Wash, Rinse & Repeat....




I am not actually talking about cleaning clothes or dishes. I am talking about the Suns Offense.

It may sound blasphemous to say that the Suns do not have a great offense. The Numbers sure predict otherwise.

What I have come to notice is that the Suns offense has become too predictable and that could be the reason for many of our 4Th Quarter losses.

Its pretty Simple actually and the genius is in its simplicity.

Nash Brings the ball up court. Nash has control of the ball just beyond the 3-Point Line. Someone sets a pick. Nash uses it to get free / create passes or takes his own shot.

If the other team has defended the pick well, Nash lets go of the ball and goes back out to the 3-Point Line and repeats the process.

I know that this has been our offense since the age of FATHER TIME.

But it really wouldn't hurt to have someone step up and create plays for the team at least 20-25% of the time Nash is on the floor.

The opposition realizes that their only chance is to trap NASH. As Impossible as that sounds, they are successful a few times and that costs us the game.

 

Feed on This - Nash has 599 Assists so far - The Team has a total of 1156 Assists - Nash provides an effective 51.82% of the teams assists.(I have reduces the Assists of Turk/Clark/J-rich for the season and kept Carter/Pietrus/Gortat)

The Second highest is Dragic who has played almost half the Min compared to Nash - 145 Assists. If you double it to match pt, We get 290 Assists. And anyway he is rarely on the floor with Nash.

Hill has similar PT to Nash and has provided a mere 125 Assists. (Blasphemy again). He is Second Highest on the list.

Either way, my inner SCOTT say that we may not make the playoffs in this stretch run, unless someone other than Nash Steps Up in this department.

Oh Yeah, Nash is still a Genius.........and I hope he proves me wrong.
