Nice drive from Bender. Added some variety, not just waiting to follow the play.

But yeah this is why I kept advocating for Bender elbow touches, and not just parking him in the corner 90% of the time. Utilize the passing + Booker off-ball leverage.

How are these not offensive fouls on Westbrook?

Booker would have fouled out by now if he was the offensive player with all this contact?

Booker with an amazing third quarter so far.

yup, and have Jackson guard the point of attack. Offensively, be the defensive bulldog/cutter/curl guy

Suns wasting possessions right now. Bad playcalling + shot selection

Ulis was one of my favorite players last year, thought he could win rookie of the year if he played big minutes through the whole season.

Times have now changed.

Josh Jackson’s passing is actually really good. Sees the floor well.

I'm so nervous whenever Josh Jackson starts a drive. Made good decisions last two times instead of forcing shots

He's got the talent, just gotta be consistent in making those right choices. don't rush, trust your vision
