Nice reverse alley hoop by Len from Bledsoe

 

[Phrazbit]

Woah! Alex the Phalanx Len! Having himself a half! Keep it up fella!

Magic Johnson be like, "Oh man, Alex Len, oh man!!"

Meanwhile the $70 million man is 1 for 9.

It was fun to watch for awhile. But the Suns went back to bombing from the outside . . . and missing. It looked like the Junior Varsity scrimmaging vs. the Varsity.

With the exception of a couple of good plays by Len, the Spurs forced the Suns to the outside and the Suns were lost.

They are not going to challenge for the playoffs if we have no alternative to popping prayers from the perimeter.

It is like deja vu. I felt the exact same way in the late 1970's.

I am hoping that Jeff teaches some flexibility.

Plumlee is god awful, worst starting C in the league. Len needs to begin starting over him....

Agreed.

Len has played well tonight so much so they brought him back in the game after only a short rest.

Yeah, but that was because Plumlee got in foul trouble.

That is not proactive.

The Suns seem too predictable offensively. It doesn't seem like they're running much plays at all - Meaning it's just a pick and roll at the top of the key nearly every play ...

The Spurs are making drives to the basket difficult thus the scoring problems for the Suns PGs.

Still, Len deserved to be on the court.

I'm not gonna blame him, he's put more effort in the game than everyone except for maybe IT.

He gets hacked every drive to rim but it doesn't get called.

He needs to learn to flop, he's too strong so to the refs, it doesn't look like much contact. He needs to flop. Learn from LeBron, he had the same problem because of how strong LeBron is and cause of how players took swipes at him at the rim.

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

And, do they have the roster to accomplish it?

That's true. But it is not why he was so soon.

 

[AfroSuns]

Why is Plumlee trying to dunk that with one hand...dumb move

 

[sunsfan88]

Plumlee is playing worse this season than he did at Duke.

 

[BC867]

I know why the Suns keep playing catchup on their own court.

It is those ridiculous wuss t-shirts they're wearing. They look like a JV team.

I don't think it's the "wuss" aspect but I know that I could never shoot well in a t-shirt. Sleeves just drove me nuts and considering how seldom they wear them, I think it could easily be a factor. Of course, if it is, it's probably at least as much mental as it is physical and that's never a good sign.

Thomas is just a flat out, stone-cold scoring machine... Love the kid!

Not so. There is a reason he was drafted at the bottom of the first round, he didn't play very well at Duke. He averaged fewer than 2 points a game as a rookie and fewer than 7 points a game as a senior.

True, but he should attack the rim at the end of the quarter instead of forcing a 3 like that. Dumb play.

I wasn't talking about just points, I was talking about overall. Awareness, rebounding, defense, offense, passing, everything.

An exaggeration to say worse than Duke but he's playing as bad or very close to it.
