That kid has world class athleticism. Impressive. If only he could add a jumper.
Go Suns!

Just remember Mori called Archie a lost cause.

You just have to have patience with the young guys. Guys like Len, Goodwin and Warren will be contributors eventually. Len is further along obviously, but you can see that they have talent.

I missed the entire game except for the last 4 minutes of the 4th. Looks like we played well?

I was at the game too, and that came out of nowhere and was worth the price of admission alone.

Gotta be dunk of the night if not the week! Loved Valanciunas' reaction. "Oh, shit! Turn and cover!"Indy wrote:That was fucking amazing. I'm here in person and it was sick!

Archie Goodwin. Just nasty.
What is smallball? I play basketball. I'm not a regular big man. I can switch from the center to the guards. The game is evolving. I'd be dominAyton if the WNBA would let me in. - Ayton

Much to like. Len and Plumlee collectively 8-12 for 19 pts, teammates looking for them in the paint.
Suns had 26 assists. 30 fastbreak points.
Goodwin had 12 pts in 9 minutes.
Valenciunas had as quiet a 21 pt, 10 rebound effort as you will see. Not really a factor, save for being a big target for Goodwin's epic flight ...

Well, so much for hopes and dreams ...

I believe I 'asked' whether Archie is a lost cause at this point, mostly due to the fact that it'll be hard to find playing time for him. If they choose to play him, everything changes. I think he has potential and I want to see him succeed. On a team with such a guard-heavy roster, though, it'll be hard to find ways to get him into the game unless we are up by 15 with 3 minutes left, like tonight.
But HO BROTHER!! that dunk.
Re: Game Day: Raptors (24-9) @ Suns (19-16), Sun 1/4/15
I thought he held his own pretty well. I liked that the Suns didn't mess around and doubled and trippled Valanciunas early and it paid off. Len kept them honest and his team mates found him a number of times for easy dunks unlike the last game. It's like football. Some teams are good at passing and some better at the run. Even if a team isn't good at running they still have to run sometimes otherwise the other team will be able to just focus on stopping the pass.Len vs. Valanciunas should be good.

So, we had the 29 pointer, no we have The Dunk.
Once a year the kid show us the goods, not too shabby.

Next year he scores the 1st ever 29 point dunk. Its science.
Love, Hurts.
