Feeling grouchy today. Parker/Brooks: averaged 30 points and combined for 22 assists and 12 turnovers. Nash: averaged 27.5 points and went for 24 assists, to go with 4 turnovers. Point being: Can Nash play defense? No. Does he still out-do most other point guards he plays against? Yes. Joke all you want, but Nash accounted for exactly .5 less of a point in each game that he played than his opponents this weekend. And he turned the ball over drastically fewer times. But feel free to overuse jokes. Oh yea, I just wanted to address some Steve Nash hate. Feeling grouchy today.

T-Mac has never been, and never will be, the key to a good team. Hi.

The Suns are without arguably their best player, and they're 4-6 in their last 10 games...which is a game better than the 7th seed Denver Nuggets, who are 3-7 in that span. PS, the Nuggets are already behind the Trailblazers, who are missing...no one from their core? Why are they ripe for a late season lapse? Especially considering that they're 7-3 in their last 10 games? Cmon, now. Also, don't know if anyone noticed that the Bobcats have the second longest winning streak in the league right now. 6 games, behind Utah's 11. They're with Indiana, New Jersey, and Milwaukee as being less than .030 percentage points behind Chicago for the 8th seed. Just a head's up.

I'd drop Shaq b/c of free throws, and put Duncan on the second list. Arenas may be in the second list too, but he's been hurt so long who knows.
