That botched pass from Bender actually made me think ahead about Bender / Bagley alley-oops.

Any time the opponent score on Chriss:

It really is amusing how solid the D-Leaguers look compared to our starters. I bet if we brought in some power forwards we would be even more competitive. Would be bad for the future but it does kinda show how low our skill level is currently.

Did Bender make a mistake ditching the mask after his best scoring game ?? :shock:

Teletovic and Leuer were so much better overall. But we need to gamble on upside right ow.

Bender for 3!

(he hits the corner 3 about 50% of the time)

Len should be getting most of the minutes at center every night.

Someone needs to get aggressive on offense so Len doesn't feel like he need to make a move.

Might be time to start the bench unit, they look good. Canaan/Daniels/Bender/Len, probably keep Warren in there with them. Len/Canaan in particular look fantastic. Len might get a nice payday this summer.

I've always known Canaan as a two guard in a PG body, remember games with him going off from 3pt land but really never knew him as a facilitator. wonder if he improved that in the G League or just wasn't asked to on the other teams
