Nash: “We Don’t Play Hard All The Time”

The Suns are known for their offense, but there are huge improvements to be made defensively.

“What frustrates me is we don’t play hard all the time,” Suns’ guard Steve Nash said before Phoenix played San Antonio

“I really expect more out of us, and that’s what is frustrating, not seeing a consistent effort and concentration.” on Monday night. “We’re small. We’ve got to play extremely hard to negate their size. But when we do play hard, we’re a real good defensive team. But does that mean it takes too much out of us to play like that all the time? Maybe, but there’s got to be somewhere in between where we can reach a level where even when we have lulls, we’re still in tune mentally and focused, and we’re an adequate defensive team.”
