It was already painful to see how we lost that 19pt but I guess we are all USED TO IT. 19pt lead really means nothing to this team. The only thing that matters is to out score again, and again and again.
I hope Nash can find his shot back in game 6. Marion deserves a lot of rest. I know Clipper will do everything they can to win game 6 but they are just equally as tired.

jibikao said:I don't know how Nash just LOST it like that. He is one of the better shooters in this league. It still remains mystery to me. Some of his layups look like it took a lot more energy/pain than just a simple jumpshot. How many times did Nash fall down after a layup and a pass in the air? They seem to take a lot more energy than a simple jumpshot if you know what I mean. I think Nash just totally lost his confidence in shooting and it's obvious. I thought Nash would bring it back tonight since he's been cold for 2 games already. He is COLDER tonight. He at least made a crucial jumpshot in game 3 to steal a home game. If I remember correctly, Nash did not make any outside shot tonight and it's beyond believable.
Gaddabout said:Nash says his body's not responding because he's tired. I was convinced it was his back, but Nash just says his legs are tired. That would kill a jumpshot. Even still, he would've won at least one game of horse tonight with the circus shots he was putting up around the rim.
