How fun do you think it is to allow Steve Blake to drop 20 points and 10 assists?

[Goran Dragic]

Poll coming. Nash did this last year and did it tonight, it's become an annual "fun" event he looks forward to. I, Goran Dragic, am asking Spurstalk how fun you think it is to let Steve Blake (someone averaging 7.4 points and 3.8 assists) to have 20+ points and 10+ assists.

Easy Blake>Nash, but starpower wise, Nash>Blake

I wasn't asking who is better, please answer the question.

At least Andre Miller didnt score 52 fucking points.
And my answer is above average fun. Stevie was enjoying himself, but hes had more fun.

Fair analysis. It was undoubtedly fun to watch Steve Blake have a night he could only have against you, but this was nothing compared to the fun involved with letting Jason Kidd have 19 points and 20 assists or Devin Harris having 47 points.

Max fun. Just like Dre's 52.

I wasn't asking how fun it was for Portland homers. Don't let Nash know Andre Miller dropped 52 against his former team, or he might demand to guard Miller the next time Phoenix plays Portland and let him drop 72 points just to prove he can have more fun than the team that let him leave.

IC. Dragic how well did you do guarding against Blake?

Edit, nvm

All I know is the Suns out scored Portland by 3 when I was playing and Portland outscored Phoenix by 10 when Nash was in.

If Steve Blake ever drops 20 and 10 on the Spurs I might as well just stop watching basketball. I hope that answers your question.

This isn't about the Spurs. It's about having fun, we all know the Spurs hate having fun and their TV ratings suck.

Fixed.

Actually the way they're playing defense this year they're probably having more fun.

Steve Nash was awful tonight. Couldn't shoot (6-16), couldn't pass (5 TO's), couldn't defend (Steve Blake = Chris Paul), and didn't look for Stoudemire nearly enough.

Amare was virtually unstoppable when he got the ball tonight. The box score says he was 9-14, but it seemed like he only missed two shots all night. Aldridge couldn't keep him out of the lane, and yet Nash was more content with jacking up 20-footers over taller defenders instead. Nash was the LVP tonight, which is shocking because Channing Frye's defense couldn't have been much worse.

Missed the game, but blake is a scrub at best being able to leverage an ultra athletic team. Nash must've sucked it up on D, how hard is it to just stay near your man? Makes you wonder if he was sick since his shooting is normally very consistent.

Anyway, I'll forgive them for this loss after a great road trip.

[Goran Dragic]

Just so everyone knows, Steve Nash is the only player to ever give up a 20 point 10 assist night from Steve Blake.....and he's done it twice. The beautiful thing here is the Nash apologists can't pull the card, "Nash is just a nice, helpless, undersized white man guarding the big, athletic black man." Blake has no physical advantages over Nash, the only explanation for defense that bad is a lack of effort.

That's just what "great teammates" like Nash do.

The only thing more fun was the block of Andre Miller on J-Rich on the 1st possession. Miller can only elevate 3 inches off the ground :lol

Fun to the max²
