Alex is being so aggressive tonight. Love seeing that

Bench has 27 more points than Knight on only 4 more shots.

Hack a Len is a very stupid strategy for opposing teams.

Cherry 7 up and vodka reminds me of when I used to get trashed off cough syrup.

Why is Knight in the game? He is 0/9 right now.

Bledsoe needs to stop leaving his feet to pass.

Bledsoe has really improved his midrange jumper since last year.

Holy **** Eric great three point play and stoic walk off.

I just looked at the box score for the first time and was pretty shocked to see Knight had 8 assists. Between him and Bledsoe, they have 13 assists and only 1 turnover. That's easily their best this season so far. It still feels like they dribble too much.

EBled is always stoic. I also love the fact that when he is fouled and slammed to the floor he jumps right up and walks off as if it didn't bother him at all.

Okay now that the Warriors game is over I can post about how irritated I was that Len posted up about 4-5 times and was isolated against Vonleh and Bledsoe told him to clear out. Super frustrating to me. I like that they have been feeding Len on the pick and roll, but he needs some experience posting up and scoring.
Also, Knight is 0-8, but at least he contributed 8 assist so far.

I just looked at that myself. Knight has been passing this game. A couple of his assists have been unintentional though. Not penetrating to kick just got stuck and just so happened we hit the shot. The more I see of knight the more I want Bledsoe to stay to pair with Booker in the backcourt.

I don't want an injury to Knight but I'd love to see Booker start.
Maybe we can do a Bled/Booker/Warren/Leuer/Len and have Knight be the spark plug off the bench with Tucker the defensive specialist off the bench as well.

Actually listening to the Blazers broadcast isn't too bad. They aren't at all bias and their halftime show is pretty good too.

Our fans are so fickle. Knight has put up some absolute monster games this year and people now want him benched. If you want to start Booker fine, but the obvious move is to play Booker at the 3 over Tucker, not to sit the guy who has gone 36/15/10 this year.

Just sat down to watch the Suns game. What did I miss?

BTW, great hearing how Booker is 17/23 from the arc in his rookie season that's just mind-boggling.

I don't want to bench Knight because he's playing terrible. I just want to run a more traditional lineup with Booker at the 2. Plus, I think Knight can still produce coming off the bench. Also, I don't want to bench Knight for the rest of the season, I just want to see how well we play with a starting backcourt of Bled/Booker.
