PHOENIX SUNS

Shutting down Nash could benefit the Suns

Steve Nash admitted that the Phoenix Suns’ season was pretty much over after Sunday night’s loss to the Dallas Mavericks.

“It feels like it’s over just because we haven’t played as well or won games,” the point guard soberly said. “It’s disappointing but it’s been disappointing the whole season.”

The only question left is should Nash play or should the Suns shut him down to not only let him heal but find out what they really have in Aaron Brooks and Zabian Dowdell?

If Nash has his way he won’t miss any time unless it’s absolutely necessary.
