38-year old point guard Steve Nash is still playing at a high level despite his advanced age. Nash played in 8 games (all starts) for the Suns this year and he is averaging 28.8 minutes, 12.0 points, 1.8 rebounds and 9.8 assists on 50% shooting from the floor. Nash is still moving up the NBA’s all-time lists. He is now #6 in assists (9,330) in league history and he is also #10 in three point shots made (1,575). Nash has also passed up Mark Price for the all-time free throw % as he has hit 90.4% of them in his career so far. The Suns are probably going to have Nash start looking for his shot more in the near future.

The Suns shot 55.8% from the floor and they rushed out to a 91-66 after the first three quarters in this very, very easy win. Marcin Gortat (18 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocked shots on 9 of 10 shooting from the floor) and Channing Frye (16 points and 6 rebounds) led the way for the Suns in this game. Grant Hill (14 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist and 1 steal), Shannon Brown (14 points, 1 assist and 1 steal) and Markieff Morris (13 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocked shots in 30 minutes) also had solid games for the Suns last night. Jared Dudley (11 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal) and Steve Nash (10 points, 1 rebound, 7 assists and 1 steal) also pitched in for the Suns. The Suns are now 4-4 on the year.

The Suns outrebounded the Blazers 47-38 last night and they held them to a putrid 32.5% shooting from the floor, which were the big reasons for the win. Jared Dudley (18 points, 1 rebound, 3 assists, 3 steals and 1 blocked shot) and Steve Nash (17 points, 2 rebounds, 9 assists and 1 steal) led the way for the Suns in this game. Shannon Brown (14 points, 5 rebounds and 1 steal), Markieff Morris (13 points, 9 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 blocked shot), Marcin Gortat (12 points, 8 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 blocked shot) and Hakim Warrick (12 points and 3 rebounds in 24 minutes on the floor) also pitched in for the Suns. The Suns are now 3-4 on the year.

29-year old forward Hakim Warrick is amazingly leading the way for the Suns so far this year. Warrick has played in 5 games (0 starts) for the Suns so far this year and he is averaging 23.2 minutes, 12.8 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game. I don’t see Warrick leading the team in scoring too much longer, because for some reason, the Suns just don’t let the guy play enough. But look for Warrick to keep giving the Suns solid production off the bench.

The Suns were outrebounded last night 53-42 by the Mavericks and it cost them in this game. Marcin Gortat led the way for the Suns in this game with 22 points, 10 rebounds and 1 blocked shot. Steve Nash also had a very solid game as he finished up with 15 points, 4 rebounds, 12 assists and 3 steals. Grant Hill (14 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 blocked shot) and Jared Dudley (10 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal) also pitched in for the Suns last night. The Suns are now 2-4 on the year.
