Game 8: Phoenix Suns at Washington Wizards, November 1st, 4:00 PM, PT

Season stats:

Warren 18-6 on 55/22/74
Booker 22-5-4 on 47/41/87

Pushing for All-Star.

Booker has been playing much more efficiently these past few games. It doesn't seem like he is forcing the issue as much.

TJ found his game since Watson got the boot

I'd say the same for Bender. We were down 22 after the 1st, imagine if Watson was still coached we'd have lost by 40 again!

JJ should be starting over TJ ... forgot about people hollering all the time for that one too.

I still believe that JJ should start over TJ not because TJ is bad but because he brings scoring to the bench which needs it.

LMAO.

Warren finally shows up and look at you go!

No, No, ... go back and search my posts (since you can) and you will see always TJ starting over JJ and don't trade TJ. Always !!

Not saying we are going to make the playoffs, but if we are a top 8 Western Conference team by end of January I don't see why these guys aren't considered for the all-star game.

My god, never in my life did I expect to win this when we were down like 20 in the 1st quarter.

TJ Warren, what more can you say? Dude get buckets in his sleep.

They decided to take Booker away by trapping him every time, but he still had a solid game with 22 and 5 dimes on 15 shot attempts.

Mike James didn't have a good shooting game at all, but I thought he was great down the stretch.

Marquese Chriss and Dragan Bender were both solid. Quese with 9/10/4/2/1 in 25 mins. Bender with 8/5 in 24 minutes.

Overall what an awesome win. Back to .500 baby!

This must be one of 5 posters Warren has ever done. And afterwards, still no emotions. Need Kerrsed to photoshop Warren looking like an emo highschooler.

What was interesting down the stretch was it looked like we were running Watson plays isolating for Booker with everyone standing around, except when he drove he knew he was going to pass it out so he allowed the defense to collapse, Warren was left 10 feet open for the corner 3.

[SunZel]

Poor TJ..Now the reporters are going to bother him again and he hates talking lol...

[Mulhollanddrive]

Warren beat his career high by 10 points, benefitted from extra attention on Booker with some extra space and 1 on 1.

We only have 2 good 3 point shooters if we can get more he's going to be able to get into his areas more often.

Just finished watching

What a great competitive game! Warren follows up a 20/11 performance with a 40/10 performance. Yeah $12m a year is overpay GTFO.

There were a ton of bright spots in this game and I think Booker's maturity and leadership has really shown this season. No longer is he forced to iso, he's actually using that reputation as an iso player to his advantage at drawing defensive attention and setting up team mates. Even though he was shooting very well, he still deferred to the hotter hand and used the defensive attention on him to our advantage. There was a play towards the end of the game where Booker drove in and instead of trying to finish like he would've under Watson's iso schemes, he passed it out to the WIDE open hot hand in TJ. That's maturity and unselfishness.

TJ is just one of those rare players who just has an amazing awareness of his surroundings. He knows where he needs to be, where and when to cut or stay out in the perimeter. Oubre was doing his best to stick onto TJ but his unorthodox on court movement got Oubre stuck in no man's land a few times.

I know they will say they were missing Porter. But we were also missing Bledsoe!

Amirite?!

And Knight! Ok...oversold it..

I wouldn't say we were missing bledsoe

This is not how this works...

The team collectively is freeing him from his man and finding him in good spots. That's what good team basketball should be and we're finally playing that. Under Watson, I couldn't count how many of Booker's possessions were forced iso possessions now he's being more selective with them and he's being smarter with how he uses them. He's just so much more fun to watch now
