    He was dominating the Suns’ starters last game. He dominates everybody.

    When he came in the game it was essentially tied. Ingram was still in there.

    Banton obviously should be in the rotation, before the 4th quarter.

    Scoot played twice as many minutes, was 2-6 , 5 assists and 5 turnovers.

    Nope. I’m saying I’d be livid if some third stringer came in the game and dropped 20 on us. As for Knicks, we’re gonna be alright. We’ve got lots of talent and a good coach. Wins will pile up inevitably.

    Everything we hoped we could get in a CJ for Simmons trade.

    I wouldn't expect Banton to get a lot of assists. But who needs assists when you're shooting better than everyone else.

    No keep Banton in this role as secret weapon. It’s very enjoyable.

    Banton is every bit the microwave bench gunner we all wish Ant would be.

    That makes the first 3 quarters not enjoyable. The offense is painful.

    Great win!

    Ended up betting $208 when I saw Zion was out and had a net profit of $200 for tonight's game. Don't expect I'll bet on the Blazers to win much this year so nice they could help me out.

    I still don't understand how the Pelicans were favored with 5 of their best 6 players out and on the 2nd of a back to back.

    How I now think of Banton in 4th quarters:

    I’ll be honest FAMS…..Banton and Rob Williams were playing against in a pickup game in PHX…standing about 5 feet away from them and they are the exact same height.

    So between Simons/Grant/Ayton those three had 59 points with a total of 3 turnovers. Only one other player scored in double digits (Banton). Banton is pretty much an end of bench player that doesn't rebound or pass the ball so he's bound to score against a team playing their end of bench.

    Is this the meaningless win that we've been warned about costing us the #1 pick in the draft next summer?

    They might actually be worse than our announcers

    Here's a thought? Maybe you should start a thread about this?

    We're fine, re: the lottery.

    It doesn't matter where we finish in the bottom three, so you might as well be third, but, TBH, even fourth doesn't change your odds a ton.

    We're tied for seventh right now. Beneath us are the Pels, Sixers and Bucks. We'll end up worse than seventh, and you never really know how the ping pong balls will turn out.
