Did Dereek Swisher intentionally go for Nashs nose?

[Pistons < Spurs]

Fisher put his hand down in front of Nash- at the most, lightly raking his right eye. It was more of a flop than anything; realtime I thought Nash just tripped, and on the replay Nash was barely touched, yet looked like he'd just taken a slug from a 50mm.

Agree with this.

Does gs come up with the worst nicknames or what?

fisher is a dirty little dip . havent seen the play but it's probably intentional

He flops and does all the little veteran cheap tricks. However this incident was simple a result of playing old man defense in order to compensate for lack of lateral movement. Defense is the first thing to go when you get old.

gs has even worse nicknames in the NFL forum

Fisher is always great at making aggressive attacks at people look unintentional. The gift of hiding a dirty play.

You don't win 4 rings by doing good.

Bowen wasn't necessarily a dirty player. He was just overly aggressive on defense and it looked like he was dirty when in all actuallity he was just playing good hard solid defense. Fisher on the other hand is just intentionally dirty imo.

No.

Cut the in double standards out you donut eating pig. Derek Fisher is no dirtier than Bruce Bowen, that's why Spurfan looks re ed for calling other players and teams dirty when their team was dirty as it gets.

Edward is correct here, Flo.

77-74 Suns with 4:19 in 3rd is the one I'm seeing.
Announcer says "Swisher hits Nash in the nose again." Did Swisher hit Nash earlier in this game also or is he talking about a previous game?

50/50 as to whether or not Swisher did it on purpose. Given Lil s previous dirty play, seems likely he was trying to hit Nashs nose on purpose. Lakers are not used to earning playoff wins fairly. OTOH it could just be Swishers usual weak assed defense trying to compensate for no foot speed and movement by hacking.

Stabbin' Cabin the Laker troll posing as a Sun, how does on stay at 148 post count for two posts in a row? Do we have an LA Flamer moderator?

uh no. anytime you put your feet underneath a shooter, that's fricken dirty. anytime you make someone as calm as ray allen get mad enough to kick you in your back, you're dirty. get that weak stuff outta here.

yes, fish is a smarter flopper. but you don't intentionally foul a 94% FT shooter like someone said earlier. but then again, the scola getting elbow'd to the chest comes to mind.

gs is maybe one of the dumbest people I've ever encountered on the internet or in person. We're talking about someone who thinks me and mono are the same person.

[SomeCallMeTim]

ing this.

I'm embarrassed that this is even a story. Nash was barely touched, and it wasn't even near his nose. If you want to see a replay, go watch an episode of the teletubbys hugging eachother.
