The Suns played defense, guys. They just weren't very good at it. Raja Bell, and Kurt Thomas were brought in for defensive purposes and did well, except for how Kurt Thomas missed some time. Shawn Marrion was very underrated as a defender, as he could guard twos, threes, and fours. When he guarded fours, it just made him more dangerous on the offensive end. Steve Nash has never been a good defender, and as his injuries piled up, he became a liability.
Also, Nash should not have won two straight MVP's. I have to say this.
