miscommunication. Bender came out to cover Teague as Canaan was stuck on the screen, Canaan never told him to get back to Taj

Bender's gonna have to start mixing it up in pick and roll/pop scenarios. I don't mind that he's looking for his 3, but he's had a few times where he'd have an open lane to the paint if he'd just roll instead of popping, realizing he should roll, then cutting.

was gonna post this. he pops almost exclusively right now and a few times had he rolled the pocket pass would have been available.

because the Suns aren't great on the X's/O's front getting Bender the ball on the elbow for flex/rip action, rolling after a pick is another way of getting the ball in the middle of the floor around that area to utilize his vision.

Canaan definitely got fouled. but they can't review after they already made the call, can they?

Suns extremely lucky to get that call, wasted way too many seconds dribbling the ball.

I thought they could only review the play, not the call that was made? or was that the rule change

like if they called a shot clock violation, they could only review to confirm/deny that? not change to a foul

There were two calls made by two different Ref's at the same time.

The bench of one of the worst league teams raped the top-4 team of the powerful west. Unless such happens?

They can't review the call I thought but they can review the ball going out of bounds. One of the officials did call a foul on that play though. They had to review if it was before or after the shot clock expired

I looked up Cannan's stats and while he is a poor shooter overall his 3pt numbers are about average at least which is nice.
