It feels like he hasn't hit a three since the all star game, but people are sticking to him like glue, he very rarely gets any open threes and he has to force a lot of the ones he does take. The awesome thing is that he is proving he can still be very effective even without his three point shot, once it comes back and he has teammates that can free him up on offense. Watch out.

McD is lowkey celebrating, he prolly told Watson to keep Knight in to increase the odds of the Lakers keeping their pick, and making the trade look less in retrospect. Except it will convey in a better draft class

Why?

Really disappointing that we aren't thinking ahead.

When will we start "resting" guys? The last 3 games? The last game? It might be too late by then.

The NBA won't reward us for playing fair.

Len is sooo bad ,he should be singlehandedly losing us games but he ain't. Watson needs to forcefeed him even more

What the hell were Booker, Clarkson, and Russsel talking about at the end of the game that made them have to cover their mouths like the Gambino crime family? CONSPIRACY! !! D'Angelo and Clarkson trying to get the hell out of dodge and team up with Book?? Has Suns management given Book the green light to recruit??? Actually seemed like a semi serious conversation. The trio seemed pretty tight during the rising stars game.

No, probably talking about which girls they should go hang with after the game.

I try not to think about it. I hope we can pawn him off on some team for a decent return once the cap goes up.

Missed this game but from seeing the boxscore I'm pretty impressed by Bookers numbers. He didn't shoot well but found his way to the line going 10/10. Also, had 7 assists and 5 rebounds as well. Len had a tough game but he'll bounce back I'm just glad he's finally getting enough playing time. Overall, not a bad night as we got a loss and still remain a game back of Brooklyn for 3rd in the draft

You were looking for some good porn sites at the end of the game, right? :lol:
