    Banton is a player that can't be unguarded by the defense. Which seems to be what the Pelicans are doing.

    Banton is like our Tim Tebow. He gets it done unconventionally

    Banton's length makes a difference on both ends of the court.

    Is Banton unstoppable?

    Banton is the best player of all time.

    I don't know.

    Waiting until this point to play Banton seems idiotic to me, after what he did in the last game.

    I just realized. Banton is the perfect player for Chauncey's offense. There is no offense, so Banton just gets to freewheel.

    We look like the 2017 Warriors in this quarter.

    I liked Benton late in the season last year. I always like tall guards. Tired of small guards that cannot defend

    LOL Hey, we are desperate here as our #3 pick struggles badly, our spendy acquisition struggles as well, and our two "throw ins" in the Boston and PHX trades look way better (Banton at least this game)
