The next time Dunlap makes a defensive adjustment will be the first time.

Ya, I didn't know he was the douchey type to "shoosh" the crowd all night when hitting 3's and carry on with all that crap on the game winner either.

Great job, Dunlap.
Your glad he didn't adjust at all? putting MKG on Kyrie atleast slows him down

It always is on a scramble play like that.
it was only open because our guys were all on the perimeter
Right - drawing their defenders out of the paint and leaving it open.
Down screen from the low post for Tyrus to come around, have your guys from the weakside switch and set stagger screens at the elbow and top of the key, Tyrus rips around, goes straight down the heart of the paint, in bound lob.
Boo-ya.

Thanks Dunlap for giving Walker a chance to shine in the end there.

Gordon plays much better D than MKG...doesn't he?

Gilchrist is a good defender, but he isn't going to play all world defense on one of the best PGs in the league coming in cold off of the bench. Hes not Scottie Pippen, yet.

agreed. there was too much hot talent on the floor to take one of our guards out, all three were playing good for the last few minutes
I like the call by Dunlap. Went with the guys that got us back in the game.
Overall I'm okay with this game. We fought back and it took an amazing 4th by Kyrie for them to squeak it out.

Some of you would moan and complain if Dunlap pee'd the wrong way in the morning. I've been on his arse all season long for some of his rotations and such, but I think letting the veterans try and finish out a game that they basically put us back in was the best decision, by far.

But in the end he failed because we lost. I don't care how well our veterans were playing on the offensive end...they couldn't get defensive stops when it mattered. In the closing minutes/minute we would have been better off with Walker and MKG in the game.

That's an idiotic statement considering we're a rebuilding team.

Im just happy he switched away from the "player development" phase long enough to play the hot hands for one quarter. It isn't as if we left Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant on the bench the entire time.

Well I assume Dunlap was trying to win this game, in which case he did indeed fail. I've just seen so much weird stuff from Dunlap this season that I can't but be... annoyed at his holding out two of our better players in a close game, especially considering we did end up losing it.

So instead of nearly winning the game we would lose by 10-13 right? I am all for giving the young bloods good minutes, but tonight we had to stick with the ones that actually put us in a situation to win.

Re: GT Jan 4th: Charlotte Vs Cleveland 7:00pm
Having Miles and Thompson style all over you in the 1st half, That's bad
Coming back strong to take the lead mid-way through the fourth. That's good
Holding back Kemba and MKG. That's bad
Henderson, TT and JT showed aggression when needed. That's good
If anyone was going to bury us, I'm glad it was Kyrie. Much love for him because of his Melbourne roots and he is a heck of a young player. Like others though, wasn't a fan of his carry on after he hit his shots.
