He's had some nice ones tonight.

Unfortunately he still looks off balanced and forces the right hand right into the defender.

On the other hand he looks solid rolling to the basket this year. He is catching the ball much better for the most part.

Booker & Len tied at the half with 14 a piece.

We have about as many assists at halftime (16) as we usually average over the whole game.

Bullets have got their heads in the game now. The lead is down to 22. I wonder how much of the 3rd unit we will see tonight.

I want to see Alec Peters play.

Well he didn't look like a goober there.

Ulis needs to work on his footwork when shooting. It's the thing that's holding him back right now.

Bender and 1. 30-point lead, three minutes to play. I think we're going to win this one.

The Bender game?

I was clearly wrong, haha.

Always knew he could play, the question has been whether he can do it against NBA competition. This game doesn't answer that.

The young guys are playing well tonight -

Len - 20 pts, 4 reb, 7 blk
Bender - 16 pts, 8 reb, 1 blk
Jackson - 9 pts, 7 reb, 3 ast
Booker - 31 pts, 5 reb, 6 ast
Ulis - 11 pts, 3 reb, 3 ast

Bender and Len look like they would be all-stars in Australia. Chriss looked very disinterested. I'm trying to think of one play that involved him, and I can't think of one. Box says he has 2 rebounds.

True.

The NBL teams aren't as competitive as the best teams in the European leagues.

Chriss scored 8 early points and that was pretty much it from him tonight.

Yeah, I wonder why. He played half as many minutes as Bender.

The blocks from Alex and Bender were really fun to watch. It was like they were playing a high school team out there.
