Ulis is a total liability on both sides of the ball.

Wasn't Frye a top 8 pick? Obviously a far cry from 4, but I think Bender has a higher ceiling than Frye. Even given Bender's passivity.specialsauce wrote:If Frye is what we are striving Bender to become, that is very disappointing.

Great D by Josh there
Re: Game Day: Suns (17-33) @ Grizzlies (17-31), Mon 1/29/18
Jackson with the D.
Re: Game Day: Suns (17-33) @ Grizzlies (17-31), Mon 1/29/18
Josh with the very nice block. He has been playing stellar D tonight.

I give Ulis a break because he spent the entire offseason injured, but if he doesn’t drastically improve his shot this offseason he’ll be out of the league in 2 years
Re: Game Day: Suns (17-33) @ Grizzlies (17-31), Mon 1/29/18
Annnnd he over handles and dribbles the ball out of bounds. Immediately acknowledges his mistake though. Although it is kinda hard not to when you just dribble the ball out of bounds...

Really happy with the way coach is handling Jackson. I feel like Watson might have really set Chriss back by starting him all last season. I feel like Chriss acted pretty entitled coming into this season.
Re: Game Day: Suns (17-33) @ Grizzlies (17-31), Mon 1/29/18
Agreed. He needs to have a shot to be effective otherwise defenders can just play off him by 6 feet and he is completely neutralized. It's not like he can see over the D to find passing angles.specialsauce wrote:I give Ulis a break because he spent the entire offseason injured, but if he doesn’t drastically improve his shot this offseason he’ll be out of the league in 2 years

I can't wait for halftime so I can go grab some Chick fil a!

He looked like an elementary school kid out there.

Can Greg Monroe dunk a basketball...?

A rare lead after the 1st quarter. Daniels hit a three to set the all-time team streak. Jackson looking much better so far in this one.
Synchronicity and all that jazz, man.

Bender goes back-to-back with a bad defensive play and a bad offensive play. Finally, some consistency!
Re: Game Day: Suns (17-33) @ Grizzlies (17-31), Mon 1/29/18
Josh has got to know he isn't going to be able to go up successfully like that against Gasol.
Re: Game Day: Suns (17-33) @ Grizzlies (17-31), Mon 1/29/18
Not quite the 2nd quarter I was looking for, but the tankers on the site should love it.
Jackson struggled in the 2nd quarter, but still is having an overall good game. Bender continuing the trend of putting the ball on the floor. Now he need to learn to do something with it.

I love that he put the ball down and tried to post up. Don’t care that he turned it over. I’m just looking for some drive.n4th4n wrote:Bender goes back-to-back with a bad defensive play and a bad offensive play. Finally, some consistency!

Ya I liked it too. He even backed down with a little force, which is not something we have seen out of him before.specialsauce wrote:I love that he put the ball down and tried to post up.
