[O_Gardino]

Bender getting some 1st quarter minutes?!?

[TOO]

Bender sighting.

[Split T]

Bender sighting

[TOO]

Dragan, I am rooting for you, the bench is really to explode when he finally makes a shot.

I won't hold my breath

[iLLmatic]

That defense on George was superb though

[TOO]

Gotta take the last shot of the quarter there Devin. Sigh.

[TOO]

Booker must've forced a shot early in the clock instead of taking the last shot to show the guys what not to do. Thats his thing right?

[Split T]

Kemba with 58 at the end of regulation, headed to OT against Philly

[JeremyG]

Horrible clock management by Booker. Then horrible clock management by Canaan.

[O_Gardino]

1st quarter notes:

Booker is still Booker.
Jackson has slowed down and seems to be playing with much better pace. Same results, though.
Bender had great energy and had some great court positioning. Same result though.
Igor with the timeouts and actively managing the which 5 are on the floor in key moments. Same result though. We aren't good out of timeouts.
Our offense looks much better than it did the first 12 games. We are getting make-able shots.

[O_Gardino]

That defense on George was superb though

It really was.

[TOO]

Ayton out there playing like he's the lost 3rd Gasol brother, just lay it up nice and soft.

[Split T]

Crawford really looking for Ayton.

[EDC]

Wish Ayton would start dunking the ball when he is in the lane. Probably won't start happening. It seems like one of those things that doesn't change much with experience. You either have the desire to just throw it down on everyone like Amare or you don't.

[O_Gardino]

I'm loving this lineup going to Ayton every possession. And Melton + Jackson working together to get the block on the fast break.

I like his touch, I think I'd prefer he try to tear down the rim though

[EDC]

TJ is just unstoppable on the break.

[O_Gardino]

Melton with more excellent defense.

Same.
