Easy one for me

+3 Len - HUGE game from him. No Chandler, no other center, 16, 14, 3 stls, a block, ZERO turnovers on 70% shooting. If he can do that somewhat consistently, he could be our C of the future.
+2 Bledsoe - Bad start with 5 turnovers, but super huge down the end, a bunch of rebounds, but was big scoring down the stretch to preserve the win
+1 Dudley - Got us in the game and lead early to give us confidence after being down 11...without that we may never have had the confidence to come back.

+3 Len - Played great. Didn't see anything new this game, he just worked hard and played with confidence. Completely took Drummond out of the game.
+2 for Bledsoe - Another great 4th quarter. He's been doing a good job playing QB for us, not the best, but certainly not the worst.
+1 for Dudley - Would have placed higher but Bledsoe took over in the 4th when we needed it most. Dudley made an all around great effort across the game.

Considerations to Tucker who also played with hustle. Knight didn't overly piss me off this game too so good job there. Thought LB played a role too.

[Saberestar]

+3 Bledsoe. He played a perfect second half, he dominated Ish Smith and Udrih easily all game long. The last few games he has played like last season, in All Star form.

+2 Dudley. Tremendous game, he made four threes and was really good defensively. Hopefully he continues shooting like tonight, we need him to open lines to the rim.

+1 Len. What a fantastic surprise, he played a very good game. I would love to see always this type of concentration and focus on both sides of the floor.

Thank you for hosting the +/- It's great reading everyone's opinions.

Easy call tonight. The only tough part is trying to justify why any of these 3 don't get top billing.

We are learning how to win games in the 4th quarter. All of the games so far this year have been fun IMO, except the Kings game. We got blown out in the 2nd half against the Clippers but the 1st half we played well. We have managed to come from behind several times this year (Lakers/Blazers) which shows me that we are capable of making stops and creating on offense. If we can just put it all together I think we scrap together some wins.

+3 - Bledsoe - One of his more complete games of the season. Shot well, rebounded, made great plays and was lethal in the clutch, 2nd game in a row
+2 Len- The guy brought his big boy pants to the court tonight. Limited Drummond to the best of his abilities and grabbed 16rebs
+1 Dudley - 19 pts from his first game off the bench. Did a bit of everything.

Honorouble mention
Booker - Still doing too much standing but you can see he's trying to not look for his shot as much and trying to play more in the flow of the game.
Watson - Starting Chriss and giving Bender minutes to find his stroke is a great move. Neither players are going to come in and do work right away but it's a great start. Next up, Ulis.

I agree. We can fill the W column quite a bit if we stay engaged on the defensive end. I feel like they are commited. Lot of streaky shooting which makes me nervous. Hope we keep developing our young guys. We have a lot of pieces for the future and can still win games now.

Went to the game tonight, it was nice to see us pull out a W. I didn't feel like anyone had a really bad game

+3 Alex Len: One of the best games from him I've seen. He did a very good job contesting on defense and was able to put the ball in the bucket around the rim. If he could just be consistent with this level of play, then I'd feel comfortable keeping him around and paying him
+2 Eric Bledsoe: He made a lot of dumb turnovers, but overall he played a solid all around game. He definitely was reliable to close the game out for us.
+1 Jared Dudley: The reason we were even in the game in the 1st half. Shot the ball well and made an impact on defense.

Honorable mention to Knight and Warren for both playing a solid game.

[batsmasher]

I also think Earl deserves an honorable mention for tonight. The lineup in the second quarter worked really well. We didn't overuse Book. Knight wasn't the center of attention when he was in the game.

Would like to see more of BK with the Dudley/Bender/PJ combo.

I would give Bledsoe, Len and Dudley +3 if I can. Hard to grade them but I will give them:

+3 to Len (for incentive)
+2 to Dudley
+1 to Bled (turnovers)
