Nash Discussion: No harmony, no chemistry, no system (159)

Dissapointing to say the least ... one of the reasons he's struggling that much is our bigs can't set good screens to save their life .

^ James Worthy touched on that in post game show. I agree. We have to set better picks. Also, Mike D said we also have to move the ball faster. All in all Nash got bothered by the traps and no one moved enough to make them pay for it.

Oh, guys...he just had some bad plays in the end of the game. Overall, he played fine.
As I said many time before, his defense is the weakness point to Lakers, especially at PG position. We start him only because his offensive creation. Just give him help in defense, especially he is a 40 year old man.

well damn now I change my mind. It had nothing to do with him not beating the trap and getting the ball out. The Lakers not getting into the offense because the ball was stuck at the top for 15 of the 24 seconds. It has to be his defense which wasn't the problem.

Steve Nash postgame interview.

"We're lacking cohesion. We need to stick to the script. We defect from the script too much."

What is the script? Can someone fill us in?

What is this "script", he's talking about?

We don't know because the players are defecting from the script too much.

We must be dreaming right now and this is all a movie that he's producing

I would imagine Kobe taking 32 shots wasn't in the script.

looked amazing last season for the suns. wish the bigs screened and rolled and worked as hard as those that surrounded nash there.

Yup. That's Nash's way of calling out Kobe. No doubt about it.

just run

When I listened to that interview, it sounded like he was calling out other aspects of Kobe's game too. I can't say for sure though since I didn't see today's game.

This is an overreaction and not totally representative of how I actual feel ... but I wouldn't be against trading Nash back to Phoenix for our first round picks.

Pau for Gortat

Everyone's done it this year. Dwight, Gasol, Nash. They can't figure out who to point the blame to, because they think they're a lot better. No one can accept the reality that this loaded team on paper flat out sucks.

wtf is he doing on the floor anymore.....you are 40 years old, retire and go home!!!

well yes...I never liked Nash and his game so I wasnt so thrilled when he come to our team....its just my personal opinion, I dont like him,I just dont like players who cant play D .... maybe 5-6 years ago he was productive but now, he make TO ,cant score, and he is one of the worst PG defensive players in the league....its simple as that

too much of a liability on defense

Understatement. I thought FIsh was bad and I knew Nash will be bad.....but damn, not THIS bad. No doubt Nash is the WORST backcourt defender in the league. It's not even close.

Nash has the triple whammy for defenders:

1. Short.
2. Slow.
3. Old.

Meh. This team's collectively bad on that end. He's not worse than Steve Blake on D, and his O is a big upgrade. He's still a very good PG.

I don't mind trading him. I am in favor of blowing this team and rebuilding around D12 at the moment.

You don't pick up a PG like Steve Nash because you care about his defense. He's not doing anything different defensively this year than in the past, I don't know why you guys are bringing it up like it matters much at all.

can't wait for Blake to come back and back up Nash. play better d and o than Duhon and Blake combined and then maybe that'll help get Meeks some mins
