In the Steve Nash era one issue you never had to worry about was the Phoenix Suns’ offense. Might this be changing right before our eyes?

Suns drop to 0-2, search to explain offensive struggles

In recent years, the Phoenix Suns have been known for, above all else, having an uptempo and elite offense. Win or lose, and no matter the season’s ultimate result, the team never struggled to score with Steve Nash running a descendant of Mike D’Antoni’s offense.

Last night, I watched my Sixers maul the worst Phoenix Suns team in recent memory. They’re just awful. Poor Steve Nash – after abusing Jrue Holiday the first handful of times down the court, disappeared into one of the least-effective performances of his career (four points on 2-11 shooting, one assist, six turnovers in 17 [...]

As expected (at least by myself) Sixers followed the bitter loss in Portland with a nice, wire-to-wire 83-103 W in Phoenix, and now lead the Atlantic at 1-1 (.500), LOL.Not much to recap after such game, the Suns were soundly outplayed in almost every aspect of the game.Suns starters, "led" by an unrecognizable Steve Nash combined for a pitiful 7/33 from the field, which...
