Nash
Sometimes 146 -- as in points given up -- really is the lonliest number.The Philadelphia 76ers: The Sixers got what seemed like a pretty favorable matchup last night: the Suns on the second game of back-to-backs at the tail end of a five-game Eastern Conference road trip. Phill even built what looked like a reasonably comfortable 12-point halftime after the Suns came out flat for the first two quarters. Enter Steve Nash, who registered the first 20-20 in points and assists (21 points, 20 assists) since January 2, 2006...when he did it against the Knicks in New York with 28 points and 22 assists. But of course, Mike D'Antoni -- who's currently coaching the Knicks -- made Nash. Nash was nothing before D'Antoni coached him. Why, Chris Duhon put up Nash-like numbers last season. Okay, was my sarcasm obvious? I hope so.Anyway, Phoenix outscored the Sixers 65-49 in the second half to take a 119-115 victory. So much for fatigue, huh? Nash, of course, ran the rally, scoring 9 of...

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...

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...

Steve Nash.....Sans Hair

R.I.P. licked fingers. R.I.P. Kelly Leak. R.I.P. Karen Allen [the chick from "Scrooged"]. Phoenix Suns guard Steve Nash showed up at a basketball camp with a shaved dome. No hair. No greasy hair.

The Post Up: Nasty Nash

by Holly MacKenzie/@stackmack 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...
