Yeah I was thinking that he still has all the lateral quickness, speed, and dribbling ability. I think the only noticeable struggle is his lift. He has no explosiveness off the ground. He´s eaten some bad looking blocks and he struggles around the rim sometimes. Today he twice went for the reverse lay-up, cause he was worried about not getting enough elevation and height to avoid the block from behind on a regular lay-up.
Of course we don´t know how much he´s hurting (if at all) and how his knees would react to fairly regular minutes, but nobody that is completly done scores 44 points in an NBA game.

That was the best defense I’ve seen Bullock play all season, capped off by some bad ass, interior rim protection from certified Center, Christian Wood!

From tonight... Start Wood. Make Kemba 6th man. Din and Luka's ability to play 1-3 gives us lots of matchup options. This should be our starting lineup...
PG - Luka
SG - Dinwiddie
SF - DFS
PF - Wood
C - Powell
10 Man Rotation (with my suggested rank at position)...
PG - Luka, Kemba, Dinwiddie
SG - Dinwiddie, Green, THJ, Luka
SF - DFS, Bullock, Luka, THJ
PF - Wood, Kleber. DFS
C - Powell, Wood, Kleber

Good timeout. Starting to show a little fatigue, finally. A liiiiitle too much driving by DFS.

Two outstanding offensive possessions coming out of the time out, but the shots aren’t falling.

DFS at the 5 for a few minutes now. Interesting.

Bullock finally turning that corner! Took 3 months as per usual but better late than never.

McGee had a pretty good first half tonight, imo, but this stretch has been a tough watch.

Good challenge by Wood there. Don’t mind that foul a bit. Super aggressive, with no chance for Mitchell to get an effective shot off. He paid for these free throws with a hard fall.

Something is physically wrong with McGee, conditioning or something.. He is not this bad when he was with Phoenix. Nowadays, 1 minute of running and he is out of it. Combined with his low IQ and its a recipe for disaster.

Idk, man. Looks like the McGee from that playoff series to me. But I hope you’re right. If it’s conditioning, maybe it’ll get better.
