I thought Kidd, who willed the team to victory last nite god bless him, really hurt the team for about a 5 minute stretch in the 4th where he: made 2 unforced turnovers, allowed Rose to go backdoor on him for a layup and was slow to rotate to CJWatson moments after he hit a corner 3 allowing him a wide open look at another 3 from the top of the key.
And ive been begging for a rugged rebounding 4 for months now. Marion has simply slipped some as a rebounder. We made Kurt freaking Thomas look like a young Charles Oakley out there tonight. Need another physical banger. If Carlisle isn't going to give Ian Mahinmi a shot, that is.
