Anyone who missed Suns vs. Blazers

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Lemme tell you you missed an epic defensive performance from Steve Nash. When I was watching Steve Blake I could have sworn it was Jerry West the way he was diming and somehow getting open on every play. In addition, because Nash didn't feel he was giving enough easy baskets on defense, he made sure to turn it over 6 times so he could even give the other team easy baskets from the offensive end.

And in addition he went into Starbury mode in the 4th quarter where his mindset is, "I'm either gonna win the game, or we're gonna lose the game," and shoots fadeaway 3 pointer on a possession where they needed to score.

LADIES AND GENTLEMAN, YOU'RE 2009 "I WENT FROM BEING A ROLE MODEL TO BEING A CANCER IN LESS THAN A YEAR" AWARD WINNER MR. STEVE NASH AND HIS OVERALL COMMITMENT TO MAKING SURE THE OFFENSE HE CAN PROVIDE IS ALWAYS CANCELED OUT BY THE DEFENSE HE DOESN'T PROVIDE!!!!

awesome thread.

I'm sick and tired of this idiot being treated by Phoenix bandwagon fans like he's the 2nd coming of MJ, he makes the dumbest mistakes in the 4th quarter and doesn't even give one iota of energy on D. Doesn't fight through screens, doesn't play smart, just follows the ball around like a 5 year old in his first YMCA game and never stays on his man.


I wish more Suns fans knew basketball existed before 2004 so I didn't have to post that rant on a Spurs site but I know Spurs fans are gonna find the humor in it, if I posted that on a Suns' site I'd get lambasted for wanting them to play defense. I think the day Nash bolts for NY it will be funny since all the fans care so much about him and will be so sad, and they won't even realize he doesn't give a flying fuck about them.

Steve Nash's defense tonight was some of the worst defense I've ever seen in a basketball game.

Oscar Robertson could have played better D, and that fucker's 70 years old.

Ya tonight was bad, almost as bad as the New Jersey game where they turned Carter and Harris into Magic Johnson and James Worthy.

Porter is in the process of teaching our guys the easy-to-master, but hard-to-justify, Amoeba Defense.

In the summer of 2006 I told a friend of mine from Arizona that Phx should sell high (the peak, actually) on Nash and trade him. He looked like he wanted to either kill me or put me in an asylum. Looking back, it's so obvious... but he still won't admit it; such is the love for Nash among Suns fans.

I said the same thing about Marion, but I think everybody knew that except Miami.

It seems my time honored tradition of visiting arizonasportsfans after a playoff win to gloat is in jeopardy this year.

I think Phx can still get high price from Nicks at present.

Miami was smart in trading for Marion. After this season he comes off the books. While PHX has Shaq I think for 2 more years.

I miss Avery press conferences, just for the comedic results alone.
