I am about done with the PJ and other isolations. Can't we do better? We had hoped Lively may eventually be our third best player at some point soon, but it appears his role doesn't change even with Kyrie and Luka out. He is shoot 11..which is an improvement but no focus on getting him the ball. I am sorry too, but if he catches the ball outside and his defenders drops back into the lane, Lively needs to force the issue there. Instead of doing a contested handoff.
The real concern is the defense though. We had most of our good defenders last night and still couldn't stop a injury depleted Grizzles team. What is going on with the defense?

Yes! there needs to a system that isn't to allow PJ, Klay, Dinwiddie just to get their own shots. PJ can do it a little, but over time it is a losing battle imo if you are asking him to try to create for himself.
