I love him as a bench big. I hope the Suns keep him long term.

Case in point that last offensive possession. Baron has Augustin downlow and he jacks up a shot instead of passing it.

I love the announcer asking why Green would take an off balanced three with a man right up on him. Guess he hasn't watched us much this year.

They are ripping on our defense. I hate being a joke of a team on the defensive end.

I'm not a fan, either, but on three straight defensive possessions he:

1. Caused a deflection on a fast break
2. Ripped a rebound down in traffic
3. Dove to grab a steal and call timeout

I thought he played well defensively, poor offensively.
He did, you're right. Between him and PJ though, I've never seen 2 players with so little insight into their limitations.

God our offense just looks so bad. I swear it looks like a high school team out there not understanding the system and how to take advantage of it. So they just run it like they were shown until it breaks down and they can go one on one.

Even with the added talent the Thunder aren't going anywhere without Westbrook playing well.
Love, Hurts.

Len is going to be something when he figures out the pick-and-roll.

This Westbrook-Bledsoe matchup is pretty interesting.

Interesting that Hornacek has Knight on Augustin and Bledsoe on Westbrook defensively, you'd think it would be the other way around.

Eric's a better defender IMO. I'd have him on Westbrook too.
“Kobe had said (after the play) I wasn’t hugged enough as a child,” Bell recalled. “My mom kind of found him after the instance and we had beat them and offered him a hug in the bowels of the Phoenix arena. She really feels a part of that story.”

I don't think his one on one defense is that amazing. He's great at anticipating passes and blocking shots on help.
