Phoenix Suns article request
I would be very interested in seeing an article regarding the Suns defense since the acquisition of Shaq. I actually thought the trade was a great move for the Suns, but if there was any question about it, it was about how Shaq would affect the Sun's offense. I don't think anyone anticipated what would happen to the Suns defense, which was suspect as is. But since the trade, the Suns have gone from 104 ppg allowed to 112 ppg allowed in Shaq's six games. And I hate it when people do this, but if you take away the Boston game (77 pts allowed), this figure jumps to 120. And of course, this corresponds with a 2-4 record. If you are a Suns fan, this has to be alarming.
Please understand, I am not taking a dig at the Suns--my Mavs are having their own problems. I am simply astonished by what has happened defensively in Phoenix, and am equally astonished that this is getting little to no attention. I would sincerely welcome an article that explains/critiques/whatever this unforeseen turn of events from someone closer to the team than myself.
