Why was Nash in and not Barnes with only a second left on defense, another Terry Porter special. Whoever wants to put Shaq on the bench is an idiot, he has been the teams 2nd best player after Amare. Nash is finished; old pg’s with no athleticism to begin with, fade fast

@Brown — I know where you’re going, but it is Nash’s fault that he can’t play D. It is, however, on Porter to recognize that and adjust. Granted, you don’t want to do like Mike Dunleavy and put somebody who’s ice-cold (Tucker) in the game (remember Daniel Ewing?) for one play, but you could have gone with Barnes.
Also, Nash more threw himself into the scorer’s table. That was a major flop.

Why was Nash on the floor?

There’s never ever ever any reason Nash should be on the defensive end of the floor at the end of a game. Shit, Alando Tucker is a better defensive option than Nash! It’s not Nash’s fault he can’t play D, it’s Porter’s fault for not realizing it and making adjustments.

In two years, the current Suns roster will be nothing but a memory. Their window closed when Robert Horry slammed Nash in the scorer’s table.

FIRE PORTER. He made a mess of a good lineup (albeit troubled lineup) in Portland and he is mixing the same sh!t in Phoenix.

The difference between a contested jumper and an open jumper is crystal clear. Tall guys are waaaaaay better at contesting J’s than shorter guys cause ya know…they are taller.

I’m pretty sure that they are taller than Nash though. amirite?

I’d stop now after proclaiming that Nash is a better defender than Barnes and Lopez. Since when did Nash ever play D?

I’m still blaming Porter for that one. Correct me if i’m wrong, you got Amare, Hill, Richardson, Barbosa (what in the hell was he doing there?), and Nash on the floor…for one friggin defensive play.

You got Lopez’s goofy ass sitting on the bench (shaq was out). And Barnes on the bench. All longer, and taller than Barbosa and Nash. And over Nash is where the winning shot came from.

There was no chance for a rebound and quick score. Unless Porter was looking to get a steal (laughable in PHX) and bucket…there was no reason what so ever for Nash to even be in there.
