I hope Nash doesn't try to do too much late in the game with how much energy he has expended.. I'd like to see most of our stuff going through Hill, Barnes, and then maybe Stoudemire and Leandro.
I see your point but w/out Shaq and Stat sitting Nash is going to have to be aggressive offensively in order to get this IMO.

Being aggressive looking for his shot is fine, but being aggressive over dribbling and trying to make something out of nothing is more what I'm worried about. He's just a turnover machine late in games when he's tired and he starts over dribbling.

But Hill is playing amazing, just feed that dude and let him work his mid range game.

Lopez -19
Amundson +13

What has Robin EVER done to merit getting any minutes at all? Just play Lou as long as he isn't in foul trouble if Shaq's out IMO. Even if it's 48 minutes, if that means no Lopez that's fine with me.

Shooting the basketball is exactly what i'm talking about.

Hills midrange jumper is great, he should take it more often when the Suns have problems scoring.

Say what you want about Amare but this team's offensive direction is beyond pathetic without him (and Shaq obviously).

Okay, its good that he's on the floor right now as well to "direct" the offense.

LB should have driven by Nene instead jump shooting it!

We lose games on transitional defense, yielding fastbreak pts under their def. pressure or stupid TOs. Nash is too slow now to break their pressure by dribbling into paint. And we have not prepared for good set alternatives when Shaq sits, to replace Nash's.

Barnes commits an offensive foul and picks up his 5th foul with about 6 1/2 minutes left in the 4th.
