I would have gave Frank 12 minutes tonight to just try to bother Paul and Booker. We have really been getting killed by quicker guards lately even though we have been playing great.

The difference in this game was one player, Kevin Knox. Mikal Bridges is everything you want in a player and it was an easy decision to be made. Take the sure thing and 10 year 3/D or chase the next Jason Tatum. That's our biggest need right now. Bullock has been tremendous but finding that threat going forward is what takes this team to the next level.

The bold in answer to the length and athleticism angle. If CP3 had to chase someone like Kyrie for his entire time on the floor, things possibly would have ended different. Randle just looked gassed.

Mitch and Burks not hurt and we have that extra 3 and D. We probably wouldn't score jack sheehit, but a front line of Taj, Noel and Mitch might give teams nightmares. How'd you like to see Mitch or Noel running and launching themselves defending 3's? Crazy, man. Play Julius and RJ in the backcourt. LOL

Just watching the highlights again, I was impressed with several of Bullock's sequences on D.

I doubt we see Frankie any time soon. Not sure why, but it seems like Thibs has his mind made up. Why can't someone on the medical staff inject some of Elvis Hayton's offensive aggression into Frankie?

The reason being when Frankie checks in for like the last every game he seems to run up to the guy and foul him at the end of a good defensive sequence. Preferably behind the 3 point line. I am not sure if this is intentional but I sure hope it's not
