Ball Don't Lie:
Phoenix
at Philadelphia
We know what kind of year Steve Nash(notes) is
having (around 18 per game, 12 assists), and we're aware of what kind of
year his
Phoenix Suns are enjoying. You're probably aware that the Philadelphia 76ers are a .500 team, that Sam
Dalembert tries a lot of shots that he probably shouldn't, and that Elton Brand(notes)
is looking more and more like Sharone Wright with every passing day.
But take a gander at Louis Williams(notes).
15 points per game, and about 10 combined assists and
rebounds per contest. He's making 49 percent of his shots, and in an offense
that often asks you to create a pin-point two-hand bounce pass from 22 feet
away, deep into traffic, Lou is averaging just 1.3 turnovers a game.
Nash played last night, Williams did not. Safe to say, as
well, Nash has a few years on Williams. Or is that the other way around?It's an early start, and the dreaded final game of the road
trip for the Suns. The Suns, who are pretty old, but also pretty well prepa...

Steve Nash Goes 20-20, Suns Go to 7-1
by Brett PollakoffFiled under: 76ers, SunsBe honest: you didn't think that after eight games were played in this young NBA season that we'd be talking about the Phoenix Suns as one of the best teams in the league. But after Monday night's come-from-behind win in Philadelphia to finish a five-game road trip at 4-1, that's exactly where we find ourselves.Behind 21 points and 20 assists...
SLAM #92
Originally published in SLAM 92
The 6th Man: Steve Nash is the 2005 NBA MVP. He was the catalyst for the most exciting team in the League last season. And, from our experience, he’s one of the coolest and least-affected guys in the game. Given all that, he’s more than earned his first SLAM cover.
So here it is.
With all due respect to Nashty Nash, though, I’m gonna use the...

The Post Up: Nasty Nash

Another day another W for the Phoenix Suns.
Also another 20-point, 20-assist performance from Steve Nash.
It’s like they heard about the praise we were giving them in here or something. I didn’t get to catch the game because Canada decided to show an old Raptors game instead –yeah, wasn’t so psyched about that decision–...
Hey NBA......PLAY YOUR GAMES!!!!
The NBA playoffs make no sense.
Remember when the first round of the NBA playoffs was a best-of-five?? Yet, for some reason it took two weeks to play that series. I am a Lakers fan....and I'd routinely see the Lakers play Game 1 on Sunday afternoon then Game 2 on Friday night. Yeah, FOUR OFF DAYS between two games played in the same city.
The NBA did for TV, as they could...
