Hello,
I have been reading several posts from Dallas fans on the espn message boards about how they do not miss nash because he is awful at defense. They say Terry and Harris are better at defense and that Nash destroyed them on the defensive end of the court last year. They say the Mavs defense is a lot better this year.
I have not heard any Phoenix fans complain about Steve Nash's defense this year. So is his defense really that bad? Have opposing point guards scored a ton of points against Nash this year? This year Dallas and Phoenix are giving up about the same amount of points per game, but phoenix is scoring much more than Dallas. So what is the big deal? Steve's defense has not stood out to me as great, but I have not noticed horrible defense either.
