Played a nice offensive game last time out. Watson probably told him to try to keep it going.

He missed three shots early, so after that the Clippers just dared him to keep shooting and he kept missing.

Man Bledsoe is just fire this year. He's making shots from everywhere, I think that weight dropped has really benefited him. Hopefully it prolongs his career.

I understand that a bit for development's sake, but man if it was clear he didn't have it going early you don't just keep letting him empty the clip. IMO it's more important to understand how to pick your offensive spots when you don't have it going.

Also, I'm still not seeing any indication that my worst fear isn't taking course - Suns giving plenty of minutes/offensive opportunity to Chriss and not remotely considering it for Bender. Only using him as a floor spacer/parked in the corner half the time with little on-ball action is how you waste a skillset.

Sometimes I wonder if Bledsoe thinks he's Steph Curry.
someone clank, we get a o-reb and he just launches another three very early in the clock.

I always cringe when I see this happening. I don't mind it if maybe it's Booker. But everyone else who does it, it just annoys me.

Anyone else think Bender needs to pick his 3PTA better? Could stand to not shoot so many, especially those quick transition ones.

edit: maybe it's a team directive as there have been a lot of bad quick jumpers
