A response to Kobe, Lakers ready to face Nash, Suns:
I keep hearing people ask "Which of the Suns is gonna keep up with Kobe?" "How're the Suns gonna cope with Kobe?" How come no one's asking "How're the Lakers gonna cope with Steve Nash?"
Geez! Two MVP-caliber seasons and the guy still can't get any credit! People still continue to underestimate what the guy can do on the court, and the influence that he can have on a game. I became a believer definitively last season after watching the Suns-Mavericks closing game; the guy was a one-man dynamo!!!
I'm taking a different route from that of most commentators; rather than predicting that the Suns won't be able to stop Kobe, I predict that the Lakers will not have an answer for Steve Nash. Kobe's a game-changer, to be sure, but I think his influence on a game tends to come in (big) spurts, whereas Nash has an incredibly subtle influence on the flow of the entire game.
