you couldn't have asked for a streak like that to have happened to a better guy. you gotta love how nash shoots 90% every year and still works and gets better and better at the free throw line.

Nice streak, but geez, Steve, do you have to end it with a critical miss and the game on the line?

Great streak, but I'm glad it's over, in a way. I couldn't bear to watch him at the line for the last few games, and it was getting to be a distraction (to me, at least -- I'm not sure Nash cared). I think he's pretty well poised now to go after the all-time mark for career percentage, isn't he? He's currently number two.

It was fun while it lasted

Nash has to make his next 28 in a row to pass Barry. Through tonight, he is 2003-2229 (.8986), and Barry is 3818-4243 (.8998). Making the next 28 would put Nash at 2031-2257 (.8999).

good thing the radio crew wasn't jinxing him...

every time he went to the line, "remember nash has hit his last 70 attempts."

Bender was jinxing him too. Majerle yelled at him every time.
