I especially enjoyed his reaction after the pass. :roll:

Knight had Bender and Len both posting up guards and still fucked up the play.

It's a lot of fun to see Bender on the floor.

How can we take the Suns seriously about winnimg when they insist on playing Knight in crunch time?

People are going to look at Bledsoe's ats and say "Hey! He had 19 points and 7 assists, he played well!" But Deron Williams is killing him and he pounds the ball way to much on offense and just kills the clock.

Possession after possession, Bled just looks to isolate and take that long jumper our guards love. Not even a thought of running a play, or letting someone else create.

Yep. This team never has any offensive flow when Bled and Knight lead the way, its so difficult to watch.

He had a personal 7-0 run in crunch time. It was tied at 93, Bledsoe's done all the scoring since.

Really hope his play leads to a trade that nets us some solid assets. I dont expect much for Knight, but Bledsoe should garner a solid package.

He won the game for us in crunch time, but he did it playing the wrong way.

Please, let another team see this game and think he's a winner!

Totally!

I wonder whether our coach or GM see it the same way?

All I need to see is the box score that shows that Tucker played more than Warren, Chandler played more than Len, Knight played over Ulis. I couldn't give two shits that we won. In fact, in every instance that these three things occur, I hope we lose badly.

I have no interest in watching this team play unless the young guys are dominating the minutes.

Our games are really, really boring. They're becoming a burden to watch.

Wow. A bunch of sad sacks on a winning night.

I can't believe nobody mentioned Knight's improved defense tonight. He was going after it hard on the defensive end and picking up full court defensively. He earned his extended playing time tonight.

The Mavericks announcers had nice things to say about Booker and Len.
Synchronicity and all that jazz, man.
