The combination played 29 minutes per game. What happened in the remaining 19 minutes? Looking at the lineup data the Mavs are still in the game when two of them are on the floor. Mavs lost the series when two or more of them were on the bench.
I really hope that the addition of Bullock gives the Mavs another capable and versatile "matchup-proof" wing.
That´s a great observation. We knew we were short on good wings. Bullock might be a more important add than we realise yet.

I guess this is pointed to KP. But the reality is: every player can be made a liability on the defensive end. As long as your offensive impact is great enough it doesn´t really matter.
The clutch defense is another beast and I believe a team with KP can turn it up in the half court. If we f*ck it up at the offensive end, there is no cure on defense.
