Horrible win by us imo. Dropped from 2nd to 7th in the tankathon. It's pretty funny how when Watson is forced to play the younger players, we suddenly win.

I'm not suggesting there's any connection but we're 2-7 when Ulis plays and we're 2-9 when Bender plays. Of course, that includes garbage time and the games where they've just logged a few minutes but I don't think playing them right now is the recipe for winning games today. It's essential for our future and I think we'll be far better off once they get to make their mistakes but I don't expect them to be the solution to our immediate problems.

You can't look at records that way because those guys barely played in the games where those losses occurred for the most part. In fact, they are most likely to come in under Watson when we are getting blown out.
