Shaq's 1st game for Phoenix?

Anyone know when he'll make his debut for the Suns?

There was talk of today's game against Golden State but I don't think he'll play tomorrow and just take the extra week off over the All star break.

ESPN have said after the All-Star game.

Originally scheduled for the next day or so against the Mavs, but pulled the plug on that.

Next week now hopefully.

They lost today Vs's the Warriors

Nash couldnt play D to save himself

Lets hope for the Suns come playoff time they

A. Have a Fit Dominant Shaq in the Paint or

B. Shoot 50+% from the field each game

Or they will be screwed

Fezlington WHAT!?

Im not gonna say Nash is a brilliant lock-down defender, but I made it a priority of mine to watch Nash guard on/off ball (becuase of our previous argument) and he was fine! He played Monta pretty well he just hit some fucking tough shots and has that quick pull up he was knocking down, even with Nash all over him (which he was). He is also very active on his help defense and guarded the pick and roll just fine.

Seriously, why do you have this thing against Nash...I dont think its as strong as people lead on..and how about how he kept them in the game? How about how he tried his ass off for 40 minutes and made some amazing plays late in the game...sheez...

I want everyone who puts this defense thing on him to watch the Suns/Mavs game tomorrow and PLEASE point out these horrible defensive errors he makes so you can put some actual evidence and proof to these words.

I agree with Jules. Nash isn't a brilliant defender but that doesn't make him terrible. At the same time though, the guys from ESPN are always talking about it so I dunno. They're always gonna find something wrong though.

The guys on ESPN always have Nash as their number 1 point guard to ;) So whilst they might think that (and its usually only Bill Walton, who is a clown, thankyou Shaq for putting him in his place), they still all agree he is the best PG (including Paul) which is how this argument came about in the first place.

And my offer stands, please point out the defensive flaws in tomorrows game

Monta Ellis scored 37 points and Baron Davis made three straight baskets down the stretch to send the Warriors into the break with a win against the Western Conference's top team, 120-118 over the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday night.

Says a lot about Nash's D. Ellis went for 18-27FG

Those are stats...as I said I closely watched Nash on D

"played Monta pretty well he just hit some very tough shots and has that quick pull up he was knocking down, even with Nash all over him (which he was)"

And those three straight buckets...1 was a turnaround, fadeaway shot with a hand smuthering his face, the other was the same except a step back (theres no D for those shots) and the other was a fast break lay up that had nothign to do with Nash, in fact Nash put his body on the line to try draw a charge but was called for standing inside the circle (unluckily in my opinion)

i think cos nash is a back to back mvp winner his defence its criticised and judged harshly

Monta Ellis is shooting 70% over his last 6 games averaging close to 30ppg.
