If Nash doesn't have to play defense, he will carve up ANY team in the NBA. MAKE HIM PLAY DEFENSE and we have a chance to wear him down, especially late in the game. Whoever Nash is guarding, get him the ball!!
The Big Question...who will stop Nash tonight???

Agreed, but Phoenix isn't stupid, they do a great job hiding Nash in their pseudo 2-3 zone. Best way to attack Nash defensively is in transition - which you know Utah doesn't want to get into a track meet, but the Jazz are at their best when they push the ball at home and feed off the crowd. So if we can get stops (which goes back to our screen-roll defense), we need to look to push the ball at Nash and the Suns where they can't set up their zone in transition.

NOT true at all! You have a 24 second clock. You can deny Nash the ball for 10-14 seconds and that only leaves him 10-14 seconds to set up the pick and roll. But players don't want to put forth the effort to deny the ball. IT CAN be done! Harris use to do it.....until they started paying him too much money!

Well, Harris played an excellent game both offensively and defensively! His big 3 point shots were crucial.....and he was hounding Nash whenever he played him. Of course, Jefferson was still our MVP last night. But overall, it was a team effort and Harris was a big part of that effort!
