Jeff Van Gundy "Nash gets away with more yelling at the refs than anyone else"

[Caliballfan]

or somethin like that lol. Well yea JVG said that Nash gets away with more bitccching and moaning at the refs than anyone else. Agree or disagree?

 

[slinslin]

Maybe he wanted to say Tim Duncan and accidently said Nash, I could only hope because this comment is ridiculous otherwise.

 

[YouJustGotSUNSD]

And Kevin Garnett is allowed to get on all fours and bark, and finger wag.

And duncan is allowed to complain to refs longer than anyone else

And....

 

[carey]

I heard that. JVG is a D-bag. I was actually going to start a thread titled "JVG is a D-bag" but now I don't have to.

 

[Bufalay]

Nash is a huge whiner.

 

[carey]

No more so than any other 2 time MVP that gets ZERO respect and / or calls from officials.

 

[Andrew]

Duncan is the biggest cry baby this league has ever seen.

 

[Bufalay]

It is fine the question the accuracy of the claim that Nash gets away with more than anyone else, as Duncan and Kobe probably get away with more. However, Nash complains demonstratively all the time and probably deserves more technical fouls than he receives.

 

[Caliballfan]

^ fair enough.

 

[the_future23]

Nash complains every time down the floor. What's even worse, is that instead of hustling back and plays defense he justs walks back complaining to the ref.

Don't pick up the option for Nash this summer, trade Shaq, and go from their.

Trade J-Rich while were at it too. Dude straight up blows. The whole team does besides Amare and Barbosa.

Nash is probably fouled more than any other name player in the league with no-calls from the referees.

Go from their what? Their departures?

I disagree. I almost want the Suns to build around J-Rich, Amare, and Barbosa. (Even though I openly wanted Amare traded at the deadline.) Richardson could fill it up if he were a primary option along with Amare. Barbosa seems to have become a somewhat decent PG. I actually think the Suns have been playing better with Barbosa as their PG than Nash recently.

If stupid JVG has any brain, he would know Nash gets abused regularly and doesn't get the respect of a two-time MVP, but i guess "Loose mouth " syndrome runs in the family.

He does run his mouth, but he's right on when he talks about the suns needing to play defense, and even some of his suggestions about what to do exactly are good.

 

[elindholm]

Nash complains too much, but I wouldn't consider him the champion in that category.

 

[Andrew]

JVG comes off as the type of person that doesn't process what he says until after he says it. He thinks the trio of him, Mike Breen(?) and Mark Jackson are funny, when the only time they are funny is when they are trying too hard to be funny...and that is just funny because its sad lol.

 

[shazaam6]

He complains when he gets fouled and loses the ball or misses an easy shot. It is not his fault if the refs don't call a technical on him.

Maybe they think "If Nash is complaining, maybe I missed one." Why call attention to their mistake and have the league review the technical and a blown call also. They would be pointing out their mistakes. Just a thought.

 

[TucsonDevil]

I would say that Amare leads the team in complaining and showing up the officials, but it is a close race. As far as the league is concerned, Nash has a ways to go to be at the top, but JVG has a valid point.

 

[jbeecham]

JVG is a biased jackass. He consistently bashes the Suns every time he does one of their games. He'll call us out for bad defense all game long, but when we get uncontested shots or wide open layups he rarely makes comments about the Spurs bad defense on those plays.

It's idiotic for him to call out Nash for complaining in a game where Tim Duncan is playing and giving the Duncan Face the 1 time he was actually called for a foul (despite guarding Shaq the whole game). Duncan almost had more free throws (12) than our entire team (13)...... maybe thats why our guys were complaining.

I don't know why JVG hates us.... maybe it's because we used to run all over his defense wins championships Rockets & Knicks teams and made him look stupid every night.

 

[dodie53]

maybe nash doesn't get calls because he whines to much?

if that's the case,
i hope it works with duncan too

 

[YouJustGotSUNSD]

Nash gets molested when he drives in the paint. I would yell just as much as him.

 

[boisesuns]

Nash does get hit a lot, but his biggest complaints seem to be when he misses a shot or turns it over. He spends a lot of time complaining and not getting back to let the opponents guard drive by him.
