Hornets v Timberwolves 11/20

[AppHeel]

I think a big part of the last two wins was MCW's defensive presence and his control of the second unit off the bench. We needed a legitimate backup point guard in the worst way. When he was hurt, we had to live with Monk, Frank and sometimes Lamb firing up a ton of shots and not executing any offensive sets. Having a guy that can facilitate on offense, use guys like Cody effectively in PnR and organize on defense will be beneficial going forward. 

I thought Bacon's minutes would be the ones that suffered, but he has more defensive ability right now than Monk and that is probably why he is playing and Monk isn't. Monk will get his time though. Clifford has never been a big believer in playing rookies (especially young ones, see Noah Vonleh) right away and we can all agree that while Monk is talented and exactly who we needed to pick, he's green and has some developing to do. He's going to be a great player for us.

 

Great couple of wins though. Let's keep it up!
