After my team went down in possibly the most embarrassing upset in NBA playoff history I have to finally admit something. Cuban screwed up by letting Nash walk.
I realize this isn't something I have to convince you Suns faithful of, but as a hardcore Mavs fan I've been in denial since that day Nash went back to Phoenix.
I was one of those who kept saying he was gonna break down physically, or that he was too big of a liability on defense. Well, I couldn't have been more wrong!
Now the Mavs organization is having to regroup after a 67 win season, but being ousted in the first round by #8 seed Golden State. One of the biggest reasons is no point guard. The Harris/Jet combo is a failure in my opinion, and now we're looking at possibly one of the greatest point guards to play the game taking the Suns into the next round, and a possible championship.
I don't know if Nash would've had the same success had he stayed in Dallas. His supporting cast in Phoenix is tailor made for the skills he possses, with slashers and finishers at the rim. The Mavs just don't possess those type players, but there's no doubt he'd still be successful and a huge upgrade over what they have now.
I'll admit I've disliked the Suns since Nash has been there, but it really isn't about dislike of Nash himself or even the Suns organization. I've finally come to grips with the fact that it's been just plain ole jealousy. Yeah, I'm pissed off that one of the great point guards to ever play the game use to play for my favorite and they let him walk away. Now I hope he finally gets a ring to prove what a stupid mistake that was.
