9&7 for Lex so far
Booker is looking like a role player and not even trying to score.

It all started after Watson's statement saying he's our second option after Kieff. Well, he's on top of scouting reports now.

I don't think we've scored 50 in a half against the Spurs in a while. Not many teams do that.

Yup that and the 3 pt competition didn't help either.

He needs to stay aggressive and confident and look for his shot. its hard for him cause there is literally no other offensive option to take the pressure off of him.

Also, although very unselfish, Booker isn't quite the passer to get the ball out of a double team on the pick and roll. What I've seen here as well as vs Houston is on pick and rolls, the defense sends both defenders to double Booker high and force it out of hands. Booker doesn't turn it over often in those situations, but he also isn't a good enough passer to get it through to the roll man. An improvement in that area is possible, and could make him that much harder to defend.

Off topic- Patty mills is one of my favorite NBA players.

Probably just pissed Ronnie Price is starting in front of him. But you know, it's important, because we really need to find out what we have in Price.

I'll take Archie's side here. He's getting benched for Ronnie Price. They're letting d-league scrubs handle the ball instead of him.

Archie certainly isn't an amazing NBA player, but he is an NBA player. The Suns are letting scrubs run the show instead of him and it makes no sense.

My take is Goodwin is only contracted 1 more season, 2015-2016.
He is getting paid just over 1 million dollars.

The team is SO bad, that I think his agent or even McD has told him to “take care” of himself out there.
He plays so dynamic and aggressive offensively that, an awkward landing or bump can or may lead to an injury.

He has shown ENOUGH, that when he tries and when playing hard, that he will make an impact and can go toe to toe with the Lowry’s, Westbrook’s etc.

I think he is on a “preservation” mode… maybe on 3rd or 4th gear… enough energy to produce, but careful as well.

Booker, Len, Warren are getting paid three times as much as he does… so, you have to consider, that an injury can impact his life-style and financial security very easily.

Amazing what happens to the offense when Archie isn't running the show lol

Alex having a monster game. I know he's inconsistent but he can be at least a rotation big for us moving forward.

Why is Leuer playing so little? What's the point in Humphries playing so much?

I like Len.. I like him a lot right now. Keep playing like you're playing today. Please.

I like our offense. Booker made a couple of nice passes after seeing the big man hedging to him.

Watson wants a job..Humphries has had a better presence on the court in his 2 games than almost anyone on the team.

Him and Leuer have the same # of boards and Humphries has 4x as many minutes. I guess we do have the option of keeping him next year though, so that could be a reason.
