If you only attempt 8-10 shots maybe Nash should be more aggressive.

Nash is a very efficient player, but one thing he is not is somebody who can easily create for himself.
Paul, Deron, Wade, Parker can all get into the lane on their own and create mismatches. To me this is one of Nash's most inherent flaws, which is his inability to breakdown one-on-one.

What are you talking about? Why do you think Amare gets so many easy points? Nash is constantly getting to the rim and drawing the defender. The only advantage Wade and Deron have is that they are bigger and can finish. Paul and Parker usually shoot a 6-7 foot floater that both have mastered.

It's not like Nash can't do certain things, it's just that he's smaller and worries more about setting up his teammates rather than scoring when he DOES get to the rim.

Nash is about like the modern incarnation of John Stockton. Stockton could always get to the rim it's just that he usually chose to pass it off to Malone or Eaton or something for a jam... much like Nash does with Stoudamire. It's not that either of them have a "flaw" and I've seen both take games over when they need to.

At least someone gets it. Well said ^_^

Amare, as a PF, had a total of 3 rebounds. Unbelievable. Is he ever going to learn to play some defense and grab those defensive rebounds?

Having Shaq might mean easier points for him in the post but not having Marion might mean his lack of defense gets exposed even more.

I'm talking about pure one-on-one abilities...

Nash can get to the rim, but usually with the pick n roll...and the same goes for Stockton.

Nash is sometimes underneath the basket and still passes.

Nash's percentages would drop if he took more shots in a half court setting.
