very good point.
I doubt our man could've stopped that bleeding. I don't think that cut was made to be bandaged and sent on it's way. It needed s ches.
very good point.
Locker room immediately?
If the guy is on some anti-iflammatory for something, the nose is STILL bleeding.....
If he is not, the game would have been over anyway.
Again, I don't know that Dantoni realized how much it was going to bleed, I think we all initially thought they'd be able to patch him up quickly...
I just saw some pictures of the doc treating the cut, and I think I spotted the problem...it was those ridiculous purple rubber gloves. WTF was that trainer thinking?!
No f'in way.
They just said it required 6 s ches to close.
Seriously doubt there was anything the guy on the sidelines could have done to stop it if it required that much work.
Granted they thought it would staunch up a bit, but when it didn't and he's bleeding on to the court - take him back, clean it up and s ch it up.
Can you stop that bleeding with a pach?I think the bottom line is the Suns go out and hire a new team doc tomorrowThat guy who couldn't stop the bleeding is going to get canned.
Well he should have immediately gone to the locker room, stopped the blood and then s ched him.
Bringing him back in after a couple minutes, letting him bleed all over, distracting everyone, then putting him back and forth in and out of the game was a pretty bush league way to handle it.
I'm pretty sure he could have been back on the court much faster if he would have gone to the locker room and got s ched. Brent Barry got five s ches a couple times and was back in just a couple minutes.
Agreed.
wow, It is allowed to use adhesive in NBA's world ?... in soccer it is very common to use that, I got my little nose kicked once and the doc stopped the blood in 1 minute, but I couldn't think for a weekNo f'in way.
Exactly, during the ensuing time out, I saw both Amare and Boris Diaw amongst others standing around Nash and the trainer instead of following D Antoni and his game plan. And instead of D Antoni gathering his players around and actually using the timeout successfully, he spend some time ing to the refs about the away from the ball foul committed by Barbosa earlier.
D Antoni cost the Suns this game. If he could learn to keep his composure and calm, instead of getting easily rattled by bad calls...which is bound to happen in the playoffs, he'd get a lot more respect as a coach from me.
Boxers also often need s ches to close cuts, their corner guys get one minute to stop it and then their guy gets punched in the face for three minutes after that, and they get to use bandages which they don't in boxing, I wouldn't be surprised if a good boxing cutman could have taken care of it...
I agree that the gash was quite large...probably an inch long running down the bridge of his nose. The trainer, at that point, should have made the right call and s ched it up. He kept applying bandages (wrong shape at first) over and over again, and on top of other bloody bandages. The corners of the bandages were bothering his eyes, and to make it worse, I'm pretty sure he got some blood and/or whatever they were applying to the cut in his eye as well.
There's no way he goes out on the court like that, dripping blood all over the place.
I like the way the doc's gloves and shirt are harmonised !
Maybe he should have care more about the nose than his total look !
in one of those pics, nash looks a bit like hannibal lecture.
If a small artery is cut, it has got to be s ched up. And the nose is covered with small superficial arteries. No "cutman" in the world can stop it without s ching it. He needed five minutes of direct pressure on the wound followed by suturing it closed. The bandaids were a joke and the team doctor knew it. He was just being pressured to get Nash back in the game.
Not for the queesy
The worst thing that happened that sending him back out there with new bandages, it's been said several times. The trainer was a complete dumb not to realize that the cut needed stiches. Even in such a high intensity, high profile game like this, the health of the player should be more important than winning the game (and I'm not just saying that because it was Steve Nash, if it had been Tony, I would have been wondering the same thing).
As for the blood rule, it's a necessary rule and I'm shocked that more sports don't have it. It's necessary because blood isn't a common side effect, like in soccer, hockey, or football. I say that because in soccer and football you get scarpped and banged up, whereas hockey there are blades involved. The only thing I can honselty see blood being involved in in basketball, on a common basis, is running into someone who may have too long of nails or some crap like that.
Some may say the game may have turned out differently is Nash had played, and my rtesponse is, " happens."
And they got the Sun's colours

The refs should never have let him back in the first time. We were discussing this at the GTG. If they refused to let him back in, maybe the Suns run him into the locker room, take 3 quick s ches, and have him back out there for the last 1:30 or so.
I feel bad for the folks that had to watch that in HD. Gross.
True the first time he came back in, he was dripping on the floor and then wiping his face with his jersey.
