Suns @ Spurs 1-29-19

a great example of how a game's +/- stat can be misleading
Booker at +0 with 38 points (14 of 19) and 7 assists
Bender at +5 with 0 stats in 3 minutes

Ouch. Tough loss. At least the game was overall fun to watch and the team played pretty well.

Too much Jackson, honestly. He takes away so much more than he gives. I am not sure if he will get much better. Booker had several TOs and defensive lapses. But he easily makes up for them. If I envision it on a scale, Booker is on one end with being the most likely to overcome mistakes, with Jackson on the other extreme. Oubre is about in the middle.

Personally I thought Jackson had a better game today than Oubre did. Kelly hit a big shot but he forced some too and going 1 for 6 from 3 didn't help us much either.

I thought Jackson was OK tonight, but I do agree with you in general. Jackson has so much talent, but he just can't help himself when it comes to down really stupid stuff out there. On the flip side of that... he never stops playing hard and trying, so there is that too.

How bad do Bender and Ryan Anderson suck to where our Coach would rather play Oubre at 5 to go against Aldridge after Holmes fouled out? lol.

It's nice to hear but can Popovich remove the "We had no respect for them" part.

Thanks, Pop. "My team played like total dogcrap and did nothing right, but it was still enough to beat you losers. I can hardly believe it myself."

Gotta appreciate his honesty.

My thoughts on the ending...

An oldie but a goodie.

NSFW, there are a couple F bombs.

At least they were wearing cool jerseys.
