The one possession Delfino was matched up on Nash he got rocked on his heels and gave him the baseline for an uncontested layup. Two of the three or four possessions he initiated the offense resulted in turnovers from his overdribbling and awful entry passes.

Now, Delfino's done a good job defending a lot of small guards quicker than Nash in the past, so I don't see why he can't match up on them more in the future - he could definitely do a better job containing just about anyone than Flip Murray, most of the time. But I don't think his game has developed to the point where he should play point guard; he seems to have a mental switch between "distributor" and "scorer" so that when he's creating shots for others, dishing creatively, and running an effective 2-man game his jumpshot breaks down and he accumulates charges, and when he's on the wing he's too aggressive with his own shot and doesn't see the floor as well. He needs to find a balance between the two to get more touches at guard: that could be as simple as developing confidence from more consistent minutes, or something else, but either way I don't think he's ready yet.

Now Maxiell, on the other hand, needs to play more, especially with his much improved pick and roll defense since he was torched by Marbury-to-Lee in the Garden. Just shut down Rasheed until Chauncey comes back and let his ankles rest.
No offense to Tayshaun, but I'm glad to see you're coming around.
