That shot he hit at the buzzer right before the 1st or 2nd quarter was just sick. He takes a 35ft jumper and it was just effortless. I love watching that guy play. He is just sick speed wise and can pull up and drill it from anywhere.
The phx suns lose Amare for a season and they don't miss a beat. Without Tmac we aren't very good and you could argue Amare is better then Tmac so I think Nash is the mvp. You can take pretty much anyone except him off the suns and I bet they are still successful.
IMHO success is measured in playoffs. And to give an MVP to a guy like Nash is (again IMHO) just plain silly. The guy plays only on one end of the floor and having giving him MVP just sends the wrong message... I still remember Spurs-Suns series in 2005 playoffs when d'Antoni had to consistently put Joe Johnson on Parker to avoid having poor Stevie's ankles broken. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan of his (offensive) game but if Nash has two MVP's to his name, Jason Kidd should have no less than 5.
I'd rather have Yao on th floor than Tmac at this point. We were doing great without him during the last 6 games, but only problematic when closing out game. But we did well in the Spurs game and that's good enough to boost our confidence for the future games until Yao got hurt last night. But having Tmac back soon would be ok as long as no more injuries..
