Last year, who had the best plus/minus in the game? King LeBron, who, therefore, was indeed the Most Valuable Player. When naysayers dismiss Nash as an undeserving 2-time MVP, they get too caught up in how well-rounded the ball player is and not to what he contributes to the team. Nash is the man. When Nash and LB play together, the Suns are near unbeatable. They know each other’s every move and both play for the love of the game and to get wins. Last night, Nash had a better plus minus than any other starter because he was at his best with J-Dud and the Brazilian Blur.

Nobody beats the Trail Blazers in Portland, except, THIS TIME, the Suns. Gentry responded to Portand’s going back to its entire starting five, when they obviously wanted to win the game. Suns response? Gentry, who wants to give 4th-quarter playing time to his subs and even scrubs, postured back. Gentry went for the “W” this time. He closed out the game with his best. Only his best 3 starters and his 2 superb subs (J-Dud and the Brazilian Blur). This has proven to be, by far, his BEST team. Suns should start the SAME five. Will give us MORE WINS!!!! Mercury are 2-time champs playing small ball. Suns almost got the ring in 2007 – they WERE the best team that year. Suns can surprise most folks and other teams this year ONLY if we know which players to play. Don’t want to panic but it’s obvious that Tragic will cause us to LOSE. Ship him off to Iowa. Keep Dickau and let Nash’s back up be LB. Start and finish games with a back court (as in our closing team vs. Portland) of LB and Nash. What a combo they are!!!! Suns should start and finish with: 1) Nash; 2) LB; 3) J-Dud; 4) Hill (or the other way around at the 3 and 4); and 5) STAT. This small ball team will blow away our opponents early and late. LB has amazing stamina and could play 40 minutes per game EASY. J-Rich can become 6th Man of the Year. Rest of our 2nd unit can be Earl, Louis, and Frye (a 9-man rotation). Love Tucker’s potential (former Big Ten Player of the Year over Greg Oden in his #1 overall pick draft year) and would like to find a way to give him regular playing time. Suns should limit the rest of the team to slop time, unless a key player gets hurt. Play the guys who give us our best (plus/minus) shot each game.

MUST start and ALSO finish with LB. Let’s go SUNS!!!!
