I think Plumlee makes a great backup center.

I have no beers in me and i can see this team being nr 1 seed if Len healthy and plays like he played first 2 games. Without Len i though we were pushing 50 wins, with THAT Len we might be pushing 60 wins.

Ring, if Green can start making his shots IT3 & Green will be tough to guard no doubt.

Plumlee seems like he has no confidence.

He's fouling a lot, missing point blank shots, making mistakes he didn't make last season.

Alex Len the Most Improved Player? If he plays like this he might be the runaway winner.

What player compares to Alex? Funny thing, I think the closest player analogue in the league is probably Nerlens Noel. But Alex is three inches taller, with additional length to match. And he's stronger - a real center. My goodness.

I apologize for generalizing everyone on here. There have been a lot on here that have been suspect of Len though.

Welcome to the month of unbridled optimism.

Not only this month, put significant money on the suns over at the beginning of preseason. Had no idea of Len progress then, with this Len i see no real weak spots in our roster. How he positioned himself on the floor i dont really believe that his play was a major fluke too.

I`m not saying suns get nr 1 seed, but i sure do believe they are right there, if spurs dont go off for 65/17 or so.

What. A. Game!

Loved it! We beat the Spurs at their own game. We scored under 100 and beat them. The Spurs led most of the way and then we beat them at the end. Love it!

This is some of what I envisioned when I tried to convince everyone of Len before the draft. It's only two games into his second season though. It's early.

And many times have we been up on the Spurs for them to win at the end? Too many, it feels good for the shoe to be on the other foot.

If you would have told me that Dragic and Bledsoe would go 7-25 tonight against the Spurs, I would have said that San Antonio wins by about 15.

Besides Len and the miniature power plant, 'Kieff started slow but gradually made a difference.
Well, so much for hopes and dreams ...

I think he compares to Valanciunas pretty favorably.
