I know I should just let this go, but ...

The argument against my position regarding Steve Nash essentially boiled down to this, "he makes his teammates better." And, yes, I know the Suns have dropped two games since he got hurt, but they also dropped one on Thursday when he played 39 minutes, and were losing by 11 to Indiana when Austin Croshere smacked him in the thigh.

Well, with all that in mind, here's Amare Stoudemire's ppg until Nash got hurt in the Pacers' game on Saturday

26.0

And here's Amare's ppg in the two games where Nash has been missing:

26.0

Food for thought.

Sonics club Cavs, 105-97

Vlad-DUNK!

The Supes overcame the absence of Rashard Lewis to beat Cleveland 105-97 last night at the Key.

Before the season, this match-up looked like it was going to be a real crapfest: the worst of the east vs. the worst of the west. Instead, it was the first place Sonics (!) taking on the first place Cavs (!!) in a battle of two of the best teams in the NBA.

Seattle was led by Ray Allen's 27 points while Vladidunk Radmanovic (whom I stupidly cut from my fantasy team) had 23 points (5-7 from behind the arc) and 11 rebounds off the bench.

Paging Dr. Lewis

Quote of the Year nomination from Rashard Lewis:

"Before this I always thought tendinitis was a (lame) injury,” Lewis said. “It just sounds like a (lame) injury, doesn’t it? Tendinitis.”

Anybody else wondering what Lewis said in place of "lame?"
