I have been watching the Suns a great deal, and I hear a lot of resentment towards Nash for his two MVP awards and the fact that he doesn't deserve them. And when he is out of the lineup the Suns struggle to win games even with two All-Stars, Diaw and Barbosa, and Raja Bell in their lineup. I see how easy he makes the game for everyone, and often wonder where the knicks would be if we had the following starting lineup. Nash/Nate Crawford Richardson/Balkman Lee Curry/Frye And as crazy as it sounds I think we would easily win the Atlantic division, and probably come away with as a four seed, David Lee would most likely be averaging 17pts 11rbs, Curry would get 3 more easy baskets a game and Richardon and Crawford would get open three pointers and Jamal would be extremly effective shooting good shots...... Am I crazy?

I don't know where you hear a lot of resentment. Nash is an unbelievable player. I voted for number two but I think the Suns are built for Nash which takes them to the next level. Maybe if we traded Curry for and elite SF and had Frye play our center. Then, yes we'd be a contender.

I think we'd win our division, where we'd go after that, I don't know. Depends on the matchup. This team isn't built to run.

I think without Curry we have a ton of people that can run

Nate, Crawford, Balkman, Lee, Q

agreed... we have plenty of guys who can run the floor & finish... the problem is we don't have the guys who can create defensive stops & block shots on the other end that leads to fastbreaks going back the other way.
After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

In other words 'we have no' defense'!
I'll never trust this' team again.
