Where was Nash all game? He hit some shots in the 4th but they were out of desperation...
I think this loss is on his shoulders. Full credit to Bowen who showed how much of a joke the DPOY voting was. But Nash needed to take over earlier and look for his own shot.
And yes, Nash is a great person, but what does that have to do with Basketball?
GO SPURS, BYE SUNS.
Um, I think a lot of people did... :wtfQuote:

Much respect, Steve Nash...
I just had a flashback - I was in Phoenix in Feb and went to a game wearing my Spurs jersey. I was talking to some Suns fans who were saying they thought it might be their year, and the way we were playing at the time I had to agree with them. Then one of them turned to me and said, "You guys scare me though... every year you seem to stand in our way." I just smiled and said nothing. How right he was! :lol
I have to agree he's a class act!

And without Duncan, the Spurs would be...?Quote:

If only he had teammates, or a coach.
Respect to Nash.
You can answer that for us. Both are equally important to their respective teams, and deserve tonnes of respect. :clapQuote:

Exactly...I just KNEW that big Suns run was coming...Nash is a fucking machine...that's why I wanted the Spurs to have a big lead in the 4th...fortunately, it was enough. :toastQuote:

just an incredibly talented player. I don't think I ever saw him make the wrong decision (he might've fucked up a couple times executing that decision). So smart, so talented (amare misses out on one of those last two things).
The Suns have a lot of offensively talented players, and great athletes that should be very good defenders. Next time D'Antoni states that the Suns are the more talented team, he should immediately follow it up with "but our coaching sucks."
An 8th seed at best.Quote:

He's on the post-game interview right now, whining about Game 5...over and over.
Fuck him. I can admit that he has game, but forget about having class. At least Amare Stoudamire was a man in the interview.
Well said, Extra Stout.
Oh, so you learned from calling the game over in game 4 half way through the 4th? Good for you. :rolleyesQuote:

Steve NASH is probobly the best point guard in the history of the NBA.
The game he played tonight was unreal.
The pass he made in the second quarter to Stoudamire, wrapping it around Duncan and jumping between duncan and Finley, was the most amazing pass I'd ever seen.
Nash is a hell of a player.
If the Suns were smart, they would hire Jeff Van Gundy.
That would be the worst decision they could make. Van Gundy would turn them into something they're not. Now...if they hire him, with D'antoni kept as an assistant (or "right-hand man" coach), it might work out. D'antoni seems more suited to be an assistant coach anyways (he'll have a high salary though, for an assistant).Quote:

JVG would do a great job in installing defensive scheme & mentality to this Suns team. Nash is already the Suns's brain in offense, so i think he would be smart enough to not interfere there.
If they could prey Camby by using Barbosa + pick as the trade bait, and getting JVG as the coach, they could turn into a darn good, balanced team IMHO.
This isn't news to some of you, I'm sure, but as good as you thought Nash played this series, it was nothing compared to what we've seen from him this season (and yes, I give the credit to Bowen for that -- the defensive MVP of the series, if you ask me). You should see how the guy plays against lesser defenses.
nash has 2 years left
why did not nash take over in the third?
that is when his team needed him
the fourth it was to late
I agree with youQuote:

props to bowen and tp
Nash is awesome, his will to win is the most respectful aspect of his game, and that is really saying something.
I also loved the way Kurt Thomas and Raja Bell played, a little chippy sometimes, but they seem to know that it's the playoffs.
nash problem
duncans prime is now
I was thinking the same until I saw the postgame interview. :dramaqueeQuote:
