I'm starting to think they aren't playing the rookies because they don't want to win. Subtle tank by vet

Now put Ulis instead of LB/Knight and this 2nd unit is VERY ENJOYABLE

I know I don't post in these much, but damn does Brandon Knight suck.

And what is with these line-ups? I want whatever Watson is smokin' cuz it must be good. At least Bender is playing well. :D

I have seen absolutely nothing from Bender that warrants DNP-CDs. Dude is fantastic on both ends

Nice box out on Plumlee too...someone else got the rebound, but Bender was the reason.

Bender is looking great right now, causing a lot of trouble on defense and hitting his shot.

I Know right, he should be playing every night. He's going to have good and bad nights - but he must get minutes

his natural IQ for the game is of a veteran. skills/body need to catch up but he can be a contributor right now. Chriss as well, for different reasons, which means they both should have regular roles on a developing team such as this. PLAY THE ROOKIES FOR ****'S SAKE

a poor shot from Bender there, a long contested 2 when he should have passed that one.

and the switch on Napier forces a turnover
