No Nash More Problems in Phoenix

The value of any NBA team depends on the presence of a good point guard. We have seen that through the years and that is why perhaps Steve Nash is one of the premier and most sought after point guards in the NBA today. But before he can weave his magic, he needs to get healthy as his absence is severely hurting the Suns’ cause, the last of which was a road loss to the New Jersey Nets, 104-91.

Prior to that, the Suns had also fallen to the Miam Heat, Shaquille O’ Neal’s former team. Nash is out with a thigh injury and it looks like it may take time to heal. He has been out of commission since their game at Miami. Sean Singletary replaced him for the meantime but the shoes are simply too big to fill.

Their next game is against the New Orleans Hornets. But reports have it that while Nash will continue to sit it out due to the flu while the Diesel, Shaquille O’ Neal will sit it out as well. Shaq has made a practice of sitting out a game in stretches when the Suns have two games in two nights.
