In the playoffs he was chasing guys around the perimeter and playing full court press against CP3 and Curry. A few month later he cannot stay in front of random 3rd string guards.
Thats what i meant. His defensive decline is the bigger problem than his shooting going forward.
He is playing nearly 30 min a night. And he went from a good to great point of attack NBA defender to an average or below average defender. I am not even sure if you can say with full confidence that Bullock has been better on defense than THJ.
The way he is playing more or less the entire season, i am seriously wondering what the Mavs record could have been, if Bullock would rack up DNP's with McGee. And Kidd was forced to play Green 10-15 min more, Frank 10 min off the bench and maybe 5 min here and there for Hardy.
