Bring in the tank commander.... dammit....

if we're strictly looking at FGA/offensive production, seems like Bender just needs to touch the ball within the flow of the offense more regularly. Helps his confidence and rhythm. too often possessions end very quickly with a shot after one action and the guys who the actions aren't run for are forgotten about.

still need to see more fight/better positioning for rebounds/defensive impact, so, basically bigman stuff. it's not really there at all. Seems to be playing more C going forward, will need to improve on those things. also seems very focused on late switching all PnRs, even when it's not the right call.

small nitpick, he really needs to stop running back on defense so early, seems to abandon the offensive possession when he could probably fight for an OREB and still get back in time.

I've been a big fan of Benders but damn. Frsnk just madenhime look like a joke. 2 points. Wtf?

Sometimes all it takes is some constructive criticism. Lol

Bender about to cancel the tank with his play. Loving him today but he might cause us to win.

Yeahhhh, only three down. The guys are working hard in this game, way better than expected.

Bender at C always better than at PF.

OMG please win this game now

Lighting it up in the 4th. Good to see some aggressiveness and positivity our of Bender - shooting, driving, grabbing the rebound and pushing it...

[thamadkant]

Bender needs to have a "I'll look for my offense this play since defense is focused on someone else" mentality... not the "I'm so happy to be getting minutes yay" mentality.

as it is... Players dont tank...

coach and GM can... but players play to compete and show what they have..

[Thespianoid]

we've already seen how some involvement offensively has upped Bender's confidence. Rebounding, pushing in transition. Taking Dwight off the dribble. Posting the smaller man after a switch.

Payton's a good player that just needs a good hair cut and more practice shooting 3s.

[DaleyBlind]

Batam you scrub, what a lucky shot lol

[CalOrl11]

FFS couldn't you just win

[bwgood77]

I like it...Bender trying to be aggressive and helping the tank at the same time when things got too close for comfort....just kick the ball out of bounds.

But seriously, this is the most aggressive Bender has been...after that time with Ulis his confidence got back up to where it was weeks ago prior to (and right after) getting Payton.

Love Payton coming in and taking it to the rack. Wasn't a fan of his 3 attempt though...if you're not taking it to the rack get it back in to the hot hands of Bender, Reed or Daniels that got us back in it

[rcc8884]

Us being close with or best three players out shows how bad the hornets are

No, Booker, Warren and Jackson and it's probably one of our best, if not the best, shooting games of the season. 60% from 3 on 30 attempts, and over 51% overall.

Bender becoming less soft....banging around with Marvin earlier...bloodied him up...now banging with Howard...not backing down from people.
