nash lost the game...

[ambchang_]

Hmm .. how about the Spurs concentrating their whole defense on Nash, and just decided to let Diaw beat them (last two games)? Nash is a great offensive player, and yes, he has to share some of the blame for losses, but the Spurs made it quite clear after Game 1 that they are not going to let Nash stop them. The strategy is to take the ball out of his hands as much as possible, and let players like Stoudemire and Diaw make decisions. Even with that in play, Nash played better than most could.

On defense however .....

this has to be started now.

nash played pathetic. turnovers. missed shots.

he's aged before our eyes...

Did I miss something?

His playoff stats were

16.2 PPG 7.8 APG 45.7% shooting and 2.8 turnovers

It was a collective effort; everyone panicked in the last 2 minutes. Boris passed the ball to the corner where someone was supposed to be (but wasn't). Nash dribbling in traffic and gets picked, etc, etc.

i was a little harsh on nash. but the fact is that when we needed him the most. he turned it over, 3x in the last 2min.

the lost was cumilative.
1) starting w/ missed F/T's(most by shaq)

2) barbosa playing no D, dumbtoni leaving him in the 4th qtr too long.
he jacked up two 3ptrs only to miss.

3) refs(i hate to complain) TD & TP trip themselves. shaq manages to touch the ball last, Joey C. refuses to make the call as TD stares him down(im exagerrating)

4)refs part2: stat goes in, TD rapes him no call. soon after TD charges into nash, either way no call?


5) t/o's. diaw does a jump-pass into the crowd. should have hit coach Pop. not to mention Nash's T/o's.

To Diaw's defense, a shooting guard was supposed to be there. I think Bell got confused. He thought they posted Amare instead of Diaw and figured he was more likely to win lottery than get a pass.

Blame Nash if you want he is still suns engine and as long as he dosent worsen his back during the offseason playing pickup soccer game. I am sure he will be fine.

 

[joshstmarie]

Nash aged when hill went down.

 

[S_Nash]

It's actually my fault guys...

I didn't post at all for the first three games. Then before game 4, I predicted a Suns loss.

I should've done the same for game 5, but alas, I did not predict.

So again, if you must blame anyone. BLAME ME!

(BTW, does anyone else over think stupid stuff like this?)

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Nash does the run into the paint and throw it to the other team too much. That cost us the game. As well as Diaw's great pass into the crowd. He got nervous.

hey, that was the right move. the crowd was open.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Sorry, I just got tired of writing about how bad the entire team was this series. Barbosa definitely had a hand, as did all the Suns, I wasn't trying to excuse anyone from blame

c'mon, barbosa's arm was hanging from a thread.
