Whoever wrote this Game Preview is an idiot:
Phoenix @ Orlando
With Steve Nash once again playing like a two-time MVP, the Phoenix Suns have been one of the league's biggest surprises through the first week of the season.
Nash looks to help the Suns open with five consecutive wins for the first time in 25 years Wednesday night when they visit the Orlando Magic, who return home after suffering their first loss.
After finishing ninth in the Western Conference last season and missing the playoffs for the first time since 2004, Phoenix is one of three remaining undefeated teams in the league in 2009-10. The others -- Boston and the Los Angeles Lakers -- are the last two NBA champions.
The Suns posted a 104-96 victory over previously unbeaten Miami on Tuesday to improve to 4-0 for the first time since 2004-05. Phoenix hasn't opened a season with five consecutive victories since 1984-85.
"We don't read anything into being 4-0. We really don't," coach Alvin Gentry said.
A big reason for the fast start has been the play of Nash.
Last season, the 35-year-old point guard averaged 15.7 points and 9.7 assists -- his fewest since averaging 8.8 assists for Dallas in 2003-04 -- but he's averaging 12.5 assists and 21.5 points on 54.2 percent shooting in 2009-10.
Nash, winner of consecutive MVP awards in 2004-05 and 2005-06, scored 30 points, shot 11 of 15 from the field and added eight assists against the Heat. He was clutch down the stretch, scoring 25 after halftime and making 10 of his final 11 shots over the last 27 minutes.
"He came out in that third quarter and put on a clinic," Suns forward Grant Hill said. "It was really fun to watch."
