I didn't know Payton and Warren were best friends

Payton can pass, the Suns need to be ready for it.

 

[95pro]

Bender passes on a layup nicely setup by Payton.

Yup. Even the same agency representing them.

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 1st quarter:

Nuggets 28 - Suns 23

Reed into the game.

Payton looks good so far. Nothing fancy, just nice, simple passes. Took Bender by surprise on that one play. Jackson and Bender are playing well, and Warren is his usual self.

Agree. The Suns frontcourt played well.

 

[Mainstreet]

Chriss banking in a 3. I think he did this the last game as well.

 

[SirStefan32]

Nice block by Bender and two passes by JJ!

 

[GatorAZ]

Looks like the Nuggets have completely mailed it in after the 1st qtr.

 

[Mainstreet]

Jackson says I can fly and goes in for 2.

 

[SirStefan32]

Jackson to Bender for a nice dunk!

 

[Mainstreet]

Payton can get to the basket with ease.

Bender says I can do that too.

 

[95pro]

Payton has good length. A quick couple of steps and he’s at the rim.

 

[AsUpRoDiGy]

Payton looking good... very fluid and making it look easy.

 

[SirStefan32]

Holy Bender!

 

[95pro]

Since when did Jokic reach MJ/Kobe status?

He's getting hammered.

 

[SirStefan32]

For those who question Bender's fundamentals and his defense... watch Jokic when Bender is guarding him, and then watch his when he has Len or Chriss on him.

 

[Mainstreet]

Halftime:

Nuggets 62 - 60

Impressed with Payton who had 9 points and 4 assists.

Warren, Bender and Jackson all solid upfront.

 

[devilalum]

Payton definitely better one than anything else we got but that’s not saying much.

I like that Payton doesn't try to be flashy or over the top in any way. Simple passes, basic drives.

 

[Mainstreet]

Wow! Is that Dragan Bender out there.

He is answering some questions of late.

 

[Mainstreet]

Bender with another 3 point dagger.

I like he is playing inside as well as playing some good defense.

 

[SirStefan32]

Damn, Bender! Cutting to the hoop, getting offensive rebounds, denying Jokic the basketball, making great passes, getting all animated... I love it! Also, Payton is a legitimate PG!
