    I've never understood why people talk about Nash's defense like it's a reason his teams lose in the playoffs. Tony Parker killed us in '08, but we had Shawn Marion guarding him much of the time.

    In '05, it was Ginobili and Duncan.
    In '06, it was Dirk and our general lack of size (no Amare, no Kurt Thomas, Boris Diaw playing C).
    In '07, Duncan again.
    In '08, Tony Parker couldn't be stopped by anyone.
    In '09, we didn't make the playoffs.
    In '10, the Lakers had too much size and Kobe played the best playoff series of his life.

    Nash's defense has never been a huge reason for the team's failure to win it all. And I don't think he would have become an MVP-caliber player if Cuban hadn't spurned him in the first place. He went from being a top-10 PG in the league to being a top-3 player in the league over the course of one summer.

    Either way, I hope Nash finds a way out soon. Sarver has to be the dumbest owner in the league. So dumb you almost wish he was up to something brilliant, but that's a dream. I'm pulling for Portland somehow getting him. Go ahead an let Dragic suffer through the rebuild and become a veteran to lead the future team.
