    I am a HUGE suns fan, here are my top 5 reasons the suck are 3-6.

    1) Does anyone else notice that Amare Stoudemire has only ONE asists this whole season???

    2) Marbury still takes the most shots on the team by FAR

    3) Joe Johnson shoots like 36%, Penny should start

    4) Coach is an idiot and doesn't know who to play ever

    5) Should trade Joe Johnson for a better backup for Marbury and Penny like Wesley Person or Desmond Mason.

    Joe Johnson may shoot 36%(went up had a good shooting day today) but hes bigger and stronger than penny. and can guard anyone from a PG to a PF. Hes not the problem. The problem is that Stephon is trying to get his teamates involved early and cant get himself in the game. Marion has been shooting the ball teribley and we miss the hussell of Bo Outlaw desperatly.

    1) Amare only having one assist isn't the main reason why the Suns are losing right now. The Suns averaging only 17 assists a game (compared to oppenents' 20) is a huge reason why they are losing.

    2) Marbury, despite being the point guard, is the best scorer on the team. Even when Jason Kidd was a Sun he led the team in shots per game. He is the only one that can consistently create his own shot.

    3) Joe Johnson, despite not shooting the ball well, has been showing a great all-around game. Keep him starting and he'll get into the scoring flow eventually. It's not like Penny is the King of Shooting right now either, he's at a 38% clip.

    4) I agree.

    5) The team needs to keep JJ. Even if they were to trade him they would not get someone like Desmond Mason in return. Barbosa is going to be Marbury's backup but he needs to be brought along slowly. Marbury plays 40-42 minutes anyway so a backup for him isn't that great of a concern.

    The biggest problem really is that people aren't scoring. Marion is shooting 43%, Amare is at 41%...those are two of the main players on the team that are shooting way below what they should be. Marion is in somewhat of a funk right now, but it's still early in the season so once he gets going then the team will get going as well.
