Alvin is off tonight. A few bad passes, defensive mistakes and poor boxing out. Bender has also struggled on defense staying with his man when he penetrates.

Agree EDC. The turnovers (and already with three 3 second violations) have been bad.

And now an offensive 3 seconds. Frustrating.

Was that a bad pass? Kinda looked like Archie just didn't grab it. Was weird.

Seemed good. Archie looked at it too late and wasn't quite expecting it.

That was late. How did the red light not go off? He released at 0.00.

Len has the experience to be the defense anchor when Chandler is out. He isn't. Same mistakes he's been making for the last 4 years yet someone will end up paying him 15 mil a year. Hope it isn't us.

That call is insane.

I know Chriss is a rookie but I've seen about 4 of the most bullshit calls on him so far.

The Ukraine Crane with the sweet fadeaway 19 footer!

That call on Chriss was a fucking JOKE! What in the....

Not to rehash but how in the hell did the ref see that as a foul on Chriss. How? NBA officials are the absolute worst. Out of all of professional sports, truly the worst. They are always making subjective calls on preconceived notions instead of what occurs by looking at player x's experience and accolades vs. player y. That's not how you make impartial decisions.

Warren with the great block of the 3 pointer and then what should have been an and 1 (the refs continue to baffle me with the fouls levied against us with missed calls against fouls on Utah).

Always been highly political with NBA refs. Disgraceful.

Warren has had some great rim attacks with contact and finishes.

You get the feel that the ref wanted to blow his whistle on the Warren attempt but because they didnt call one on the Ingles shot....

Side note: If I hear "Jinglin Joe" one more time...

I still think the NBA needs to do away with fouling out of a game. The refs have the ability to royally screw a game with a few bad calls by putting an important player in foul trouble. Just give the fouled team an extra free throw or something if they go over 6 fouls. At least that limits the damage done by refs somewhat.

Right!? Jinglin Joe? What is this? 1930? "Nahhh see. Ya ain't taking Jinglin Joe in coppers! Not with your lives, see! Mahhhh!"

I'm watching this one on a sketchy stream (couldn't find it on my DirecTV). Nice to see Warren active. Most curious to see Chriss and Bender.

Number 43 on the purple squad has some legit skills. 42 on white looks 3 years older than everyone else. Nice full court take to the hoop. Number 2 was wide open ahead for 3 seconds on the break though.
