-that 05/06 team literally featured one guy maximum in the paint...Nash could go wherever the hell he wanted
-Nash has lost a step or two since that year...he was making some ridiculously acrobatic finishes, causing Clyde to yell "STEVE NASH WILL NOT BE DENIED!"
-Eddie House was pretty good for us that year! He could hit his open shots, and actually wasn't terrible as a point guard.
-really, that wide open lane and spacing made for some incredibly efficient offense; we were down by 13 at one point, but late in the fourth with like 40 seconds left I think crawford misses a shot, Nash, House and Marion start running the break w/o calling a timeout. Nash gets in the lane b/c nobody's clogging it up, throws it up, and Marion slams home the lob. thrilling stuff...it was marion's second alley oop of the quarter that I saw. Marion was such a beast.
-Boris Diaw was a lot skinnier back then, but his court vision doesn't seem like it's changed
-Kurt Thomas was great for us. Played tough D, rebounded, threw OUTLET PASSES(i forgot he did that), and flopped, which is okay if you're on my team
-James Jones really was useless that year...weird how he exploded once he went to Portland
-Pat Burke was a good rebounder, but dude kept getting rookie calls

"I can say with a large degree of certainty that this game was one of the more blatant fixes. That Phoenix vs. New York game was a game that I was told was bet by the crew associated with [alleged Donaghy co-conspirator James "Baa Baa"] Batista, it was also a game where Phoenix shot 14 free throws in regulation and New York shot 36."
