Yup, things look dire.

I'll be the first to say that its NOT 'shaq and the suns'. Its the Suns. Shaq was brought in to provide presence and rebounding - and he's been doing both. He's also been scoring points the few times he's trusted with the ball.

Steve Nash, our apparent MVP, has been turning the ball over a huge amount (6 times last night!) and they just aren't shooting well (before Allstar break they were a constant 55% or more shooting team), now they are struggling to hit 50%.

They don't seem to care. Last night, the only players showing any kind of effort throughout were Shaq and Amare Stoudemire (who has been GREAT since Shaq joined) - but the two of them can't win games.

Gah. We went from first in the West to a potential 7th in the West if we drop any more games. If we lose a few in a row we could drop out of the playoffs spot complete.
