I was at the Celtics game.. Just saw the game again on TV.. IT's 3 should have been an offensive foul. How does the ref miss that? Anyways hope Suns beat Denver tonight. I hope we get calls tonight!

Len vs Nurkic is definitely the matchup of the night. Can't wait to see how Len does against the other big rising center.

Len held his own against Gasol so I'm sure he should be fine tonight. I'm going on the limb and predict 13/9/3 blocks for Lensanity.

I'm really excited for Nurkic vs Len match up. Two euro centers of the future. One with the potential of being the best rebounder and one with the potential to be the best blocker in the league. This should be good.

I hope neither of them gets in the foul trouble too early.

I'm kinda torn here, since Nurkic is from my country. I hope he has a good game in Denver loss.

:lol: We rarely ever get the calls. And Never in Denver. I'm expecting another tripping on the final shot like they did against Grant Hill. He couldn't even get that blatant trip call. Decades of bull sh*t. :( The league is an absolute joke. Only way for the Suns to win the game is to hit their shots. We can kill teams in the paint (almost double them), double their fast break points, shoot 50%, and out rebound the other team, all on our home court, and still lose by a smaller margin than the free throw differential. :banghead:

I had to double check but Nurkic has actually better numbers then Len this season. In 18 min Nurkic is averaging 7/6/1block while In 21 min Len averages 6/6 but wuth more blocks. Both extremely young centers and will only improve.

So if We had a different owner do you believe we'd get more calls? I seriously hate our owner and so does every other teams owner and the talks between Stern and Silverman about Sarver must of not been pleasant at all. :lol:

Points in the paint and free throws don't always go hand in hand. The Suns are fast break team which means more uncontested layups which count for points in the paint. So add that to crap loads of three point shots and you have the reciepe for few free throws.

Now guards that attack the rim should get more free throw opportunities. IT certainly got lots of them. Dragic and Bledsoe don't. Not sure why. Maybe because they complain too much and haven't been all-star. IT didn't seem to whine at the refs all the time.

Alex Len is so impressive. Gets off the ground quickly for a big. One thing that I've liked about Knight (so far) is that he seems under control.
