It happened again. Steve Nash and the Sun's elimination from the playoffs produced a nation-wide question: Why doesn't Nash, a two time MVP, get blamed when his team loses early? Well, that is not only a stupid question; it is an easily answered one. First, last season wasn't Nash's fault. They didn't have Amare, and last I checked they still did pretty damn good. Second, this season was Robert Horry's fault. He single handedly gave the Suns their exit tickets, and you can thank the NBA for that. The suspensions of Stoudamire and Diaw were ridiculous. But I don't want to focus on the Suns. I don't want to take it one step further and say," Nash? What about Shaq and D-Wade?" I don't even want to begin to dissect the many reasons why those two stars were heavily responsible for a drastic collapse and sweep by the hands of the younger Chicago Bulls. Wait, yes I do.
