And then Len with the ferocious dunk after the mean rebound! Over Drummond!

Could it be, do the Suns actually want to win this game?

Booker with the huge block and then Bledsoe with the sick layup off the sweet dribble hesitation crossover. Wow.

Just saw what you were talking about. Dudley was talking to Len and he was making stinky broken nose faces at him.

This has been my favorite Suns game to watch for a long time. They led the whole game, they had more assists than turnovers :), and the players seemed to be enjoying themselves.

I love the Dudley pickup--I think he has got to be one of the most influential players in that locker room right now in terms of facilitating team cohesion.

Its games like this that give me hope for Len--he has had a couple of good games this past week, so we will have to see whether his play stays consistent.

And It was great to see Booker playing the facilitator role with Dudley earlier in the game. The team has not been very good at sharing the ball with each other over the past few years. I'd love to see that change this year.

SUNS WIN!

It's good to see some of our more disappointing guys play so well.

Dudley after the game! "Alex Len, this is his 4th season. This is his time. This needs to happen now. It's about him finding consistency. Him not falling in love with the jump shot. Dominating the paint, playing inside, dunking."

Love it!

Chriss, Bender and Tucker combined 0-12? Didn't see the game but do not like.
Go Suns!

Can't have it all. Len, Bledsoe and Dudley had great games. Knight had a good game for Knight and TJ had it going at one point and finished 2nd in +/-. And we won. It will be rare when all of our team is on point for a game but liking the competitive, young team we have out there so far this season. I'm finally enjoying watching the Suns again.

Not sure what you mean. I thought he rubbed them the right way tonight.

I wouldn't say useless. He was ice from the FT line.
