The defense has been putrid
It's about pressure...he's putting too much pressure on frank and jack and thjr. kemba, michael, monk...their trio pressuring ours and winning. We haven't really put any pressure from our guards against outside of Jack in that last 45 seconds.
We are making plays for our bigs. They are not afraid of our guards penetrating because they figure they can trap 'em.

I thought he was a perfect pick with his scoring. I knew Melo was gone, and we needed a shooter. But Frank could be the real deal, just from his all around game.
I was a Monk guy cuz I felt we needed a DYNAMIC scorer but I do like the potential Frank has as an Elite 2Way player once he’s developed. Frank has never faced a kid with the kind of talent of a Kemba or Monk in France. This will take some adjustment to deal with Top NBA Level Guards.
We either need to play better D at 3-line or hornets need to cool off
and we need to cut down turnovers and muscle up on boards
Hard to believe we’re actually shooting better. Seemed hornets cant miss
We can adjust and win

I like monk but let’s not get carried away. He’s averaging 8 points
Last year lamb had like 15 rebounds against us. Seems like whenever we play hornet some one gets hot

i would say that when we faced kyrie we lost, when we faced harden we lost, so maybe frank is at that point now where he can handle tier 2 guards, but not tier 1 yet.
Need to get Dotson in there to get some D on their guards
our 3 point defense still sucks so if we don't shore that up, combined with the fact that we suck at 3 point shooting in general, it would mean bad results against good outside shooting teams.

We haven't lost yet.

3 pointers are killing us - we don't step out and defend
Hardaway come on now just jacking it up

Our interior defense hasn't been much better...
