Jamison has actually been pretty decent defensively.

He can shoot and he's a good defender. I still think most of his easy misses are nerves and getting adjusted to those trees in the paint that you don't see in college basketball.

I'd give him half a season of regular minutes before judging him properly.[/quote]

I am simply talking about running the point. If I was him, I'd use my speed to penetrate and create for the stars on the team. I would not look to shoot unless they were bunnies or leak outs. With Nash healthy, he will get limited minutes. The role I can envision him playing, is that of defending some of the quick small point guards that typically kill us (Parker, CP3, Westbrook, Lawson, etc). If he can stay in front of them, he could get some key minutes and earn his keep. He must limit his TOs though.

Excellent stretch by the bench unit. They extended the lead and managed to make that Kobe effort meaningful.

Much props to Jordan Hill.

Morris really does play well defensively... he disrupt a lot of shots from guards with his frame/long arms.. and he's very active too with his hands.

Hopefully Nash and D'Antoni will be able to help with his O. If he just learned to be "average" offensively he'd be a great back up PG for us.

Is Taco Bell behind the D'Antoni hiring? I don't think the crowd is gonna get free tacos anytime soon.

I seriously think the reign of Steve Blake is over!!
Morris is a good back up for Steve Nash!

The Suns loaded up with Dragic, Scola and Beasley. All players that historically play well against us. Good strategy imho..
Sometimes being wrong is awesome!!! :D
