Alex Len vs. Anthony Davis!
Seriously, Davis will be a handful for us. It will be interesting to see how we cover him. This will be a good test for us tonight on their home floor.
Go Suns!!!

Awesome, carey! Give us a report and maybe a pic or two.
Our guys have a lot more confidence lately, so I think they will play well in this game. Starting Len and Tucker has been a good change. And the paint is kind of chipping off the Pelicans; Davis is superb, but the team around him is deeply flawed.

Let's see how the Pelis manage defend our perimeter. Len did a good job on Duncan, can't wat to watch him against Davis. Who says Asik worse than 11-11? Ryno vs Kieff is pretty interesting too.

The trio was a big reason for the Suns' 26 fast-break points versus Los Angeles - their third straight game with 25 or more. They're one of the NBA's best with 18.5 fast-break points per game, and Dragic and Bledsoe are among the league leaders at 5.5 and 4.4 points in transition per game, respectively.
"They've got one on the left, one on the right and one in the middle," Kobe Bryant said. "You can't cover them all."
New Orleans is allowing 13.7 fast-break points per game.

I've seen that, it's a great compliment. The three PGs have been playing much better lately, both individually and team play wise.
Defense and intensity have improved too. Len, Tucker and a more adequate version of Plumlee off the bench make a difference.

Yep, loving it. I've noticed IT3 in particular has been making an effort to get others involved.

Which is great, of course. I've noticed it too and I think I marked it on a game thread, but can't remember. A good IT3 is a tremendoud weapon to have, and a real asset.

"They're everywhere!"

Kobe doesn't try to guard anybody any more, anyway.

That ritual guarantees victory.
I mean, it's perfect so far, right?

You had me worried, TOO. I hope the late arrival doesn't have an effect.
