Westbrook might miss 30 shots before this game ends and he doesn't care. Let's see if he rests at all.

Jeremy Lin with 21/9/9. Going Linsanity mode I guess.

Even when Knight mostly plays well, he just does some things that are SO infuriating. There was NO lane to drive there. That was just a "throw it up with my eyes closed and hope it goes in" shot.

What is Knight doing? Dribbles for twenty seconds and loses the ball at the end of the third quarter and takes wild, out of control shots to start the fourth. And it would be nice if Len would provide any kind of of interior defense.

I think the problem with Alex is he's trying to go from being Zaza Pachulia to Hakeem Olajuwan in one motion. We don't need him to be Hakeem, we just need him to be a young Tyson Chandler. I'd even settle for a Dalembert type.

But instead, we're ISOing him in the post, asking him to be a focal point... Way more than we are asking of Chandler even. I just think that if he's learning from Tyson, perhaps we should be using him in a similar way. Let him roll, let him be a role player. The rest will come.

Pistons won big on the backs of Mook and Leuer.

I don't like that the few minutes Bender gets is basically just him running up and down the court and standing in the corner. If you're going to play him, at least utilize his best skill.

I love Eric Bledsoe. I still thinks he's our PG for the future.

Nice footwork by Bledsoe (his shot/passing is waaaaaay off tonight tho)

I've noticed Bender making play(s) in the first half but to be fair, I doubt we are going to run any kind of play for him in the 4th quarter. We are bringing him along slowly. Eventually he'll get his as the season goes on. All the players are still getting acclimated with each other so we'll figure out everyone tendencies soon.
