Steve Nash Not Exactly Optimistic

45

This story got a lot of play around the NBA world for the Nash quote about not picking the Suns to be in the playoffs. But really I think the point is his continued frustration with just how far this team stepped back from last year and having to adjust his own expectations. I don't even think he's blaming anyone as much as just working things out in his own mind. He's not saying they can't figure it out, but having seen the team play in preseason he and pretty much everyone else in that locker room knows they have a lot of work to do. It's fine to remain hopeful, but right now the vibe from the Suns isn't confidence as much as uncertainty.
