Phoenix Suns are shooting the ball great this year

The Phoenix Suns have been known for their Steve Nash led offense for a while now, but this year they have stepped it up a notch.  Not only is Nash shooting the ball extremely well from the field and from three, but the whole team seems to be following suit.  They are shooting 49% from the field as a team and an outstanding 43.8% from three as a team.  They have seven players shooting 39% or better from behind the arc, and five of them are shooting 44% or better from there.  These are very impressive numbers but it is very early in the season still, so don’t expect this all year.  I still expect the strong shooting to continue all season, just not at this rate.  Most of this is due to Nash finding wide open shots for his teammates by either leading the Suns on fastbreaks or driving deep into the defense and kicking it out.  Nash is shooting a great percentage himself, 50.7% from the field and 44.7% from three.  This is a very fun team to watch and they really know how to put points on the board with an average of 110.4 points per game.
