Forget all that advanced scouting and numbers and technology let's use the Eye Test as that never lies like the "Eye in the Sky". Talking Phoenix Suns trio of guards called the "Valley of the Sun" Triplets in Slovenia's Goran Dragic dba the Dragon, Birmingham, Alabama's Eric Bledsoe dba "Birmingham Baron, and Tacoma, Washington's Isaiah Thomas. What did they do on this night well ask Team Dinosaurs from beautiful Toronto, Ontario.
The "Valley of the Sun" Triplets accounted for 56 of the Suns 129 points in a lopsided 129-105 "W" over a then 24-9 Atlantic division leading Raptors bunch. They also combined to shoot from deep 6 for 10 with fourteen assists, nine boards, and eight thefts. I know this Raptors five-star Point God Kyle Lowry had to be thinking he was playing the West All-Star Team at guard.
Toronto for starters came in with running shoes and at US Airways Center in downtown Phoenix with those guards that is a not paying attention to the scouring report or what you heard. Phoenix was up 70-53 at intermission and never looked back on their way to winning by 16.
Lithuanian "Big" Jonas Valanciunas led the Dinosaurs with 21 points grabbing ten boards. K.L. brought his A-Game and he will do that for 82 if he can added 19 points and seven boards. The Raptors fall to 24-10 while the Suns in the packed west moves to 20-16.
Note: I wonder if Suns SG Gerald Green ( who appears to be on the outside looking in) will be available for the taking at the NBA Trade Deadline come February 2015?
