Bender with the strong move to the basket over Jokic!
I, too, am more excited than I should be.

Len should be on Jokic.
I've been happy with Payton.

He does need to get in there and get more boards though.

Chriss with foul #3. He has been bad tonight. Len in for him. Len has also been bad tonight.

Len sucks against anyone half his size. His only good games are against teams without real centers

That's a murderer's row of guards. A guy just dumped for a 2nd rounder, a guy previously dumped
with a 2nd rounder, an early 2nd round pick coming off a serious injury, and a G-League PG. Woo!

It's only that bad because of injuries to a 2nd round player who happens to be the smallest player in the NBA and a dynamic combo guard who was the worst player in the NBA last season. And Booker.

That pump fake in the paint and the drop by Bender was nice.

I'm really liking how Payton is playing and how the guys are learning that he will find them. They are starting to look like a halfway efficient team out there.

1st half:
Jackson-- 10/4/4 with 1 block and 2 steals
Warren-- 18/1/1 on 8-10 shooting
Bender-- 12/2/2 with 1 block
Payton-- 9/1/4
The rest of the team stunk, but Davon Reed was -9 in 2 minutes. Yikes.

He already has good chemistry with Jackson.

Elfrid Payton is CP3 compared to the drivel we've been trotting out there this year. Yowza.

Yea not surprised by Payton, getting to the basket and finding cutters is his thing. Vucevic is one of my fav centers so would watch them when I bored last couple seasons lol
Happy that is basically more of the norm for Josh to be a positive impact nightly.

The kid may need prompting to be aggressive but man he just knows how to play basketball.
