Westbrook plays more like Nash than Harden does

Bro...what?

Did you watch Nash play? He didn't play like Westbrook or Harden. Even remotely.

 

Use to love Nash's dunks

 

Nash played like a better facilitating Curry on a shots restriction.

 

I have hope for Bruno. I think MDA can unlike something in him.

 

Nash would be more like James if he shot more, which he should have. He has an amazing ability to score but was a little too Stockton like at times trying to get others involved. The suns were so much more dangerous when he was in attack mode.

 

We need an Amare’ kinda player. That’s what we are missing.



I think we still learning with this new system. Especially on defense.
But we need 2 more guys that can shoot decent on 3pt.

 

But which one is more like Patrick Ewing?

 

Aside from pushing the tempo they play nothing alike.

Nash relied far more on PnR and constant movement from himself and teammates. Westbrook is just a runaway freight train that attacks the paint and gets his assists from helpers leaving their man.

Harden in his first year with Pringles was far closer to Nash. Neither guys plays much like him now.

 

What Nash was one of the most intelligent players in league history. He would probe the defense till he found a passing angle or a great shot. Lol Russ is a bull

 

The only thing Nash and Suns ish, is their postseason record.

Around WCF.

The Suns had better role players than the Rockets.

Iso Joe was just a pedestrian role player albeit a good one back then.

I recall them Suns having 6 or 7 guys in double figures all the time.

Nash was far from being a pure driver like Russ, he wasn't as fast as Russ, nor was he overly athletic.

2nd tier greatest shooters, amazing footwork.

He pushes like Russ but thing was everyone on the Suns was pushing the pace.

 

first year jimmy on mda is way better, today he just dribble dance 100x then take a shot

 

Nash didn't have a restriction on him. could have shot as many times as he wanted

 

You mean the inefficient iso 3 that Harden turned into the most efficient shot in his arsenal?

Yeah, first year with MDA he was not nearly as dominant a player.

 

I believed in the dribble dribble dribble with Capela in there... it's not working now. I personally think he needs to get the play going in the front court quicker now. We've got options in the playbook that we're not getting to when James slows it down.

I'm really liking Westbrook on Harden's right though now. Defender sinks off Westbrook and moves towards Harden. Harden's timing on when to make that pass has been on-point lately. Gotta give credit to him for that.

 

Shaqtus.

 

I meant his play-making side that year so is deadly.
