[batsmasher]

Standings

How it works

Actually a pretty good effort despite the 20 point margin.

[kennydorglas]

+3 Book: Great all-around statline (minus the FG%)
+2 Warren: Welcome back, TJ. We missed you badly
+1 Len: Very efficient, played more minutes than Chandler.

-1 Watson: We need to keep chasing playoffs
-2 Duds: weird game, pretty much everyone played ok
-3 Barbosa: missed everything

I only watched the last 20 minutes, so I won't post mine, but I expect Book to get every +3 based solely on that dunk.

[Saberestar]

+3 Booker.
+2 Warren
+1 Tucker

-3 Chandler
-2 Barbosa
-1 Dudley

Remember, if enough people abstain from Cactus voting I won't give the votes out.

+3 for Booker - He didn't force anything and I think he is capable of this kind of stat line more consistently. I would like for him to shoot maybe 7 threes a game though. I think that would open up the floor more for him and his teammates.
+2 for Warren - Finally getting that rust off. Looked great out there, he did miss a few of his bunny shots but he can't hit em all. Still pretty impressive for him to shoot above 50%. Need him to get some FT attempts though.
+1 for Len - Looked amazing defensively. His offense I'm really not too worried about and I haven't seen all the long two's as much recently so that's a plus IMO.

-1 for Bledsoe - I felt like he took this game off. He had 16 points but he got like 5 in the last 6-7 minutes of the game when it was already a blow out. He needs to stay aggressive every game.
-2 for Knight - He played better than usual but I still recall two plays where I wanted to pull my hair out. 1.) Stole the ball, took it up the court and bricked. Perhaps pass the ball next time? 2.) 2 on 5 fastbreak, how about wait for your teammates instead of taking a fade away two.
-3 for Bender - He went plus 3 for the game but he literally had no stats. Alan Williams got the offensive rebound and Bender went walking back to the other side of the court already. Pay attention to the game man! In all seriousness I don't feel like anyone deserved a minus 3, the Rockets are just a better team. But I'll give it to Watson for somewhat questionable rotations.

+3 Warren - My man!
+2 Booker - This should have been a +3, but he just wasn't playing hard enough early in the game and gave up some points on defense.
+1 Len - Was certainly the better of our two centers tonight. Alex had an easier time getting blocks with all the spread in Houston's offense.
HM Knight - If he played every night like that, I'd be happy. I'd trade Bledsoe instead.

-1 Chandler - A non-factor tonight
[That's it.]

-3 votes for Qwigglez. He's been posting great for most of the night but this post makes me want to pull my hair out. As such, you are the worst poster on here tonight, sorry.

+3 Book. Don't actually care about the FG%, he looked way better than he has.
+2 TJ. Welcome back, your floaters were missed.
+1 BK. Much better out of the gate and played well defensively. Could have gone to a few guys here but I think BK had a more consistent 4 quarter showing.

HM: Len. Shaky start but got going defensively. Kept it simple.
Bled. Didn't try to do too much tonight and only put up 13FGA.

DM: Chandler. Couldn't get a stop.

+3 Booker: I hope all the dunks this game means he's feeling a little better. 4 dunks in a game by Booker and one of them being nasty? That doesn't happen too often. He had some nice passes and a good stat line aside from his FG%. I hope all this losing isn't getting to him though. He looked mad at the end of that game.
+2 Len: Went 4-5 from the field. Had 4 blocks and a steal. He was the only one with any significant minutes to have a + in +/- for the team.
+1 Warren: So good to see Warren starting to act like Warren again. We missed you TJ.

Honorable mention: Brandon Knight. 2 decent games in a row by night. Hopefully other GM's are starting to notice.

[PackSuns]

+3 Booker. Loved how he played. He did great things besides scoring. I believe he had only 1 turnover which is great because of how high his usage was.
+2 Tony Buckets
+1 Len.

Don't think too many guys played poorly even though we lost by 20.

I agree with this. Not sure what happened to the rebounds for Chandler, but that obviously would have helped. So could the same for my votes.

Final.
