It looks like father time is starting to wear down on the Phoenix Suns’ 36-year-old point guard, Steve Nash.  Nash is still playing at a high level and has only missed two games this season, but his back has been noticeably bothering him and his production has dropped over the past two months.  In the first few months of the season, Nash was putting up some really great offensive numbers.  In November he averaged 15.8 points and 11.8 assists; In December he averaged 20.5 points and 10.2 assists; In January he averaged 18.2 points and 11 assists.  However, in the past two months Nash’s scoring has really dropped off.  The bad back is the main reason why, as he is getting less minutes and it he has been playing through pain so his shooting percentage has really dropped off.  In February he only averaged 13.5 points, but still dished out 11.7 assists per game.  So far this month Nash is only averaging 12.2 points, but is still dropping 10.6 dimes per game.  Nash doesn’t need to score a ton of points for the Suns to be successful and it is a good sign that he is still racking up great assists numbers.  It does make you wonder how many years Nash has left and if his back will hurt him and the Suns in this year’s playoffs.
