Let's also not ignore Warren's 25 points on 12-19 shooting. They are a nice 1-2 punch for us this season. Just about every game they both end up with 20+.

Through the first quarter and part of the second he was 2-11.
From then on -- 15-21.

Nice D from several folks.
Tyson Chandler was more active than I seen since last season.
Bender had four blocks.

Ulis with 12 dimes...

Yeah, I even saw TJ hit a 3 tonight. If he could become a threat there, it would open up more of his game and everyone else's too.

despite the worst defensive sequence in NBA history last game, i enjoyed that game
and by halftime this game i was ready to take back some of my criticisms
then Booker exploded, and i was loving it

i'm warming up to our point guards
they'll be fine for this year

Chandler shows that he has the ability, but like others have said, he doesn't have the desire
he could be valuable, with a purpose coming off the bench for a playoff team
i'm sure we're trying to showcase him
someone should bite

Booker has confirmed what many, including myself, believed in the off-season -- he's not trade-able
not even for Lebron
he's got the will, he's homegrown and his future is blindingly bright

Simmons has an impressive skill set
but i look for fire and leadership in a star
and the only player i saw that from today
was Book

Great game by Booker. Dude is going to leave in a few years if we don't figure it out. He is just so much better than everyone else on this team it's not even close.

I know TJ can have scoring games like this. He needs to do it consistently. Until then, I won't see him as anything more than a 6th man (which is okay, except we are counting on him right now to be more than that).

Josh Jackson is just awful right now.

I can live with a minutes distribution like tonight, minus Chandler's 37!! minutes. JJ, Bender, Chriss all with >20 minutes. James and Daniels barely played.

I would love if we ran some plays for Dragan to do something other than spot up 3? It is such a waste and we are really stunting his growth. Force him to make a play.

Someday, he's going to have a 5-20 night where he starts 2-11. Somebody here will criticize his decision to keep shooting on a night when he clearly doesn't have it. Somebody else will point to this game as evidence that a 2-11 start doesn't necessarily mean Booker should stop shooting.

Wow what a game! Booker is a joy to watch. Glad the Suns hung in there. It looked like they wanted to fold there at the end of the third but they played with urgency and focus.

Booker amazes me when he gets that hot he doesnt even hit rim on his makes.

Chandler played great D in the 4th. Up until then though he looked pretty old. I was shocked to be reminded he was only 35. Dudes got alot of mileage.

Dragan Bender is a good defender. He's hard to watch on offense. So far hes Jared Jeffries with better passing. Not great for a 4th pick.

Chriss. Man he's frustrating. Not totally giving up on him but hasn't shown me anything other than 12th man potential.

Philly defense is way worse than i would have imagined. I'd watch them on LP if they didn't have Reddick.

Glad Booker and TJ played great. Team needs to start competing every game.

That was an awesome win. Booker was just clowning Embiid tonight. Took him and another defender to the hoop and dunked on him. Shot jumpers over him. Came into the lane and knocked in a hook layup over his outstretched arms. Booker tonight seriously reminded me of Jordan in his heyday just making other teams look foolish. He just crushed the soul of the Philly crowd. All they could do was let out audible oohs by the end of the game.

We really need to get some players around Book.

The Bender-Jared Jeffries comp made me break out into a sweat. That just might be spot on. Scary.
