Bender for 3
“Kobe had said (after the play) I wasn’t hugged enough as a child,” Bell recalled. “My mom kind of found him after the instance and we had beat them and offered him a hug in the bowels of the Phoenix arena. She really feels a part of that story.”

Well that was awful. James waves Jackson off, than throws it away.

Wow. I stand corrected. He pulled a Brandon Knight.

I'm assuming it was a James and Jackson pick and roll. I would of involved Bender, but is what it is

down 13 and I really felt the way Selden was playing that we were gonna get blown out. Loved how they battled back but this last 30 secs to end the game was just as bad it could have gone from a game management decision standpoint
I said in the 1st half I wasn't fussy about Harrison getting minutes but he was really solid in this game

Shaq Harrison was a +16. Reed was the only other positive at +4

James is simply a scorer. He's our knight replacement at 1/15th the cost. Unfortunately we still have to pay knight.

20/7/5 from Bender was very nice to see. He just needs to start hitting the 3

He was the hero and goat all in the span of 30 seconds.

Like Split said, he is what you want out of the Brandon Knight role. But not your backup PG.

Until that last play where he had a foul to give but instead he let Baldwin have a lay up. He wasn't aware of the situation. Not sure if that's on coaching or him but that can't happen.

Ok so Mike James plays a little out of control sometimes and makes mistakes but he also makes plays and makes the team better. I'd give him Knight's roster spot. As they mentioned during the broadcast (after they spent 5 straight mins talking about water, no really) Phx has so many guards so it's tough to find him a spot. He's not better than Bledsoe or Ulis but he is better than Knight and Price so whatever.

I don't think he's better than Knight. Knight would destroy Summer League.

Would he though?

He's not more skilled than Knight but Knight does absolutely nothing to make the team better. In fact he makes the team substantially worse when on the court. Just would like to see the team try to collect a few more players who make their teammates better. Knight isn't that.
