    Is the coach overplaying Nash 20 minutes in the 1st half? He rested Nash only 4 minutes. You got to give the old man some more rest.

    You can rest Marion, Bell and Amare for 4 minutes, but Nash ain't a young buck. :)

    nash has to win the mvp award. dirk is CHOKING and nash is thriving right now. 15 assists in the first half?!?! thats ridiculous. know its a regular season award, so does that mean they've already voted and are just waiting to release the results?

    Nash went out and laker came back to take the lead. This is pretty much a must win for the Sun too, since they don't wanna make this a 7 game series.

    Yeah, but if he doesn't rest Nash in the 3rd quarter. Nash will end up fading in the 4th quarter due to fatigue. Then, again, he isn't a choker like Dirk. He might last with 4 more minutes rest in the 2nd half.

    Is it just me, or is Walton throwing a lot of sh*tty pases this game?

    Might be Kobe time now.

    kidd had 14 assists in the 1st half last game. should he be the mvp, too?


    and man, marion just went crazy to start this half and the rest of the lakers did not step up on offense, while they tried to get them involved.

    every time kwame switches on nash, when nash passes off, he stops paying attention and just gives him an open 3.

    f4p, I understand your anti-Nash MVP agenda, but c'mon man, the Nets finished the season at .500. You went overboard with that one.

    odom finally came to the party.

    and geez smush, what a stupid 3 to take when you already have no confidence. let kobe or odom do something there. nash up to 20, going for 30 b/c the lakers keep letting him inside and don't guard anyone.

    well would the nets be any better than right around .500 if nash was their pg? i'm guessing not. anyway, nash is having a great game and will most likely have the playoff assist record when it's over. just doesn't mean he's mvp for one great game.

    and why does kobe keep jumping in the air and then passing off? he's done it like 3 times even though no one was really up to challenge any of the shots. just take the damn shot instead of throwing it away for a turnover.

    I'm guessing yes. Nash is shooting almost 13% better then Kidd during the regular season And avg 5 points more then Kidd. but most importantly, Nash = CLUTCH. He and Kobe is the best clutch player imo.

    Yes. And the Suns would be worse with the slower, worse shoothing Kidd, whose defense has been just as bad, if not worse than Nash this year (Seriously, watch the Nets and how Calderon, Parker, and Ford are using him up).

    Look, I agree with you tthat Nash isn't the automatic MVP, but your arguments are just off today.

    Also, i'm enjoying watching Kobe go to the rim. Hope TMac is watching.

    doesn't the "restricted area doesn't count" only apply to primary defenders, and not secondary ones like who kwame ran into?

    alright, i'll calm down on nash (although NJ still wouldn't be much of a factor and the suns would still run like crazy with kidd). i should be in a better mood considering i got to see miami swept out of the playoff today. man, nothing kobe does is going to matter if the suns never miss or the lakers don't play D. the only person who doesn't score seems to be whoever kobe guards on a possession.

    Nash is playing a blatant 3 second Defensive zone
    and Pheonix is the second most floppingest team in the league

    They maybe in Laker land. . but the calls are definately going pheonix's way

    Diaw has two hands in Kwame's back . . no call

    It seems like they REALLLY want The suns to win

    Suns seem to be the Darlings of this year
