If I were a betting man...

I'm not a big fan of the broadcast not showing the previous play anymore. Would like to see previous contested calls most of the time.

Bender making an effort to dribble drive more, had a nice one. Len continues to do his thing on the boards when he gets minutes, seems to be finishing a lil better so far this yr too

the Bender thing is good to see. Even ran a PNR with him and Len. better than just standing on the 3pt line. He is able to pass over a lot of folks

bender 3333

whats that 3 blocks for Len so far? Too bad the rest of our D isnt so good .

and then bender with the block

Bender playing well so far. Nice to see.

Daniels with 11 big points, including 3 treys! Suns within 1.

He had a sweet rebound surrounded by 4 Raptors but then immediately turned it over.

the offense looks a lot better with monroe in and chandler out.
Against the kings it was all handoffs well behind the 3pt line all night. Movement with no purpose

Tonight is more guys throwing it into the post then pass out, penetrate and one or two passes.

can we keep letting bender attack tonight. Even if it doesn't always go well, it would go a long way toward developing him further.

I kinda like Greg Monroe. It's too bad he's almost certainly a 1-year rental. I know we're trying to lose, but I just think this team would benefit from having a few solid vets and NBA players on the roster.

Monroe is a decent offensive player but very bad on defense. He can't even handle J-Val in the post.

Wow, Daniels with 7 3-pointers and 32 total points. I think we need more pure shooters like him on the roster. Way too many "athletes" and "tweeners" on this team for my taste.

Chriss and Bender are regressing this season. now add Jackson who's getting worse, not better
how does the coach let him consistently hang out past the 3 point line, when he can't shoot 3's

they need guidance and an offensive framework that plays to their strengths

as is, we're only getting consistency from Monroe and now Daniels, the vets on the team
the youngsters are going nowhere

I thought Chriss and Bender looked better tonight overall.

I think when Reed and Booker come back, maybe they will be able to play them, Daniels and Bender on the floor together and cause some mismatches spreading the opposition out.

What exactly are our strengths? I mean that in all seriousness. I don’t think we’re good at anything

One jumps really high, the other one defends well sometimes but is nigh useless most of the time.
