Standings

How it works

Bled's stat line... jeez.

[bwgood77]

+3 Bledsoe - Solid across the board. Still wish he had gotten the team more involved early, but that can be partially blamed on the rest of the team as well, but super active, efficient, couple of steals, blocks, etc.
+2 Chandler - Extremely solid rebounding game, but also blocked some shots and scored all but one of his buckets
+1 Tucker - This was the best I've seen him play in a long time

Booker misses because it took him too long to get going and overall, just not a real efficient game.

-3 Knight - He looked awful. I keep thinking "well he can't make worse plays than that" and then he just dribbles into three guys and shoots, or even just stops 3 ft out to get what could be a good shot, but I'm not sure how you airball a 3 ft shot.
-2 Chriss - just completely empty stats in his 10 minutes, yet somehow got 5 fouls in that time
-1 Barbosa - doesn't really deserve minutes, especially if he isn't going to do anything but miss shots. I think one good hustle play but that's about it.

I'm going to vote only for Cactus today.

-3 Knight
-2 Chriss
-1 Barbosa

At this stage I'd be transferring my Quese votes to Watson for continuing to start him. Professional tank move/ genuine incompetence.

For me too

+3 Bledsoe: Can't hate on 34-6-6. Can't hate at all.
+2 Booker: Obviously the scoring is nice, but 4 assists to 1 turnover is just as if not more important.
+1 PJ: Gotta throw him a bone when he's not terrible!!

-1 Barbosa: He wasn't great, but he probably doesn't deserve this. Just "meh" games all around, hard to find a -1.
-2 Chriss: Get it under control, my dude.
-3 Knight: His -20 does not surprise me at all. How does he have any trade value at all?

Seeing PJ and Tyson play 38+ minutes each is not chill. I guess I can't really blame Watson as Dragan, Ulis, and Chriss were not good today? I'd give them a longer leash, but I guess that's just me.

+3 Bledsoe: Carried the team throughout the whole night. At times looked like the only one who cares.
+2 Chandler: Efficient on putbacks and cleaning up the boards. Impact on defense was noticable.
+1 Tucker: He had a pretty good outing last night, but we all know that's an anomaly. Still want him gone.

-1 Barbosa: When his shot's not falling he really doesn't have much to offer.
-2 Chriss/Watson: What to say... 5 fouls in 10 mins, tech for mouthing of the bench. Atrocious defense overall. I do believe he needs to work on his temper. Being confident is fine, but Chriss is way too hot-headed for a rookie. I put the partial blame on Watson for continuing to start him, when he has more readier rookie in Bender. Watson continuing to throw Chriss to the wolves might be a confidence crusher for him, especially as he seems to be easily frustrated and discouraged easily, while Bender has more stoic and calmer behaviour on the court, which also suggests he's probably mentally readier.



-3 Knight: I purposely left some blank space between him and 2 other cactuses, just to emphasise on how much he sucks.

[Qwigglez]

+3 for Bledsoe - Nothing can be said that hasn't been said already.
+2 for Chandler - Like his toughness. Veteran leadership cannot be overlooked.
+1 for Booker - The 3rd quarter was fun to watch. Wish he would be more aggressive from the get-go. This can be your team! Need you to step it up.

-3 for Knight - We went on that run in the 3rd, the entire bench was cheering and on their feet. Except Knight. He sat there like a little bitch, looked uninterested, had his hand over his mouth. Looked upset that we were making a comeback without his help. Came into the 4th quarter looking like an angry kid about to lash out. Made dumb play after dumb play offensively and defensively too.
-2 for Knight - Really annoyed me this game.
-1 for LB - Missed shots.
