Are we forgetting about the acquisition of Richardson? Or the fact that Amare progressed further AND missed 1/3 of last season? I'm telling you, with those other four guys on the floor, you could put any of the top 5 point guards in the league in Nash's position, and they would do just as well. He's a good player, but he is NOT MVP calibur.
Pheonix's scoring is much higher this year not only because of they way the team plays, but the way touch fouls have been called on the perimeter. That has lead a lot of teams to have higher scoring averages, if you haven't noticed.

quentin richardson wasn't helping the clippers to win a ton of games. should we use the same analogyy that was used in nash's case and say the clippers finished with a better record this year without richardson, so richardson obviously isn't a factor?!?!?
