I thought Powell was fine but the lineup when he was the only big is not a strong defensive lineup. I may be not remembering correctly though.
That was a really funky lineup. Burke/Brunson-THJ-Bullock-DFS-Powell. I was somewhat confused when it appeared. With Burke in the unit, they were -2. With Brunson, -3. In approximately 3 minutes. Agree that these combinations are not exactly defensive stalwarts.

Although, tbf, I don't think Kidd really believed that CP3 didn't know how to break a zone. I think he was just desperately throwing whatever he could think of at the wall and hoping something would stick.
