if that’s not working your C-rotation is completely overcrowded aka a bad use of assets. We need it to work.
I REALLY dislike the trend of not playing Lively in the closing lineups. At least he’s up to his mid 20s minutes-pace but they need to stop jerking him around.
Also: the Maxi at PF-minutes came with a ton of DJJ at the three. That might be an issue going forward due to the lack of shooting and craftiness from 3-5.

Green might have taken a leap defensively. Gets even more steals and deflections and did a good job staying in front of his matchups.
Also it’s 2 AM over here. YUCK.
I agree with some of your analysis here, but I would like to point out that when Kleber is at the five, the SPACE that creates might just give Luka some extra options, know what I mean?
Definitely agree that DJJ at the 3 will make anything not work.
I don’t mind Lively not closing because Kleber/Washington out there is the best defensive approach they can take. They are stifling when they are playing well together.
