    Ha, really? XD

    There's always a team that Nash can't get past.

    It WAS the Spurs, and now it is the Lakers.

    Wish Nash could win a ring with another team, but isn't locked up for the next 2-3 years?

    He should. The NBA teased him with a championship, when in actuality they were just wearing out his legs and back in a foregone conclusion.
    <p>
    Stern was never going to let these guys go to the Championship.

    If nash really wants a ring that bad, he should go back up derrick rose in chicago and jump on the Lebron train

    Why did Pheonix not play Nash and Dragic at the same time?
    I know their defense might have been suspect but . . .the offense should have rolled

    Looks like you are the one taking it personally, not me.

    Nash is a first ballot HOF player.

    Great point, I thought the turning point was at the 6 minute TO when Gentry had a chance to sub Nash for Barbosa and didn't. To make matters worse when he did sub it was taking Dragic out... :confused:

    You called me a hater, and you have no argument. You are stupid. It's not personal -- you're stupid. And you prove it again here because you couldn't make a case for anything except "OMGZ KOBE #1".

    If you can't see that LeBron is the superior player, that's fine. But don't go and base it on team success or a series against the PHX Suns.

    Completely agree with that. Dragic was on fire, slicing through the Lakers at will. With two driving and passing playmakers in the game, they would've been unstoppable.

    Not going going to say Nash is overrated. The 2 straight MVPS wasnt a sham. But Nash almost getting got a 3rd straight MVP WAS. Everyone knows Kobe Bryant shoulda had at least 1 more MVP.

    The Dragic had been unleashed but for some reason, they chose to leash him.

    The two PG set was working with Barbosa not playing particularly well. They couldn't defend the Lakers either way so they might as well have tried Nash and Dragic.

    The commentators mentioned that he was bout to Sub Nash for Barbosa
    Then Barbosa made that good move to the basket and hit the layup
    then I think the lakers answered and they called a time out.

    Then when they came back . . .Gentry had inserting the whole starting line up.
    I just shrugged off.

    So we're still the only team to take these lakers to 7 games? Hope Boston beats them in 5.

    Back up Derrick Rose?

    Heck no! Nash would take over the starting position the day he goes to the Bulls.

    Not only did Dragic come out, but most of the players on the court, iirc.

    It went from

    Dragic
    Barbosa
    Dudley

    to

    Nash
    Richardson
    Hill

    You think so? Nash is great but at this point in his career do you think he is a better option than derrick rose?
