i doubt it's broken just a deep cut
Dude's nose was nasty. It was turning purple and GUSHING.
What's the word? Is it broken?
He cut a small artery and there was no way to stop that bleeding without sewing up the wound. Those small band-aids were just not ever going to do the job. He probably is getting s ches right now.
It looks REALLY nasty here (If you're a bit queasy, watch out...)

Nash doesn't turn the ball over that possession and this never happens.
Goddamn turnover![]()
parker was getting the beginnings of a goose egg on his forehead as well. i didn't see it good in live action, i thought tony got racked with the way he crumpled.
He was out for those crucial seconds in the 4th
And if Magic Johnson didn't get HIV, that rule would never have been in effect.
Two words....Duct Tape
Suns couldn't get a stop........
I'm thinking Nash being out had nothing to do with that. He'll be just fine. As soon as I saw it, I knew he would have to sit for a while.
Unfortunate.
tough loss for the suns, ed the way nash couldn't be in the game the last minute or so.
Not just for the mere HIV but many, nearly countless illnesses could be spread from blood.
tons of pressure on suns to take game 2
you could always sense the spurs were in control
we were hitting all the big shots when it mattered and outscored the suns in every quarter except for the 2nd.
i expect a really hard fought game 2
With Nash out, the Suns were only in a position to get a "stop" once, and I believe Barbosa fouled them with 30-something seconds left.
They never played the Spurs for a stop. They tried to extend the game by making the Spurs make all their FTs, which they didn't, but without Nash, they couldn't muster up any offense (just two points in porlly five possessions) to get that tie or lead.
That's where Nash's absense was felt and why the Spurs pulled away. Not saying Suns win with Nash. They would have certainly had a better run of things at the end with him in, though...
good game from both teams though, despite the loss for the suns, bof' teams played hard and with all the crappy lop-sided games, this was an entertaining game to watch...i wish i coul say the same for the bulls/pistons series. we were laughing when vaughn came back in after getting his 3rd foul, i guess that's how much pop doesn't want to play beno.
btw, even with nash out, amare should've made those baskets, he had three good looks in the paint
I say blame the doc. He couldn't do his job and stop the bleeding on several occasions. All he did was resort to the little bandaids they had.
lol, yeah, i was like WTF are those little things going to do? you'd think they would've just rapped the out of that area, stuffed it and wrapped it up so that it sealed everything but his nostrils
mavs win game when b-diddy isn't in game
as is
spurs win game when steve nash isn't in game
or wait, how are those questions worded again?
Well maybe they should have.
Those band aids were like as effective as using smiley faced stickers to stop a leak in a raft! Definitely could have used a whole wad of gauze and medical tape or something.
I don't think so. They had two or three possessions where they could have tied or taken a lead had they made a shot. The FT strategy was working. The Spurs made just 5-of-9 FTs. Had the Suns made one or two buckets, they'd have looked mighty smart. They didn't. In large part because of Nash being unable to play. Again, I don't do the woulda/coulda/shoulda game. San Antonio was in control and had the lead. Nash may not have even made a difference in anything but how many points they lose by. I'm just saying the comeback was made infininately harder by Nash's absense.
What they should have done defensively was keep Thomas on Duncan in the second half for as long as Thomas fouls allowed him to be.
I'm so sick to my stomach over the fact his night came largely in the second half when D'Antoni had his head up his ass with regards to how to "defend" Duncan.
They should have laid him down and used ice to temporarily numb the nose area. Also, the doc was using a dry towel (after he'd put on the bandaid) to wipe the skin around the nose, which is a no no, cuz it could irritate and tear the already torn skin. It shouldn't have been that hard. He missed what, the last 2 minutes or so? Crucial mistake
Yup, the gash is pretty bad. The Suns' trainers were caught off guard with that kind of injury suffered by Nash...
D'Antoni was also, well, caught off-guard too. Instead of yapping at the officials while the trainers were checking Nash, he should have at least gathered his players for instructions.
someone should tell him, thats not how u play defense
was d'antoni's fault. he should have called a to even if it was a crucial one. he weighed his priorities and didn't set nash as one of them to give the to so he could get him in the game. karma for whining like a to the officials and never getting a T.
