Clifford deserves a lit bag of poop on his doorstep if he doesn't start Frank next year.

I honestly thought that would be his role when we traded for him coming off a career-low season but boy was I wrong. Our dumb front office had intentions of making him a 2nd option when he’s been nothing more than a 3rd-4th fiddle in Portland even with ample opportunity. Coming off the bench as a 6th man actually is a ideal role for him considering his versatility to play 4 positions whereas he can play 25-30 minutes.

A mixture of post ASB Frank kicking in and Marv stinking it up of late. I still think Frank is better served as a C. Hopefully he can get his defensive focus back to what it was during his first 2 seasons. If he could I wouldn’t be opposed to moving Cody in order to make that happen but of course we get a bigger fish to fry first (Dwight).

I don’t know, I didn’t see that story but if I had to read body language throughout the season it seemed like each of Kemba, Batum, MKG, and Marv disliked playing with him. The only guys that seemed to like him were the younger bench guys like Lamb, Monk, and Bacon.

No wonder whenever we went against his former teams or against former teammates it’s always the guys like Robert Covington (Houston) and Tim Hardaway Jr (Atlanta) that talk to him the most extensively after games. No coincidence there.

Cliff leaving the subs in until 5 minutes remaining in the 4th just because they were playing "well" (went back and forth with he Cavs keeping deficit between 11-14 pts) doomed any chance of a comeback. It was nice to see the kids hang with Lebron and not get instantly buried, but you gotta do the math and realize the lead isn't shrinking and time is running out. That was horrible clock awareness on his part.

I'm glad Kemba got the record right there at the end in front of the home crowd, he deserves it. Dell was classy throughout, I think Eric Collins put it best when he told him during the broadcast "you've worn the crown well".

That's because Cliff's rotations are garbage. That's the root problem of many an opponent's 16-2 runs that we've grown accustomed to seeing. MKG was getting bodied worse than Bacon last night.

To your other point, Dell handled all this very well. Agreed.
