Report: Steve Nash Says Suns ‘Don’t Have the Talent’ to Win Games

File this one under things most professional athletes don't say, even when they're true.

Two-time NBA Most Valuable Player Steve Nash stated the obvious Tuesday when asked about the Suns, who have lost seven of their last nine games.

"We just don't have the talent to go out there and win games," Nash said, according to the Valley of the Suns blog. "We've got to find a little bit something extra. We've got to find a little magic in our chemistry and our cohesion, and we haven't found it yet."

Short of saying "we don't play hard," "we just don't have the talent [to] win games" probably rates up there as the worst thing a professional athlete can say.

It's hard to fault Nash, though. For one thing, the future Hall of Famer has earned the right to call things as he sees them. For another thing, taking a look at the Suns' roster and their 6-11 record, he's right.
