Cant even fault Chriss but KAT is damn near unguardable when he doesn't get the double

Like what I see from Chriss. Think Bender should be starting now till TJ is ready as well.

He was pretty good in the last game.

He did his damage in the 3rd, when we were down 20 in a dead game. He seems to enjoy playing at Summer League pace.

Honestly I don't even enjoy being a Devin Booker hater but I feel like it's the only way to give some insight into how much heat BK gets.

Im sorry Bknight is getting how much money? Cant compare the two.

Towns is really really really good. Partly because he is good and partly because there just aren't that many legit centers in this league anymore. Combo of both I think. Especially this early in his career to be this good at such a physical position

Quese's effort ebbs and flows but on the whole he's looked better these last few games.

Knight deserves the hate. He makes the entire team worse when he is on the court. Booker might struggle lately but not at the detriment of other players on the floor with him. Knight is by the far biggest negative on the court in the league, especially for the amount of minutes he continuously gets.

I'm comparing their play, that's it.

Why has it taken so long to put Chandler on towns? I mean seriously how can Watson think chriss on towns is a good matchup for us?

Because as Watson said "Chriss' goal should be DPOY". He actually said this as if that's a reasonable goal.

Knight has to be the primary ball handler when he plays, so of course his impact is going to be greater either way.

I'd absolutely love to see Book and Knight swap roles. Ulis runs the second unit with Book, Knight plays off ball with Bled. It's no secret our offense is very bad when BK runs it.

Towns should have gotten called for a 5 seconds to the basket call

Who's coaching our guys on running fast breaks? They're always jumbled together.

OR just have Knight be gone. Ulis with Barbosa is better than Knight in the starting lineup.

Apparently committing flagrant fouls is protecting your team mate and Watson has no problems with that.
