Lets not forget though that we won this game because Knight was out

Very hard when you two of three games. Would love for it to happen though.

I don't really think PotW cares about wins though. Unlike MVP

They do care about wins. They always mention the team record when announcing the winner.

Booker is GAWD. Was also really awesome to see Bender out there for big minutes in the 4th.

Nope. Except for that weird defensive basket interference call that the announcers said was offensive. That was odd.

Was thinking of calling off work tonight but seeing how we won and the Seahawks lost makes me believe tonight will be a good night.

Clearly we've found the solution to Booker's efficiency problem. Relocate the team to Mexico City.

Great game and nice win.

Booker is already a tremendous player, if he becomes a better defender he is gonna be a perennial All Star . We have found gold.

How beautiful was this game without Knight. At this point I hate him, I just can not watch him anymore. Hopefully he is traded ASAP.

Bledsoe/Ulis played a solid game at PG. They scored the ball when needed.

Bender and Tucker defended well in the second half. Really happy for Bender.

Well,well,well once again Brandon Knight didn't play and the Suns win. Do the math Mr.Watson, do the Math.

Not about the math here, it's about getting value for Knight. Gotta play em so we can trade em!

I doesn't matter how many times he plays, the fact of the matter is his stock has fallen and at this point only the Nets or the Sixers may want him and they are not going offer much for Knight.

The more we play him, the less he is worth. Catch 22.

ALWAYS!! Especially when it's he and Myers Drysdale. Atleast when it's he and Eddy, we have one sober competent announcer. What's up with Popovich making a beeline to Dudley after the game for a chat!?!? HANDS OFF BUDDY!!!

Of note...Bledsoe with 10 assists. Difference maker in the game even when he was not scoring efficiently today. 17/10/6

Rewatching the game. And I gotta say I think Bender has likely the best form for a 7 footer when shooting threes. His mechanics are just on point.

A couple of things...
I liked the unit that Watson kept in most of the 4th quarter. Ulis took advantage of the opportunity as well as Bender.
I don't understand how you guys were so collected watching the end of the game. A bunch of bad whistles. Why did we end up with 30 fouls but the Spurs had 18 only? Spurs got away with a lot and that bad call where Chandler got called for offensive goaltending when it was clearly out of the cylinder.
Oh, and eff the Spurs. Hate em. They flop, and probably got the three biggest floppers with Parker/Ginobli/Pau.

So was there any advice on why Knight didn't get any burn? Was he injured? Trade rumour? Or have we finally realised that he sucks?
