Didn't we beat the Grizz with a Grant Hill inbounds lob at the buzzer to J-Rich a few years back?

I love that Dudley was there for both of these inbound ally-oops.

I'm all for racking up the losses however this win was special. Bender with the assist and Chandler with the dunk

Mother of God the basketball IQ of this team... Len flagrant, Chriss going up again instead of burning the clock.. giving an and1

Yet our 'bench' Center is still able to outperform all three of Toronto's Centers...

http://bkref.com/tiny/XIQQM

...in a multitude of areas such as Assts per game (yeah, those 'dumb' IQ guys, that's all they know how to do is feed other scorers) and PFs (funny, how low BBIQ, equates to low # of PF committed...oh, wait...)..anyway. plus other areas like TRB, FTr (so he not only commits fewer fouls, but also gets to the line at a clip of nearly 50% more often then his next closest competitor...yeah, another true indication of poor BBIQ).

Len also has a higher PER, TRB%, Asst%, and OWS than the other 3. That's just one 'dumb' bench Center against your entire Center core, which includes a recent top 9 selection and ALSO a Top 5 selection in Valanciunas. Well, how can that be???

Maybe, just maybe Len is better than advertised, and he has just been a product of poor management coaching by the Suns, and despite all of this, he's still pretty darn good, and finally coming into his own.

Or maybe, this is a case of poor F(Fan)BBIQ, since in a later post, you chose to point out our better prospects...Bender, Len, and Jackson...as being 'wasted' lotto picks, rather than the more likely true wasted pick of Chriss, but since you watched the ONE Sun's game this season he hasn't looked completely lost, you chose to leave him out of your expert analysis on how terrible the two 20 YOs, who have played a combined less amount of games than Chriss has, yet fail to mention Chriss. Oh that's right, Chriss had a good game...for once, this season... ...

Yup. Fans who watch every game their team plays cannot possibly be as objective as the out of town troll who watches one game and forms an opinion.

You should know that Nav!

touche'

But honestly...he watches one game, and forms his entire opinion about our 'youth movement' on that one performance. At least as biased as we areas Suns fans, we at least know what the heck we are talking about...to a point, of course...but a heck of a lot more than he does.

And we might be biased against other teams' youth, but when comparing our own youth, against each other, we really have little bias for one against another. I don't 'like' Bender more than Chriss...I don't 'like' Warren more than Jackson, but I DO recognize which ones provide more 'bang for the buck'.

I can also recognize that Bender and JJ haven't even played as many games total added combined, as Chriss has played, yet Bender/Jackson get treated like busts...yet Chriss has one good game that he happens to wacth, and he's not listed as one of the busts, even though most of us feel if there is ANY bust on this roster, it's 'likely' Chriss...not definite, of course...he's looked pretty good the last 5 games over all; shooting 59%-2PT/43%-3PT, while avg'ing 6.8 TRB/1.4 Assts.

Point is, aside from these last 5 games, Bender/Jackson have looked better than Chriss, yet some random fan from another team comes in to tell us that all of our young guys suck, except for the one guy who has...

...yet Len, who has looked better than ever...
...Jackson, who has shot .500 from 3 his last 5 games, and nearly 10 PPG on less than 20 MPG...
...Bender, in his last 25 games, shot FG% 43%, 3PT% of 42.4%...

...and then of course, there's a couple of guys named Warren and Booker who already rate in the top 5-7 at their position...which gets me on another topic,for another post...
