Nice run, especially with Jackson taking a breather.

It's the most information any of us have had in months.

And the answer is, if we can't move him, we will make him compete for minutes on this roster. McD playing this hand strong. It's probably smart.

That was a nice little 8-0 stretch. Guys really going after those blocks.

I guess Bender will eventually have to be more of a scoring threat, so that post fade is nice to have in the arsenal.

But it's not a highly efficient look and not really where you want him to get his offense

Good to see some fight from him on the boards in traffic with that OREB putback. Usually not quite there.


You being a UCSB guy, I take it you saw a lot of Alan Williams in college? I take it you are a fan of him too?

Brent Barry would make a good coach if he ever wanted to be. Having listened to him through the years his basketball philosophies/priorities are unparalleled IMO.

For some reason the way the announcer was so serious about talking about that bronze statue had me in stitches.

I did, and of course, gotta cheer for any Gaucho in the NBA 8-)

Jackson just slipped to the floor twice. On defense, he got back to challenge the shot (not a good challenge, but still). On offense, he kept his dribble and got the foul called on the defender.

They just put DB at the line to shoot the extra FT...

Bender with one too many dribbles before trying to get the ball to James for the 3

Love Brent Barry.. would be a MAX player today, maybe Gordon Hayward-esque but with better dunking ability

Bender with the long range.. If he could be a 40% 3pt shooter with over 1.5 a game made.. that would be great? LOL
