He's a perfectly capable back-up C. We'd be just as good with him getting all of Len's minutes right now.

If williams was 3 inches taller hed be a beast. His game is so unorthodox its fun to watch.

I'd be better with alan than committing big money to Len.

That's a really difficult shot Booker just made look easy. A floater in the lane coming off a screen full speed w/ out stopping.

I want 30 seconds of a 5 PG lineup just for fun.

Best game the Suns have played outside of that Cleveland nail biter. I will be really disappointed if the Sauce doesn't get more chances now. I want him to get minutes next time we play against the Memphis bigs. Chriss' numbers don't pop but he played really well tonight. 2-3 of his fouls were suspect at best. I enjoyed watching a win. We'll still get a top 3 pick, don't worry tankers.

Calling a Ukranian Russian probably wouldn't go over very well.

Why? He played just like this when given minutes while Tyson was gone. Double-doubles in 2 games in November where he got over 17 minutes. Then never given double digit minutes again until tonight. He'll go back to DNP.

I'm a huge tank advocate but I am not going to lie, I enjoyed this win a lot. I absolutely hate the Bulls with a passion so I loved seeing our guys blow these fools out.

When was the last time Len played as well as Sauce did tonight? Seriously.

That was his best game of the season. I'm aware he has played good in his sparse minutes. He had a 19.0 PER going into tonight.

Everyone seems to be comparing Williams To Len. How about we look at chandler instead?

I'd rather pay Len 16 mil a year than Chandler 13 mil a year and I'd rather have Len as a starter and Williams as a backup than Chandler as a starter with Suace of the bench.

Len has defended a lot better than Chandler this season and although he's been slow to develop, I'm more confident will Len be improving his game over the next few years than i am with Chandler.

Williams is a RFA this summer.

If he gets significant consistent minutes there's a good chance someone tenders him a healthy offer sheet. 6'9", little vertical, uber enthusiasm and hustle- hard to compute his value in an open market.
