Some thoughts on the game:

It seems like it's just me who noticed that Mullens played a horrible defensive game, it was on the same level as his last season's performances. He routinely got out-run by Derrick Williams (the worst occasion was him bricking a three, then back-pedalling to the defensive end, only for Williams being behind his back the whole time. thank god, he played a horrible game, he should have had 20 points) and didn't rotate properly on plays where he should have come over from the weak side to contest layups. I can't say anything bad about him crashing the boards though.

Did Tyrus have one of those games we expect him to have 82 times a season or what? Taking the jumpers he should take, instead of ill-advised shots, contesting every shot in the paint he can, being active. I'll even forgive him for that crappy travelling call late in the game. I just love the performance that the Tyrus-Biz duo had, they completely locked down the paint.

Now, who was the one to tell me that Sessions has become better at three point shooting? It still seems to me that he's pretty bad.

If Minny had one more guy healthy/Malcolm Lee hit one of those wide open threes/Derrick Williams wouldn't have missed all those layups/Minny didn't play an absolutely crappy game/Kirilenko had any help we would have lost.

That's nice to say but all are guys were active for the most part. Add any of Love, Rubio, Pek into the mix last night and you guys would have won. Good game none the less.


FWIW we were without Gerald Henderson and Ben Gordon. Not to mention I think MKG is still struggling with his back pains. At least they still had a All-Star in AK47 on the floor.
