Independent Journalism in Phoenix Needs You
We need to raise $15,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
Steve Nash might not be long for the Valley. Fact is, the Phoenix Suns are a cut below the top teams in the NBA, and 36-year-old star point guards don’t usually fit well into the plans of rebuilding teams. With all of the rumors of the star baller leaving Phoenix – either via trade or for a career in politics – it’s possible that Nash will play his last game as a Sun before the winter ends.
Tonight’s game between the Suns and the Los Angeles Clippers at US Airways Center is a perfect opportunity to appreciate Nash’s talents while they’re still here. The Clippers have been terrible at defending the three-point shot, and their transition defense has been almost nonexistent at times. In other words, the Clippers are exactly the sort of team that Nash has made a career out of abusing.
