the suns had the same players minus nash last year, and didn't even make the playoffs. they added nash, and they finished with the best record in the nba.

that's just wrong. not only did they add Q's 15ppg and a third of a season from amare (who's at the age where he should be progressing rapidly) but they basically tanked the season by trading their backcourt (penny and marbury) and signing a new one in free agency. barbosa and jacobsen's minutes dropped too. the improvement that came was largely because they ditched the team they had midseason and played bums. shaq was traded (so his old team actually GOT something in return) and they still went in the tank. nash left w/o replacement and they STILL didn't miss a beat. i don't get it.
