Making Zubac look like an All-Star.

Len blocks Zubac, gets the rebounds, then the dunk on the other end!

They're not the only team that isn't putting up much defensive resistance.
Very true. Russell and Zubac playing well. I think Ingram can still be a very good player. He's got some skills. Like Reggie Miller is saying, he needs to get that shot improved. Also needs some muscle.

He needs a lot of muscle. He needs to put on like 20 pounds.

Who has a better group of young players? Lakers or Suns?

Hmm, Russell, Ingram, Randle, Nance, Zubac vs Ulis, Booker, Warren, Chriss, Bender.

I like Booker over Russell, Randle over Warren, Chriss/Ingram is a toss up right now to me. The others are pretty close. I think I stick with our guys.

Should we include Clarkson, Black, Jones Jr, and Len?

Our offense disappeared in the 3rd Q for some reason.
Go Suns!

Suns got out-worked that quarter.

Well we could survive those lulls if we played just a little defense.

I was OK giving up 30 points a quarter to Charlotte, OKC, Boston, and Washington, but the Lakers? This is getting ridiculous.

Suns coasted their way through the 3rd, like trying against the Lakers was a bit beneath them. Very different mindset to recent games

Probably, I'd replace Len with Alan Williams, I really don't think we're going to bring back Len
