Make it three in a row for good measure. Wow, the Suns won like the Spurs used to do during the SSOL era. Feels amazing.

What an amazing experience that was. Great game. Ugly as shit, but the fact we can win an ugly game like that speaks volumes. The game changed drastically with Len on the floor.
Go Suns!

I didn't even know what that was. It was announced literally the day after he signed the big contract?
That... that I don't recall.

Man, I knew Len had skills and it was only a matter of time before they surfaced, but holy fuck - I never knew he had THAT in him! That was a straight-up Larry Bird dish to Markieff down in no-man's land after a fucking drive.

10/11 for Len in 32 quality minutes.....
I think any smart fan knew it was too early to draw conclusions on Len. Just like its too early to say he's arrived after 2 good games. Yea its tough watching him get injured all the time, but everyone should of known that a 19yr old foriegn big was going to take a bit of time to develope.
“Kobe had said (after the play) I wasn’t hugged enough as a child,” Bell recalled. “My mom kind of found him after the instance and we had beat them and offered him a hug in the bowels of the Phoenix arena. She really feels a part of that story.”

Len, 10 & 11 with only 1 block but Parker quit going to the hole when Len was in there which was huge.
Go Suns!

Len's length is a problem for the other teams, no doubt.

LOL I love how odd Len reacts with his teammates Isiah is jumping around and Len just walks over and sticks out his hand awkwardly.

It may be too many beers, but I can see this team winning 50+ this year.

Only one block is the crazy thing - Yeah, cuz no one's stupid enough to shoot the ball straight into his arms. :lol: Evidence par excellence that stats don't tell all or even much of the story. You wouldn't know from that stat line that Len snuffed out the opponent's entire offense.

Len was everything this team needs from the C spot. Outstanding.

IT3 ad Green are a combo that is hard to watch during some stretches but you have to take the bad with the good, and there was plenty of the latter tonight. IT3 scored with Nash-esque flair.

Tolliver is 1/3 of the player Frye is. Those who complained about one trick pony, here it is what one dimension looks like.

The crazy fact is that the Spurs managed to stop Bledsoe-Dragic, the fastbreak and the 3, but we had other weapons and above all defense and rebounding.

Kieff was invisible glue again. He will have to use the space to penetrate instead of shooting threes, though, but so far he's been really solid.
