As of this morning, I am a Steve Nash fan

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

This can serve as the game 3 Suns vs. Spurs thread.

Regarding why I like Nash, most would think it's because of the fact Phoenix is good again, and maybe that's a contributor to it, but immigration events that have unfolded around Nash the last few days are about as funny as it gets.

Since he rejoined the Suns in 2005 and led the team to 62 wins, the red neck Conservatives (I'm talking the people who think Barack Obama is a Muslim and people who no longer like McCain because he's not conservative enough) in Arizona started to watch basketball. Nothing was better than an undersized white guy dominate what they thought to be a sport filled with no good thugs and gang bangers of dark skinned orientation. Naturally, these same Conservatives support the SB1070 bill.

Nash vocalizing his opposition to the bill this week has caused quite a problem in the Arizona redneck community. They always figured Nash hated minorities as much as they did, and that's what motivated him to be so good at basketball. It turns out, he just loves basketball and busted his ass to be good at it, and is actually a devout liberal. Nash is no dummy, he knew that when he publicly spoke against the bill, he'd lose a ton of support from the Conservative wasps in Phoenix. Props to him for sticking to who he truly is, and not giving a shit what people think about it :toast

[DAF86]

So you're telling me that all these Nash's fans didn't know that his wife is Paraguayan?

[Brigham Young]

"what they thought to be a sport filled with no good thugs and gang bangers of dark skinned orientation."

That's exactly the kind of sport it is. Well, except the Utah Jazz of course.

P.S. Nash will burn in hell.

[PGDynasty24]

I was thinking the same thing. Nash's wife is of Hispanic descent I'm pretty sure.But besides the point I give Props to Nash

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

So you're telling me that all these Nash's fans didn't know that his wife is Paraguayan?


Doubt it. I've seen three different posts on a Suns message board from random trolls who popped up outa nowhere wishing that Nash gets hip checked into a scorers' table again because they no longer like him.

[Ghazi]

NWyetpWh-yc

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

great fucking MVP mix :cry

[Ghazi]

:lmao jefferson blown dunk

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

:lmao Dick

You should root for the Suns to lose so that people doesn't get happy, imho.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Those people want the Suns to lose now.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Jesus Richardson.

[Ghazi]

:lol just saw the press conference clip "remember the hornets"

Pop is right. Nash and Amare aren't innate losers like West and Paul.

You won't see Leandro fucking Barbosa taking 13 4th quarter shots if this shit goes to Game 7.

[pauls931]

Not even sure if I'm watching the whole game. The spurs look comfy at home and need this one to even have a chance so they have to go all out. All I ask is for the suns to beat the hell out of the spurs this game physically.

[DAF86]

How's that a travel???? Fucking refs.

[DAF86]

Can somebody please tell Jason Richardson that he is Jason Richardson.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

I'll take that given how terribly the Suns played that quarter. I'm not sure I agree with leaving Bonner open early on so he can get a rhythm going, but 9 points isn't bad after that quarter.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

God dammit Gentry, wtf does Barbosa have to do to get benched permanently

[pauls931]

I'll take that given how terribly the Suns played that quarter. I'm not sure I agree with leaving Bonner open early on so he can get a rhythm going, but 9 points isn't bad after that quarter.

yeah did care much for bonner he's like Fyre when it comes to shooting at home. Oh nice layup attempt barbacoa... BTW, I liked the no call early on when Giflopli tried to draw a cheap on one Amare.

[pauls931]

Come on suns, don't let it be a blowout, you don't want the spurs scrubs gaining confidence.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Well this could get bad, not sure why Barbosa is the only bench player Gentry hasn't pulled the plug on yet.

[DPG21920]

It is really just the rebounding. This game looks like game 2, except the Spurs are actually rebounding. Suns are still presenting the same problems, but the Spurs are just doing a better job on the boards so far.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

wHY THE FUCK IS BARBOSA STILL IN THE GAME? HE JUST FUCKED UP AGAIN.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

:wow Barbaro

[resistanze]

When did Barbosa turn into shit? That basket notwithstanding.

[pauls931]

Damn dude... I'd be happy just to see him traded.

[DPG21920]

Of course tarbosa misses the free throw. I wish he died when his mom did.

Dude, it is just basketball. Chill out.

[resistanze]

WTF Tony?

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

rofl taking that seriously.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

OK Phoenix, you're down by 14, the game isn't over.


:lmao the bail out call when Barbaro had nowhere to go.

[DAF86]

Fuck you TP, you're a PG, you're supossed to hit your FTs :bang

[pauls931]

Fun game, nice to win for pho must win for spurs. Wish suns would play a bit better to make it interesting.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Idk what you're thinking on that one Nash


PS - Why is Barbosa still in?

[pauls931]

man, they can't hit the broad side of a barn right now. Nash forced that 3 and got trashed.

[pauls931]

If this ends up tied at the have I'll be LMFAO...

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Six more points from J-Rich and the Suns win :lol

[pauls931]

Looks like nash and ghill don't want the tie.

[pauls931]

Not a great close, but better than being down by 18 or whatever they were earlier.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Impossible shot to defend, I'll take being down by 6 after the way they played.

[DAF86]

The difference on the series so far: shooting. The Suns make threes, the Spurs miss free throws.

[resistanze]

Yup. This should be a 15+ point game.

[djohn2oo8]

Damn, Spurs fans were all excited when Jefferson was traded to S.A. :lmao

[DAF86]

Jefferson is only a Spurs for one more year.

Maybe not even that much, he could get traded this offseason.

[djohn2oo8]

Jefferson is only a Spurs for one more year.

Better than having long contracts on Yao, and Kevin Martin:lmao:lmao

Yao = 1 yr contract, Dick Jefferson being paid 15 mil, and doing less than Yao with Yao always hurt :lol?

[pauls931]

Jefferson has been playing ok the last two games. Maybe not 15 mil good, but not bad.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Jefferson has been playing ok the last two games. Maybe not 15 mil good, but not bad.


:lmao right now he's approaching Barbosa status.

[pauls931]

bought time somewhat swatted that shit out of the park.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

OK J-Rich this is the playoffs, you can't be throwing away timeouts in a close game like this.

[DAF86]

OK J-Rich this is the playoffs, you can't be throwing away timeouts in a close game like this.

You would have rather just lose the possesion?

[DAF86]

I miss Finley right now.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

You would have rather just lose the possesion?

Na, I'm saying he needs to be more careful with the ball.

[pauls931]

huge swing on nash falling down.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Na, I'm saying he needs to be more careful with the ball.


As does the rest of the team.

[pauls931]

man I wish hill would stop forcing jumpers

[pauls931]

some serious home cookin' goin on. Foul on Barbosa's face :rollin

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Wow Goran, that was timely.

[Darthkiller]

lol get taht weak stuff out of here

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Why the fuck is LB passing to Dudley when J-Rich is red hot and open on the other side of the court......it's like he tries to make the dumbest decisions possible.

[pauls931]

Wow Goran, that was timely.

Ya they needed. But damn, the refs are letting it get physical again. They seem to be refusing to call any fouls.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

The Dragon Shake up in this bitch.

[djohn2oo8]

Dragic!!!

[pauls931]

more home cooking ginobili pushed off

[redzero]

Who replaced Goran with Hakeem?

[pauls931]

damn blair just cleared out someone, spurs are throwing the suns all over the place on the boards.

[pauls931]

dumbass makes a few good plays... Keep nash on the bench as long as possible.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Damn, Popovich successfully matched Barbosa's low IQ by putting Dejuan Blair on him.

[redzero]

Damn, Goran is putting people on skates.

[djohn2oo8]

Damn Dragic goin all Hakeem on everybody

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Dragic is lighting people up!

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

WHITE mUTHAFUCKIN MAGIC!

[pauls931]

omg dragic

[djohn2oo8]

Game over!!!

[pauls931]

omg dragic bet the refs steal a

[pauls931]

omg dragic bet the refs steal a 3 from the suns now.

[DAF86]

That's it, great series Suns, now please go and take care of the Lakers.

[redzero]

HOLY FUCKING SHIT!

Dragic is an animal.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

:lmao Goran!

[djohn2oo8]

Ballin

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

:lmao Barbosa even getting in the action

[pauls931]

damn if dragic's balls get any bigger, they'll have to open the roof to make room for them. And keep nash's ass on the bench. it's like the spurs don't know how to play a non-nash suns team.

[DAF86]

Why am I still watching this shit?

[BlackSwordsMan]

another easy road for lakers

[Goran Dragic]

I need to make my free throws.

[Goran Dragic]

:lmao

[pauls931]

refs trying to help, if the suns hold on this will be sweet. The refs are really screwing them over. Bullshit flopping fould on giflopli.

[Goran Dragic]

I hope I still have some sperm left for Jordan Farmar by the end of the night.

[pauls931]

Suns/Lakers will be epic. Give me the Suns.

Death sentence for the suns, they're not long enough unless Lopez can borrow one of Dragic's balls.

[redzero]

As of right now, I am a Goran Dragic fan.

[lurker]

http://i42.tinypic.com/mhgdpj.jpg

[pauls931]

Awesome, the suns overcame the physical rough housing. Fuck you refs, and floppers.

[Goran Dragic]

:lmao add insult to injury

[pauls931]

don't act like a dick, Manu was clearly fouled on his arm on that 3 pointer.

Dway style

[SAtown]

Enjoy it Suns fans. Damn good team

[pauls931]

*I'm a dick when I'm excited.... Sorry. Getting trashed by the same team year after year will do that to a person.

[DAF86]

Awesome, the suns overcame the physical rough housing. Fuck you refs, and floppers.

I came here to say congrats to Suns fans and that the Suns were clearly the better team but you made me change my mind.

lol sore winner
lol 2003
lol 2005
lol 2007
lol 2008
lol no rings
lol knowing that even though you will still win this series you won't win the championship

And you better not blow this up 'cause that would be really really funny.

[IronMexican]

lol at butthurt daf. clearly mad that manu will never be as good as White Magic Dragic.

[pauls931]

No problem, you should be proud of your team and your coach. Gentry has made Pop look like an absolute fool!

Good luck against Los Angeles:toast

Thanks and sorry again, it's been rough being a suns fan. Wish this happened when there was no one left after you guys...:toast You had better not win 4 in a row!

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

lol at butthurt daf. clearly mad that manu will never be as good as White Magic Dragic.


:lmao

[DAF86]

lol at butthurt daf. clearly mad that manu will never be as good as White Magic Dragic.

lol machete wannabe

[BeeGee]

Almost nothing beats the sound of Spurs fan quitting.

[SomeCallMeTim]

Damn, Spurs fans were all excited when Jefferson was traded to S.A. :lmao

Has there ever been a greater negative disparity between expectation and performance from a player brought over in a trade?

I mean, I'm glad it didn't work out for the Spurs, but I almost feel sorry for their fans. He's flat-out embarrassed himself this year -- tonight a microcosm of his season.
