Even holding Booker our probably wouldn't have helped, because he hasn't really been the story tonight.

Yes, he is. He’s missing, but that doesn’t matter.

We could play 3 on 5 and still win. Man as bad as we are, I’m glad I’m not a Dallas fan.

Yeah, they only have one championship.

Bender gets Devin Harris posted up, and TJ flat out ignores him and drives to the basket and takes an incredibly difficult shot. Yes, he made it, but that is a short term make and a long term miss. He needs to pass the damn ball when his teammate has a mismatch. That’s twice in one half he’s flat out ignored a teammate. Again why I think he’s best in a bench role

Could we actually find a way to lose this?

I’d be shocked if his ankle bent that way and it’s an isolated open fibula fracture.

I haven't seen the play yet, but based on how it's been described I just assumed it was tib-fib. Gambo may have just missed the tibia part.

Jackson played really well tonight in general. Hopefully we continue to start him.
