I agree. Nash weakness is his D but at his age he is still a good playmaker he still average 11 assist per game.

The most impressive part is he only shot 21 times and made all 15 of his FTs

Shaq puts up 29 points and 11 boards in the Suns win over the Bucks last night. Shaq still has some fuel in his tank.

Another W for the Suns tonight over the Memphis Grizzlies. Can that Gasol guy call Chris Kaman and get some advice on cutting that hair? Nasty!

did u watch the game? i just followed the scores. it was closer than i would have liked. what happened when they gave up the 12 point lead real quick toward the end of the game?

I have 2 tvs in my family room and had the Cardinals vs. 49ers with the volume on so I wasn't listening to the Suns game, but just glancing at the game in between plays on the Cardinals game.

I think they lost the lead when Nash came out and Dragic came in. I'm going to read the articles today and I'll tell you if I find anything different.

Here's your answer:

"Mayo scored 19 points in the fourth quarter as the Grizzlies wiped out a 17-point lead that the Suns held in the final minute of the third quarter. But Suns' reserves could not get defensive stops, and Memphis came back and took the lead twice in the final four minutes."

Shaq vs Yao up next on ESPN.

I think Houston is going to be beastly by the end of the season. McGrady hasn't been in game shape or healthy enough to make much of a difference this year. Once he gets into shape and somewhat healthy, they have some serious ammo.

he's had arthroscopic knee surgery and shoulder surgery in the off-season. He sat out the entire pre-season (maybe played a few minutes) but is visibly out of shape. He was 1-11 the other night. I'm not sure he's gone ver 30 minutes any night this year either.

Artest seems to be playing pretty well, and Yao is very good. It may take some time for them to all get on the same page, but by the end of they year I think they will be a bitch on an out for any team in the postseason.
