Game Day: Suns (17-33) @ Grizzlies (17-31), Mon 1/29/18

[Split T]

Well we don't look great but the grizzlies look awful

[bajanguy008]

Bender can really pass geez. So want that to be complimenting his game when he's on the attack sigh

[specialsauce]

Should’ve held Warren out

[n4th4n]

The fact that any of us are actually watching this game is an indictment of us all!

[EDC]

DAMMIT BENDER. DUNK THAT FUCKING BALL.

Coach needs to start yelling at him over that shit. Perfect game to just call a time out and press the point.

[n4th4n]

Bender. Ugh.

[n4th4n]

Terrible call on Gasol. He blocked the shit out of Warren lol

[specialsauce]

DAMMIT BENDER. DUNK THAT f*** BALL.

Coach needs to start yelling at him over that s***. Perfect game to just call a time out and press the point.

Don’t worry when he gets older he will magically get angry and start dunking.

I can understand frustration that he isn't farther along but even as is he is solid on defense and can hit the three. If he improves on his three again this off season he will at worst be a good defensive big that can hit the three.

He isn't going to be going in and dunking like Westbrook but I do believe that he will be just fine driving from the three point line and be able to score. Between Booker, TJ and hopefully Jackson we don't really need another big offensive guy. I personally think Bender will be just fine.

Did Ulis just kick the ball out of bounds? It is getting to the point where I just kinda feel bad for the kid.

On the other hand he made a really good decision to room with Booker in college. That decision got him a guaranteed rookie contract.

[n4th4n]

Jackson starts the game 3/3 with 7 points after his 0-13 stinker. I am quickly becoming a big fan of him.

[specialsauce]

Promising response to last night for him

[bajanguy008]

Nice first quarter for Josh. I'm not really surprised, I mean it's not like his body language changed at all last night.
Kid resilient and/or just believe in himself which is good either way.

He’s an absolute liability on offense. We play 4 on 5 because teams know if he doesn’t shoot it once he catches the ball then he is not going to do anything remotely useful

Anybody else seeing this Grizzlies mascot dinner or whatever
Like WTH ?? Smh lol

Absolutely I’ll take those growing pains any day.

A lot of stretch bigs aren't good at putting the ball on the floor if the shot isn't open. I mean how often did you see Frye streak to the hoop for a flush?

Bender at least seems comfortable putting it on the floor he just seems afraid to try to score once he does. I'm still not worried because he has shown plenty of skill.

[bajanguy008]

These young forwards have Duds in trouble lol

[n4th4n]

Jackson a little over-aggressive there. Takes and misses a tough shit.

[specialsauce]

If Frye is what we are striving Bender to become, that is very disappointing.
