Booker losing his cool a little bit - arguing with the ref instead of defending, then shooting an airball. Watson calls time out.

Bender and the bench back in the game.

Bender gets called for a travel. He's been called for 2, and I think both were real travels, but the kind of footwork that short guys don't get called for.

Tucker busts his ass to save that ball and K ight drives in 1 on 2 and dribbles it off his knee. I loathe him.

Bender with a great drive to the basket, but gets his shot blocked. He doesn't hang his head, he just comes back down and keeps playing ball. A minute later he drills a 3.

I really like this kid. Can't wait to see him with Booker and Warren later this season.

Barbosa is a lot like Knight if he was actually good.

The box score just doesn't show how bad he is. But it does remind us that he has 6 assists and 4-9 shooting. Let's hope there's some other GM out there who only looks at the box score.

LB's free throw release is classic. Ah, the memories.

I would take any rotational player that doesn't need the ball in his hands and shoots 45% for Knight. Any.

Missed the first half. Going to have to watch it later. Really happy Bender is getting some time out there.

Bender with the great screen for Bled to hit a 3 at the end of the 3rd. Down 7 going to the 4th.

Suns just turning it over all the time to start the 4th.

Booker just looks mad. Chirping that the refs. Calling for the ball. Red in the face. Shooting emphatically. He's lost his cool a bit in this game, but I think he's learning to turn that dissatisfaction into focused scoring plays.

Suns within 2 this is usually when we let them pull away if we aren't going to pull it out.

Back to back buckets by Warren to bring us within 2 with about 9 minutes left.

Chriss with a putback to keep us fighting.

That would have been sick!

Blazers are hitting some difficult shots now. Well, just Lillard, really.

I shouted at the screen.

For those who didn't see, Chriss almost blocked McCullum.

Bender back in. Blazers commentators talking about how good he and the bench have been.

They are keeping a steady 6ish point lead. Bledsoe is still the only starter with an assist. I wonder how many of Booker's assists go to Chandler.
