Love the effort from the guys tonight and if they keep this up they're definitely going places.

How about Bender and JJ finish out the close games... I mean everyone deserves a chance, and these two played good tonight.

Only way to learn is through experience. Not too salty about this game though, we played tough. :D

Need to work on plays to get Booker open for shots at the end of games without him having to ISO.

I'd like to see us closing games with Len on the floor instead of Chandler. At this point I feel like Len does just as well on defense and positioning than Chandler.

Wait. Is Leander back as commentator for the season? I used to hate him but he wasn't bad tonight.

Chriss might be the worst rebounding forward I've ever seen. Dan Langhi was a better rebounder.

Loving how Booker's all round game is progressing as well as how we use him.

He's never played with a PG who can hit the 3 and open the offense up further.

Jackson with 3 steals and 6 rebounds and 3/4 from the line.

Milwaukee needs to stop being stingy with Brogdon.

Good game, guys played hard, lots to learn from, but still competitive. When is Reed coming back? Will be so much more fun to watch with Reed and Wiliams back in the line up

I would try and up an offer to Milwaukee to pry Brogdon from them.

Brogdon/Monroe/Tele for Bledsoe/Chandler/3 2nd round picks. We have enough young players and draft picks. Rather give up 2nd rounders and get a known commodity in return while shedding Bled and Chandler. Chandler is done. If Williams wasn't injured still, Chandler would be useless to the team. I get the vet thing, but I think Dudley is enough wise old vet for the team. Len is outplaying Chandler on the reg.

Even though Daniels was bad tonight, he is a great 3 pt shooter on his career and I think their biggest hesitation to trade Brogdon might be because he is a great shooter and they need those around Giannis. As much as I'd rather keep Daniels because we desperately need good 3 pt shooting as well, maybe throwing him in there would help.

Sure. I would do that.

Bled, Tyson and Daniels for Brogdon, Monroe, and Telly works. Do not want Telly, but got to even out the trade numbers.

Love the effort , Portland is annoying tho, good team but will never get out of the West , stuck in a treadmill. At least we can build through lotto.

I disagree.. I think he was decent on D tonight. CJ is just one tough guy to guard.

I can't believe how much Booker improved himself in only one summer period. Like we were saying he should be either all-around or better defender. Then he became both :o

These are the games that I'm okay to lose, love the effort. They're fun to watch again.

Good effort and they played pretty well. The execution and shot making down the stretch wasn't great but thats common with young teams.

Great game by bookers and bender is coming around which is great to see.
