Not a comforting 4th Q tonight, but it was enough. Team has to find a way to stop bleeding in the 4th of every game.

Great stuff from Frank, Marvin and MKG tonight.

Kemba and Batum both played like crap.

Frank gaining confidence to put the ball on the deck is the biggest thing imo.

For real dude? He's been our only consistent source of offense for weeks.

Great game by Frank. He's evolving into a solid player

MKG scorches the nets for 16% shooting but let's get mad at Kemba, the only reason we haven't lost about 25 in a row

Couple more baller games from Frank and Cody Zeller's quad will be sore until October

His performance has significantly dropped off in 2017. His line in our last 10:

18.7 pts, 40% FG, 35% 3PT, 5.4 ast, 2.5 to, 3.9 boards

He has not been All Star caliber since January started. I'm going to treat him like he should be All Star caliber because I think he is and deserves that treatment.

I would like to thank WCS for jogging after Frank on closeouts for this win. Thank you Cauley-Stein, Frank needs confidence boosting like he needs Hugo to leave his McAllister's Sweet Tea alone. A few more of these outbreaks and we can feel okay about his draft selection.

random side-note - some things about Cliff seemingly won't change ever. He just can't rest his starters in a timely fashion. This time around it didn't happen at all.

Papa G had played 18 minutes the whole season and was inserted with 5:32 left in the game while the Kings were down 23. That's the ultimate white flag. Clifford leaves the starters in as Kam, Walker, Marvin and Belinelli go over their PT averages. Second game of a back-to-back on the road to be played tomorrow...

I don't mind that, this team needs to learn not to blow leads. I would agree if we hadn't given up massive leads the last two games in the 4th quarter.
