Lakers: Ding: Nash's anger at Howard very real

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Fox is allowed to talk more than Nash (idk who said anything about Stockton) because he played hard on both ends of the court. Steve Nash's style of playing free safety on defense rather than actually guarding his man is just as selfish and me-first as anything Dwight does.

Nash inability to guard must not be mistaken for not playing hard on defense, that such a re ed take tbh. Dude is 40 y/o, people expect him to catch up with the young cats in the league, man haha.

He's been a lazy and poor defender his whole career, tbh...

So the only people that can tell the truth are those with rangs? Even though Nash is past his prime (the reason why his stats suck and he can't guard a chair) he still has the right to call Howard out. In his prime I've seen Nash play through a myriad of injuries. It shouldn't be a surprise that he is expecting the same out of Howard.

Nash is loser who wanted to fun and gun instead of win les. Not only that, Dwight Howard is playing through injuries and absolutely destroying Nash's numbers, so again, what does that say about Nash that a guy with legit known injuries can half ass it and completely doo doo all over Nash's production?

Nash's age and physical limitations aren't an excuse for him ignoring his defensive assignment so he can go play free safety. People have given him the undersized white guy excuse his entire career when he simply doesn't guard his man or even try to.

The hilarious thing about these Nash defenders (lolpun) is that Nash has actually gotten much better as a defender as he has aged . His team defense is actually passable now (or it was for the past two years).

complainin about nash is as stupid complainin whatever replacement lakers wouldve signed he didnt come....

The hype Nash brought with him made absolutely no sense. He looked like trash last season with Phoenix. To say he was a huge liability on the defensive end would be an understatement. Nash was so worthless he was sometimes subbed out for Sebastian Telfair for defensive reasons. Most of the people complaining about him are the ones who bought into the hype. Even still, I don't see a problem with complaining about a dude who did his part to create some of the hype. There were better options out there, and odds are those other options wouldn't have brought with them some of the unrealistic expectations Nash did.

That being said, I'm not sure why I'm responding to you considering you can barely read, write, form coherent thoughts or communicate at the most basic levels.

The rat bas traitor can spot up himself into obscurity. Smartest move Sarver has made was trading his controlling bag of bones for multiple 1sts.

I defended Nash's second MVP a long time ago, but it's pretty clear the guy has no loyalty, no conviction, and no accountability. He's bought into his own "teammate" hype and can't see or acknowledge his own failings. Every action since his exaggerated flop of Horrys shove has been about seeking media attention. Many of these actions hurt the Suns more than helped, starting with the ensuing suspensions that series, to getting a coach fired, to "preferring" certain types of players, to not helping develop Dragic, to dictating system, his tenure in Phoenix, and his role.

He and malcontent Howard deserve each other.

I almost feel bad for Kobe.

Nash?
Howard?
D'Antoni?
Artest?
Fragile Pau?

Geez.

if he hadnt come to the lakers,

whatever PG signing still wont have solve their problems, they already have a history last few seasons of signing bull pgs...now those bull pgs didnt even posts anything near what nash is currently producing for them

[Cry Havoc]

Nash should understand better how to manage himself with a guy who's got the entire city on his shoulders. You don't rip into a guy who's already been kicked while he's down for half a season. It makes no sense.

Agree with JMark, since the Horry incident Nash changed. He acts en led now and doesn't seem to have nearly as much fun with the game as he once did. Sad to see. Either way, blaming was NEVER part of his repertoire before that playoff series, so to see him go after Howard as hard as he is while Howard is injured is pretty damn revealing.
