Shaq and Awe 2.0

This evening, the Suns put a smackdown on the Nets, 114 to 86. What was encouraging was the fact they shot 77% in the 1st half, including 93% in the 2nd quarter (13 of 14). Turnovers, though, are still a problem.

Here's the thing.. the Suns are a rhythm team, and Steve Nash is a rhythm player, depending on timing and everybody moving to the right place on the floor, at the right time, in order to make some plays almost automatic. During the Nash era, it has usually taken the Suns at least 10 games to get into full sync. That the Suns were able to put up this kind of performance, this early in the season, should have the rest of the league watching nervously.

I don't think we've seen the best of the Suns offense, yet this year. In my mind, they're just warming up. This could be really good.
