Nash sounded very upset after game. Post game quotes

Befuddled and frustrated. He's caught between two philosophies. Nash is trying to balance the two with his ball dominant instincts when he was with the Suns and incorporating the Princeton offense. A few times when Nash broke down the defense on his own last light, it led to a score or he found someone for one albeit they were late in the game.

QFT.

For those saying they are OK with the current offense--you think that using a 2-time MVP HOF point guard to bring, no, WALK the ball up the court and then relegate to a spot up shooter, is a winning strategy?

1) I don't care if we are "forcing" the offense at this early stage. We have STEVE NASH. Use him. Like actually USE him.

2) Terrible GM strategy. In this CBA, paying a guy $9M to amount to a ball-walking, spot-up shooting cog is gonna win you 0 titles and plenty of luxury tax.

Ridiculous. Poor Steve. And I thought the next statue we'd see at Staples was gonna be of Kobe.

I do not give a crap how you put it, Princeton, Triangle, Square, Pythagorean theorem, Steve Nash must have the ball and run the offense. How we are actually watching what we have watched the last 9 games is so mind boggling I cant even think straight to make logical comments about it during the game.

As long as Mike Brown is here, we are in trouble.

Our team looked so boring out there, Spurs like boring except Pimplevich knows how to use his players and they execute.

Let's be fair about this. Those 20 years....Magic's Lakers, Shaq + Kobe, Kobe + Pau. Bird's Celtics. MJ's Bulls. Duncan's Spurs. When he had real talent....he had to get past MJ's Bulls.

Can you really blame the guy for not winning a CHIP?

LOL at the deductive reasoning. That was probably Jimmy Buss's thought process.

Mike Brown hasn't been a head coach for 20 years, let alone 10.
If you don't like Jerry thats fine. Just use better rationale or provide an alternative. Thank god no NBA owner(s) thinks like this. Oh wait.

Wow. This should go to Hall Of Fame posts of CL.

Not many options right now to replace him.

Flip?

Sloan, JVG... damn, even Eddie Jordan being the ONLY coaching authority for both ends of the floor would work.

Charles Barkley could coach this team better..

When Charles makes more sense in his rambling stupidity on TNT than our entire offense, and lack of defense.. somethings very very wrong.

JVG is not going to coach Dwight after he just got his Stan fired.

Nash speaking truth: "We've got to find a way to win games in other ways while we figure this offense out..."

aka "I'm gunna run pick and roll with the best players in the world and mike brown can watch us win while doing so."

seriously hope he does what he's best at today. it's insane watching guys like harden join a team yesterday and play today and do so well bc the offense is standard stuff. we complained about not having a pg to run the offense and now that we do we don't use him...we have Steve Nash! Steve Nash!...use him and if he gets tired put Blake in and run the Princeton. Princeton should be use when Nash isn't in and needs a break. that would be a very difficult offense to defend bc it's Nash and then when he's out the offense can still be dominant. Nash isn't catch and shoot. use Blake for that and let Nash run wild and have a day with Dwight Kobe Pau metta etc to pass too. unbelievable how many people can be better coaches than mike brown and understand the simple things that need to be done. hope Nash saying this is saying he's gunna do pnr

time for a mutiny

Could this season be the most dramatic ever in the Kobe era?

I think it has a chance to surpass the 2004 championship lost season. Move aside Malone, Payton, et al. Coach Brown is going to cause enough frustration to scare away Nash and Howard in 1 season. Better hope Metta takes his meds or else all hell could break loose.

+1

He came here because he knew he couldn't be playing with the ball in his hands all the time like he was in Phoenix. It's an adjustment for him, but he has the shooting stroke to be a very good offball player and space the floor. This allows him to play 35 minutes a night at the age of 38.

Nash sounded upset? Oh, sorry, didnt see it. Apparently the Lakers org doesnt give a (bleep) if Laker fans can watch the game anymore or pre and post game coverage. Stay Classy....

Replace MB as the coach of Jazz in last 20 years, Malone and Stockton will leave the team in 2nd year.

Well, he never had any good team for 20 years... I mean c'mon their starting center was Ostertag!

If it wasn't for the Jordan-led Bulls, you know, arguably the greatest team of all time ... Sloan would be sitting at home with two shiny championship rings.

lol.. no kidding. Not to mention Sloan had to meet up with the Rockets twice in their prime in 1994 in the Western Conference finals and in 1995 in the 1st round.. lost both to an amazing Houston team lead by Olajuwon in his prime..
