Finally taking notice after saying he sucks.

took him long enough.

almost like playing Bender at SF and parking him in a corner was a terrible idea!

welcome to the train, everybody.

Booker under Triano:

25 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 48% FG.

2 assists away from being an efficient 25-5-5.

Went a bit more off the dribble in the 2nd half and missed a few.

Bender was big!!!!! TJ showed he should start....Booker took over and deferred when necessary. Len was good as well. JJ ability is off the charts..... gotta learn the pro game and get a shot. James and Booker are good together. Chriss is........

Bender has really impressed me so far this season. I think he will end up being the Suns PF. Not sure where that would leave Chriss.

What's not to like in this game: 18Ast to 18TOs and way too many isos but I hope it changes over time. Booker's hero ball, he tends to force things too often. And Quese, he looks like he regressed over the summer.
But I'll take a W ;-)

Damn, Dragan is really impressive this year. Showing something new every game.

I like him off the bench, but he should be the closer at 4. Intangibles are a big part of the end game and Dragan certainly has it. That 3 pointer from a Mike James assist was BIG.

Bender season averaging 36% from 3 and has 6 blocks in the past 3 games.

Also drove to the rim a couple of times when they closed out.

Could still be a Kirilenko type, I think it's only a matter of time before he starts.

Bender looking more and more confident out there each game. His defense has been excellent, he's shooting with confidence, he's making good passes, and he's even starting to dribble a bit. He's even rebounding better than Chriss has been this season. He could definitely work towards a starting role sooner than later if he keeps this up.

What was so special about bender tonight?(didn't watch the game.)

Mulhollanddrive · Post #191 » by **Mulhollanddrive** » Wed Nov 1, 2017 2:11 am

Bender has a reputation as a good +/- guy and he was +20 today.

Is Warren the weirdest player on our team? The guy does literally nothing in the first half after getting into foul trouble then somehow turns it up in the 2nd half to finish with a very efficient 20/11?

Why did you ask for a stream that you could have googled yourself if you weren't even going to watch it.

BENDER SAVED A KITTEN FROM A **** TREE. AND THEN JUMPED IN FRONT OF A CAR TO SAVE A PUPPY.

Great defense all game, took defenders off the dribble, hit a clutch 3 and clutch switch out D on DLo at the end. Overall just a fantastic game for the guy. He shown more this game than I think I've ever seen in any single game he's played. He just looked confident out there

Plus he didn't make any knucklehead plays like Chriss and Jackson did.

Including today's game Booker's at 26/6/4.5 on .48FG% and 50% from the 3. This is in less than 33mpg.

Played within himself. Chriss still looks lost as to where he's suppose to be a lot of the time which limits his production and he's pretty much relying still a lot on his athleticism. Similarly Jackson tries to do too much. When he goes iso, I kinda cringe because I still feel like his handles are shaky and his finishing ability isn't where it needs to be.

Ok some positives and negatives after the game;

* We are 3-1 with Triano *yay* If we could beat Wizards tomorrow i will be so f***g happy.

* Bender is amazing, man of the match for me. I gotta admit, yeah i did kinda lost faith in his abilities after poor performances in Eurocup and Summer League but he is playing best basketball of his career. His versality on defence was always there since day one but he started hitting 3s and attack the rim when his man defends him close. I hope he keep this up and improve every year.

* I know that most of you guys don't like Mike James but he is an amazing surprise for us this season. With all this drama about Bledsoe his positive play is really helping us. I also hate when he is making stupid mistakes but we should give him a chance, he can get hot quickly and he is not chucking badly as much as Bledsoe and Knight.

* If i have to grade Booker after the game i would give him both +3 and -3. I believe that he is going to become an all-star and i love his game but he is so much better when he is just doing the right plays. His basketball iq and feel for the game is too good for just being an iso player. His defence is much better this season and he looks more composed which i love it.

* I was really disappointed with Jackson this game. Nets players got into his head easily. If he continues to act like that he will be a target for every team. I love his passion but forcing things is not going to help him. I think he might be feeling a little bit pressure because of other rookies playing better than him but he shouldn't be a go to guy for us right now. Just hit the open three, use off-ball cuts to score easily and play smart. He can score,pass and defend and sky is the limit for him but he was looking like Archie Goodwin today which gave me headache.

* Our defence wasn't good today but i love the effort it is still so much better than the "Watson era"

* I don't want to be that guy but I really hate Chriss. Can we trade him with Bledsoe pls.

* Oh i almost forgot Warren. He pretty much won us the game. He is type of a player who would play terrible whole game then get hot and score 20 in a quarter.He is our 2nd best scorer and he should help Booker more consistently, I hope this game gets him into rhythm.
