maybe important when you are short on weed.


Nowitzki is the owner of the mavs

[jack sommerset]

Nash is past his prime.

Suns are still and always will be a small ball team...that Shaq aint gonna work. That pick n roll with Nash and Amare that used to eat the mavs alive isnt there anymore bc Shaq is in the paint. I'll take Amare shooting jumpers all day and Shaq missing 2 footers

For all of you who said it was a mistake to let Nash walk, this is what he looks like in a half-court system.

this is what Nash would have looked like under Avery

I remember after opening night against the Spurs, a lot of Suns fans were telling the rest of the forum to watch out this year....

Looking forward to seeing this lineup on the court.
Dampier
Nowitzki
Howard
Kidd
Barea. Kidd could be our missing 2 guard and share point guard duties with Barea.

I hope your not talking about tonight's game. Nash had 20 points on 7-11 shooting and 10 assists in three quarters.

I'm talking about the entirety of his work under Porter. And those are just numbers, I saw him play tonight with a tentativeness that was never there under Nellie or D'Antoni. And the spacing with your starters was off - it's just weird to watch PHX struggle offensively with that personnel.

Nash isn't the same player he was a couple years ago, but his decline has been overblown. The only category where his numbers are down is assists and he is still averaging eight a game.
