seems like the suns find themselves with alot fo guys who need the ball to be effective. Shaq, amare, jrich, Barbs, Grant hill, steve nash. The old arguement "there arent enough basketballs around" seems to apply big here. But did management not know that each player this group needed the ball to have an impact?

That's not the problem. The biggest problems on this team are coaching, defense, and rebounding. Has nothing to do with not enough basketballs around.

So the fact that the guy that you are running your offense through for a good part of the game has the lowest asst/game in the rotation(shaq, 1.7 a game doesnt bother you? LB, "the black hole" dishes more in less minutes. The nba leading(by a mile) turnover totals dont bother you? Why do you think the suns make SO MANY turnovers. Hint, its not defense or rebounding: they are all standing around watching the guy with the ball, so its easy to shut down the passing lanes and the spacing sucks because of inconsistent perimeter play. Yeah, the defense is pretty bad, but the rebounding is about even with opponents, on average.

Again, and again, and again, defense, rebounding and coaching are the major problems on this team. Period.

And gimme a break about LB. We wouldn't be in ANY game for the past 2 weeks were it not for him. He is CLEARLY our best player since the start of the new year.
