Yea Bender's getting into a real nice offensive rhythm. Definitely his best stretch of basketball I've seen. The turnaround fade was very nice and his outside jumper's falling now.
I think like Chriss, he's added weight and has lost some quickness and explosion. Both guys seem to be playing below the rim. I don't want to say they're soft, but they're kinda soft. Or at least finesse. Chriss is trying reverse lay-ups like he's a guard, posts up 18ft out, doesn't crash the boards or show any physicality. Bender's the same but I feel like he'll be in the mix of plays around the basket at least, but he almost never comes away with the board.
I really like what I'm seeing from Reed defensively. He moves his feet extremely well, has a great frame and really long arms. He plays with a lot of confidence all around, I think he'll help right away.
JJ is JJ. He's the best player on the floor.

liking the D this game.
If Chriss could make an effort on the boards that would be nice. Don't know why we keep trying to post him up, wouldn't he be better in pnr/pick n pop?

Difference between Chriss and JJ right there. JJ got a beautiful pass but couldn't finish so kept his dribble and took it back out, reset and drove in for a nice floater. Chriss would have gone up no matter what.
Go Suns!

when we were trying to make sense of the Reed pick, some of us were saying hopefully he can be like Raja just going on the 3 n D scouting report. well getting to actually watch him that comp might prove to be a good one after all

Bender has figured it out. If he doesn't shoot at all in the 2nd half he can't tank his %.

Is that Mehmet Okur on the Suns bench?
Re: SL Game Day: Jazz #20 (0-3) @ Suns #13 (1-2), Wed 7/12/17
He's a Suns assistant coach so it should be.Wally_West wrote:Is that Mehmet Okur on the Suns bench?

There we go. Chriss keeping up his streak of yelling at someone.
Re: SL Game Day: Jazz #20 (0-3) @ Suns #13 (1-2), Wed 7/12/17
Loving Jackson's defensive positioning. How he shows for help and can make it back to his guy when they swing it.
Re: SL Game Day: Jazz #20 (0-3) @ Suns #13 (1-2), Wed 7/12/17
Definitely had better lift on that dunk.
Re: SL Game Day: Jazz #20 (0-3) @ Suns #13 (1-2), Wed 7/12/17
Should we be excited that a 7'1 dude just dunked? Cause I am. I'm mad pumped.

Okur looks like a bigger Gerard Butler.

Pretty scoop by Jackson.

Ha I was thinking that when I saw it. Good to see him here but maybe that's why Chriss and Bender aren't exactly looking like monsters inside.
Chriss seems to be doing that thing where he gets the ball in the paint and just goes up wildly hoping for the foul, looses the ball and then complains.
