-We have to get in Miller's face and earn those 3's. It's one thing to invite Wade and Lebron to take jumpers but we can't gamble and let Miller feast from the perimeter. He's not Matt Bonner, Miller actually hits open shots on a consistent basis in the playoffs.
-Lebron will look to assert himself and take it to the whole so we have to keep mindful of limiting the fouling and not giving him and ones. He'll probably draw some fouls and get to the line but as long as it's not Kawhi or Green drawing them, we should be ok, there. This is where Splitter comes in and be ready to use up his fouls if need be.
-With Lebron being more aggressive and taking it inside, Green and Kawhi should trust Splitter and TD to make it tough for Lebron down low and be ready to guard the perimeter and keep Miller and Allen from getting open looks from three.
-Manu looked alot more comfortable in the game as he was moving well without the ball and with the team moving the ball well, he didn't force passes that weren't there and let the game come to him. He was also great running the pick and roll. I feel a big all around game coming from him soon.
-If TP is limited, we have to force feed TD down low right off the bat.
-One subtle way to improve the already great ball movement would mean no Bonner off the bench and more Diaw. I think Pop realized Bonner was not cutting it in halftime and the only reason Diaw didn't play in the 2nd half was because he wasn't needed. We'll see if Pop gives him a shot at some point in the first half on Thursday.
