Props to Nash

[jmard5]

I hate when players like him get that type of injury. But props for really wanting to gut it out and play. Heart of a warrior... :toast

EDIT: unlike his dallas buddy...

[Cherry]

I love Steve Nash! God, i can't believe we won game 1 :dizzy

[boutons_]

He's more man than any of these tatooed, braided, chest-thumping, screaming Macho Man fakers.

Steve's all business and no show business.

[ambchang]

Nash played awesome on the offensive end, as always, and the Spurs decision to make him shoot all day and shut down the other guys was a sound strategy, just that it didn't work as well as the strategy should.
On the other hand, Parker had a career game again.

[sprrs]

Yeah that's why I love Nash. He's a competitor, he didn't even ask D'Antoni to go back in, he just started walking towards the court. He even went right back to make sure Tony was OK after the collision. Just an overall great guy.

[Man In Black]

That boy is a straight up baller. Props to Steve but more props to the Spurs for going in and taking game 1. PS The Vegas Casinos gave me 4.5 points. OH YEAH!!! :fro

[Kamnik]

my favourite guy in the whole league to watch play

also a class act and a warrior

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

I love this guy.

He was great to watch this game. Classy all the way.

I also liked what he said about Dirk.

[schadenfreude52]

It's things like this that easily make Nash my favorite player. Sigh, if only we had kept him on the Mavs...

[Obstructed_View]

Nash is a tough motherfucker.

[Xolotl]

Word.

[DuncanInYourFace]

Nash has more heart than the entire Mavericks squad.

Cuban should pay someone to wipe his blood off the floor, clone it, and try to inject it into Dirk.

[timvp]

Nash gets huge props from me.

Up until this year, he was an overrated player. But this year, he's playing amazing, amazing basketball. Way better than he's ever played.

He went from a horrible defender to actually a pretty damn good help defender and a serviceable one-on-one defender. Offensively, he used to have to dominate the ball to but up huge stats. Now he can dominate without having to dribble 15 times each possession.

I used to think comparing him to Stockton was a joke, but right now he's much better than Stockton ever was.

[dknights411]

If this happened to Dirk, he would most likely scream bloddy murder and faint on the spot. Nash deserves his MVP awards.

[SuperManu!!!]

I was amazed when he took the hit that he never went down

[Obstructed_View]

I used to think comparing him to Stockton was a joke, but right now it's not nearly as much of a joke.
I've been impressed by Nash lately, too, but: Fixed.

[spurs1990]

Yes agree as well. Nash is extremely likeable for opponents.

[bdictjames]

Nash uses Old Spice deodorants.

[JMarkJohns]

I hope his nose isn't broken. I fear it is. I've broken my noce three times (was a boxer in high school) and two of the three times it just poored blood like that. If he broke it, he may have to wear those GD masks which always take a while to get used to.

I pray it's just a gash that couldn't be closed without taking him back and stitching him up.

It looked really bad. I hope it's not a game-affecting injury.

Great seeing him get the recognition for being a player who never gives in, never gives up.

He better have wanted to play, I'm pretty sure anyone would. Blood doesn't = extreme pain. Nash barely was affected by the cut, it just didn't stop bleeding.




If anyone hadn't wanted to return after that shit, they'd be labely the biggest vagina in the world, and in all fairness.

Come on, I think Nash getting up without asking his coach, was cool enough to see. Don't try to downplay Nash's heart.

[jmard5]

I used to think comparing him to Stockton was a joke, but right now he's much better than Stockton ever was.

Uhm. Gamewise, I would still take Stockton over Nash due to Stockton's defensive capabilities. But Nash is still out there among the best point guards ever.

I'm just saying, why dont we put things in perspective...Nash is a two-time MVP in the NBA playoffs, 2nd round against arguably the best team alive in the playoffs. That cut clearly didn't hurt at all after seeing how he was barely affected, it was just blood.

Considering this, why the fuck wouldn't Nash want to return?






Why don't one of you fans in San Antonio stab him in the stomach and see if he returns before labeling him King Leonidas of Sparta.

I'll agree with this. Losing today probably pissed Steve off more than that gash hurt. He gets credit for wanting to play through an injury, but it's not like he couldn't have played and played well had the rules not prohibited him from doing so. It's not like he had an eye ripped out, or a joint dislocated.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Uhm. Gamewise, I would still take Stockton over Nash due to Stockton's defensive capabilities. But Nash is still out there among the best point guards ever.
I agree, though IMO Stockton was a dirty defensive player; Malone and he were both a dirty combo.

[jmard5]

Are you just downplaying what happened to Nash? It is a gash. It is still a painful injury. Nash not affected? A lot can go on. It might have affected his vision and obviously discomforted him. Have you seen him applying water into his eyes yet still wanting to play?

C'mon.

[foodie2]

Absolutely agreed. I'd take Nash any day.

:lol I agree. Ironically this was the first season I actually thought Nash deserved the MVP award...and of course he doesn't get it.

[lurker]

Tony also went to the Suns' bench to check on Nash.
Great sportsmanship by both of them. It's nice to see.


I felt so bad for Steve. I think the result of the game might've been different had the run in with Tony never happened.

Seriously he really IS that good. He's a legitimate superstar on a tier level of Kobe and Tim. Not necessarily in abilities, but the way he changes the game with his presence.

In 2005, I never considered him as such.

[bigfan]

I live in Dallas and when he played here I knew he was good but I didnt think he was great. The guy is great, played with heart (esp today bleeding all over the place) and isnt a crybaby. I will note as well Parker took quite a crack on the head that I think knocked him out and came back tough. A good game by any standard by both teams.

You know the funny thing with Nash is that he makes it look so effortless. I remember the one play when he literally danced his way into the paint and scored with ease with Duncan right there. Too Good is all I have to say.

In other news, Dirk was seen rolling around in the drops of Nash's blood after the game, murmuring "I have his powers now!! HAHAHAHAHAH."

[makedamnsure]

blood or no blood, Nash's attitude today won my complete respect for him.

[1SUNSFAN]

I just WISH Nash would have come back in to the game and said, "nobody makes me bleed my own blood!" Then hit the game winner... but alas, we have to wait until next game before the MV3 gets his revenge.

"Very surprising, very frustrating," he said. "How many times can you talk about it? We just have to have a bigger heart and continue to push through these invisible barriers that seem to pop up. I don't know what they are, but sometimes we just don't play as hard as we should."

[Obstructed_View]

Oh, please. What are you, Amish? It was a joke on a message board. Get the fuck over it. It rated maybe about a 2 on the "uncalled for" scale.

Did you just use the term, "sped"? Are you in third grade? Are you the same person that got your sensibilities all upset because I said Steve Nash was ugly now throwing F bombs around in the same fucking thread? Seriously, are you retarded? Did you get locked in the library at the group home? Do you fail to see what a douche you are?

:rolleyes :donkey

[spurschick]

Indeed, I hope his injury isn't too serious. Even if it is broken, I can't see him sitting out Game 2. He will probably have to wear that mask though and that has to suck.

I may be in the wrong here, but I'm not sure I like how D'Antoni handled it. I know that Nash was fighting to get back in the game, but I don't know if it would've been in the best interest of him or the team for him to play. Maybe they assessed that it wasn't that bad and all of the adrenaline was what kept the blood flowing. I just can't imagine Pop letting one of his players go back on the floor like that, no matter how much they begged him.

[Obstructed_View]

D'Antoni's found out without Nash there.

And BTW, I agree...it's not as much of a joke to compare Nash to Stockton now.

Stockton in the early 90's was as good as Steve Nash...only meaner, and a better defender, and passer...and flopper, and as clutch. I do think Nash is a better scorer though.

[Rogbok]

I have to give Nash props for wanting to get back in there, but I have to give the Suns decision on how they handled it a thumbs down. They should have taken him to the locker room and patched it up properly as quickly as they could and then Nash might have been able to play the last moments of the game. I believe they took a risk with their MVP and they should be more cautious. Of course that may come from how much Pop is extremely cautious with his team.

[sanman53]

Yeah, I give the man props as well. I can tell this guy wants to win it this year! If they win this series, it will be because of him. This is playoff basketball at its best! Man, I love this game!

[Strike]

I think that in the heat of the moment, the gash probably didn't hurt all that bad. I'm sure he felt it but when you're playing hard in a tight game like that, adrenaline takes over and you don't think about it like you normally would.

That said, I give Nash props for gutting it out. And watching him go over D'antoni's head was freaking priceless.

How he doesn't get the MVP this year is beyond me.

based on the way the trainer was pushing on that nose my bet is it is not broken just a giant gash. He will definitely have a good amount of stitches in that thing on Tuesday.

[dreamcastrocks]

Thanks guys for all of the good wishes for Nash.

Nash had 6 stitches and should be just fine.

Let's hope that bump on Parker's head slows him down a little, because there is no way that the Suns can win against the Spurs when Parker scores 30 and just kills Marion every time. The Suns need to keep Parker to around 20 to win.

[MisterWhodat]

Six stitches, not broken

[SAGambler]

Maybe they assessed that it wasn't that bad and all of the adrenaline was what kept the blood flowing.

While you gotta give Nash props for the heart to want to return, think about it in terms of reality....You get on the court, running up and down, which makes your heart pump faster and harder, which makes the blood flow faster. It simple biology. No way were they ever going to stop that blood flow in a few seconds.

Now you have to wonder, if he has to come out with one of those freaky masks on, how much will it hinder his court vision. Not to mention if the bridge of the nose is swollen and he has a couple of black eyes (which I don't see how he can't after a collision like that).

This injury, if it takes away from his game, could have more negative impact on the Suns than the way the Spurs have played them.

[SAGambler]

How he doesn't get the MVP this year is beyond me.

I think the Spurs need to lie down so he can go ahead and get the Finals MVP.

He doesn't get it because he has gotten it the past two years, and the media decided long ago it was Dirks turn to have it. The media isn't known for changing their minds, no matter how wrong they may be.

Nash is a leader.....Duncan is a leader.....Baron Davis is a leader.......
Dirk is a choker.

But regardless, he will hoist the trophy (or have it mailed to him)

I doubt that Nash will have to wear a mask because his nose is broken. But even if he does, he'd deserve to be sitting home with Dirk watching David Hasselhoff music videos if he let a thing strip of plastic come between him and a ring.

[baseline bum]

Good to see it's nothing too serious. I think Nash has definitely passed Stockton all-time, and I'd rank him as maybe the third best PG ever (Oscar and Magic are pretty untouchable at the top 2 spots). How many points have ever had a three-year run like Nash?

"Hey, thanks for wishing well to my point guard. I hope yours is hurt worse than he looks." :rolleyes

It was tongue in cheek. You misunderstood my post. The only thing that is going to slow down Parker is an injury. As a Suns fan, I want to see him slowed down. I would not wish injury upon anyone. He is already hurt, and the MVP is hurt as well. The Spurs have a much better shot to survive without Parker, than the Suns without Nash.

Relax. I like Tony Parker's game. If Barbosa ceiling is Tony Parker, I would be elated.

I didn't misunderstand your post, I just thought it was an incredibly poor choice of words. If your team wants to slow Paker down, they should consider playing defense. I know ESPN and ABC and Joe Knownothing hate defense and wish everything could be the all-star game, but at some point you have to just win it on the court.

Poor choice of words, maybe. If so I apologize. If you really thought I wanted to see Parker injured, you did misunderstand my post, poor choice of words or not.

The Suns have no idea how to slow down Parker, and that is on the coaching. The Suns need to do to them, what the Lakers did to Nash last series. Trap him high on the pick & roll.

Unfortunately, it looks like the team is made up the way it's made up, and they are just going to have to hope to outshoot their way to a win. From D'Antoni's sideline talks, it sounds like he doesn't have any way to adjust.

That trap didn't work for the Lakers or Mavericks, either.

After D'Antoni's press conference, he conceded that he needs to make adjustments, but I am convinced that he has no clue as to what they are.

The trap should work if executed properly. The ball gets out of the hands of Tony Parker. He can't score layup after layup, along with wide open jumpers if the ball isn't in his hands. The Suns players going under the P&R of the Spurs is retarded. Two years ago, maybe. Since then, Parker's outside shot is reliable.

Possibly, but the Suns might have a better chance leaving the ball in Parker's hands and daring him to keep up the hot shooting. Otherwise the ball ends up in Manu's hands a lot, and the last thing the Suns want is for him to get his confidence back.

A Steve Nash-delivered “head-butt” is the preferred method of execution in 16 states...

Steve Nash doesn’t wear a watch...HE decides what time it is.

I'd agree with you, if they could give up the dribble penetration and make him a jumpshooter. Marion tried that giving him 5 feet of space, and Parker still went around him.

Steve Nash’s tears can cure cancer. Too bad he never cries.

Nash uses Old Spice deodorants.

Steve Nash doesn't believe in Germany...
