He's set up Williams so well a couple of times Williams ends up getting fouled. Wish they tracked assists for those types of plays.

Anne is trying to make it sound like bender's lob pass to Williams was an accident.

The age and collective skill of our lineup right now is a beautiful thing.

More like perfect placement. Bender should have like 6 assists right now.

Agreed, that was a great pass

A consistent issue I've seen with Bender is how he settles for 3's a bit too often, especially as he's not really a great shooter at this stage.

Probably could have swung it to Chriss or drove that last one, sorta like how he created for Williams before on drop off passes. Get a pierce of the defense, draw attention, use that vision.

What a defensive battle we have going here.

Booker gonna Book. Just passed Kobe on the list for points before age 21. Pretty remarkable considering Kobe came straight out of high school.

It's like he sets his mind to take that shot and don't change it no matter what.

Also I can feel that he is nervous and trying hard to prove himself.

I think in the last game the Mavs were beating the Spurs by around double digits at halftime and then any regular starters stopped playing minutes after that (or played very few) so they ended up losing against a Spurs team who was resting their players as well.

So it wouldn't surprise me if Dirk, Noel and Matthews didn't play much the rest of the way.

Most points between the two, that is. He still trails LeBron by a long shot, and I think Melo and maybe another.

Correct. Poor wording by me. I think the other might be Durant.

Warren and Booker playing really well. Ulis passing the ball like a maestro.

We need to be better on defense, Booker needs to get better at that this summer badly.

Biggest surprise of the season?
