I think this should soothe Eindholm's concern about us needing to go crazy from 3 in order to win.

2-18 from down town and we slay the champs, amazing.

Love it. And while I think we got hosed several times tonight, that 3 point call on Dragic/Ginobili looked legit to me. It looked like he grazed Manu's elbow which is the way the refs call it in today's game.

I got to tip my hat to Lenny tonight. Hopefully this builds his confidence and he has more of the same. Still cant box out and gets pushed out of the box, but I guess he'll improve. Decent game!

Len with a great game.

I'm so glad Plumlee has been getting foul trouble these past 2 games.

It was very close, but I think I agree with you, especially with how short Manu's shot ended up being.

Yeah, i had to rewind it a couple times to see the foul. I was focused at Ginobili's feet when he landed but the foul came on the way up.

Either way, the 5 second call was questionable in our favor. Monty started his 1 count almost the same time Diaw touched the ball it looked like.

I'll take it!

This makes us the regular season champs!

Who cares.

He's a hater.

He hates this team with a passion.

They don't fit his flawed belief system.

True. But it does reinforce the Suns' reliance on Thomas's in-between game. He was the critical player on the offensive end.

As for Len, tonight's game was very far beyond anything I thought was possible. If he ever does it again, I'll be impressed, but for now I think it was more likely a huge fluke.

Great early season win. And the Suns did it with all three guards on the floor down the stretch.

I think Suns fans have wanted a glimpse of the type player Len can be. They got it tonight.

So rare to watch the Suns beat a good team while shooting so poorly from 3.

But the fact that we did it against the defending CHAMPS just make it oh so sweet.

Refs made up for the bad call on Groan with a quick 5 second count on Diaw.

Welcome to the NBA. What are the Suns going to do about it?

And, do they have the roster to accomplish it?

IT and Alex Len may provide some of the answers.

Really.

Open your eyes.

Don't believe what I say.

Go back and read.

It's all there.

Dude, ****. Like seriously, we just won a huge game and that kid was key and you wanna call his game a fluke?

Nobody here is claiming hall of game for Len. Can't you just say he had a good game and leave it at that? Or don't comment on it at all.

I wasn't a fan of drafting Len either. I was frustrated that he didn't show anything last season while getting injured over and over again also. But like it or not, he's been good this season.

Actually, I thought they were both correct calls. On the 5 second, the ref slow counted a stroke or two and then quick counted one of them but as I counted along it seemed like the right call in the end.

Len was solid and consistent, rather than hot and cold. I think that takes it out of the fluke category. Time will tell.

Stars of the game. Kieff with 20/11. Len will 10/11. And IT with another 23 off the bench to lead the team. Plus 4 assists to lead the team.

Len played 31:40 to Plumlee's 14:46. That's 46:26 out of 48 minutes with a Center playing Center. Although I gave up calling Plumlee a Center when he laid the ball up instead of going strong.

Debbie Downer post.

You can see that Len has talent. It's just a matter of him putting it together consistently. I can pretty much guarantee that you'll see more double doubles. He's too big and moves extremely well for his size.

I'm more worried about him having a non injury-prone career than I am about him being a solid player.

I couldn't agree more.

Like I said above, he's a hater.

Always has been since I've been here.
