Ayton made it quite a bit harder on JV. Bender just bent over for him.

Bender shown his charmin' tissue soft ways for too long. Glad we declined his team option for next season. What a con artist.

Well he didn't look like he was going for 50 at the end...getting a couple of assists in the last couple minutes and possessions.

Bender kind of set up to fail. should not be asked to guard to Val, he needs to stick to guarding 4s and small 5s

Other than booker and Bridges I hope to never see the rest of that crew that played down the stretch here next year.

Yeah Ayton was a +7 when he was in, and JV was only a +2. Mostly against Bender...

Bender looked like a child, it’s pathetic how soft he plays.

I’m also kinda shocked Booker didn’t try and get 50 more aggressively

Wonder if this is the most 150+ pt efficient stretch ever from a guard

The funny thing is that Ayton got cooked by majority of the centers this year and people here still praise him. Guess what guys Bender got cooked yes but he's still a better defender than Ayton

Book has passed KD and jumped to 8th in ppg leaders. .1 ppg behind Kawhi for 7th place.

Why the **** did Jamal Crawford play like... 36 minutes straight? I don't think he came out from the 2nd quarter until the end of the game. Not surprising the Suns gave up their lead and ended up losing. Also, Booker could have easily had 50+ tonight, but he stopped trying for it about halfway through the 4th. He passed and should have had about 17 or 18 assists if he was playing with average NBA talent.

Bender was severely outweighed as he's probably only around 220lbs vs Val's 250+ so you can't really blame Bender here for being weak.
Having said that one concern about Bender that I had when we drafted him was him being able to put on weight as his brother was also not very big either so maybe he's just one of those people that can't get bulky?
