Harris needs to get it going tonight. 13 points and 5 assists per isn't going to get it done. He can't pick up 2 quickies like last game. He should be able to get by Nash at will. He needs to either score 20+ or have about 10 assists. Preferably both. And when he dishes to a big, that big has got to finish it. I know Boone had nice stats last game, but that was not a great game by him. He was dropping passes and blowing gimmes and not taking it hard enough to the rack. He's got to play better than that.
When Phoenix takes Shaq out and goes small, they should try to go small with one of these combos: Harris, Dooling, Carter, Yi/Hayes/Anderson, Lopez/Boone
Brook will start soon enough, but i thought boone did some nice things tonight. He made foul shots, made a nice 15 shot by the line, and had some nice defensive stops. Was he man handled by shaq, of course he was, but what smaller center isn't. All and all he got shaq in foul trouble, and made some decent defensive plays too. So he showed some promise as a starter or back up to brook eventually. Brook will be good, but tonight he showed he was a rookie, and the refs are taking advantage of it. He was guilty of every foul called.
