The red who T’d Booker clearly is having an issue with the Suns. He is calling everything.

Booker has to stop going under screens. Unless that is by design.

Asked for this photoshop since Warren keeps falling on his head.

And they probably called a foul on Warren on that play.

Not good....

Weird--I wonder if this will lead to another extended stay on the DL. Does anyone know if he had a lot of concussions earlier on in life?

Balanced scoring by our guys. 7 players with at least 7 points.

Man, Warren can't catch a break. Guy is Mr. Glass. Every couple games he manages to smash up some part of his body.

Yea not a good pattern for TJ. I was warming up to him at the 4. I like his style of play there. He's not unlike a Melo-type scorer where he can post or face up from the block, FT line extended/elbow and make a play.

We're an actual PF away from being decent. Too bad we whiffed on 2 in the top 10 of the same draft. I know it's still early but year 2 doesn't look too good so far.

Leading scorers Alex Len and Tony Daniels. Who'd have thought.

This game really calls some of our roster decisions into question. A guy off the street (Daniels) is essentially one of our 3-4 best players at this point. Our best big man by far is a guy who we just declined to offer a contract. Our two young stud PFs have so far laid an egg in both of our preseason games. Our PG hasn't shown much (though I forgive him considering that he's saving energy for the real season).

I think it all starts from not having a real point guard and structured offense. Jackson and Warren may be aggressive to thrive in this type of setting, but Bender and Chriss get kind of lost out there while Booker and Bledsoe pound the ball.
Daniels has been so effective because he's the one guy who can float around the 3-point line and knock down open shots.
Len has been better because he's going to the basket more than the last couple years when he was shooting so many mid-range shots.

We have young stud PFs? Did I miss something here? Are you referring to the 2 goobers we picked last year that had no business going that high?

Don't be fooled TOO. It was McStunna in action pulling off that trade. Such an incredible trade and amazing talent evaluation.

Wait, what? I see his box score with 8 points on 2-8 shooting, with 2 assists and 1 reb. Am I looking at the wrong game?
