One negative this season is that Nash is 5th in assists.


Nash had the Suns firing on all cylinders, distrbuting the ball and flying up and down the court. Then the owner had the bright idea of landing that beached whale Shaquille O'Neal, who slowed down the tempo considerably.

The Nba is just garbage these days. I haven't watched a full game in years. I check stats on some white players such as Nowitzki, Nash, and Biedrins daily though. I remember some years back they were saying the NBA would be 50 percent international players in the future. This hasn't happened. The racist John Thompson said the international players were taking away jobs from Americans. He meant to say the white international players. Today most of the better whites are from other countries. That is the only thing that has changed. There are less and less white american players in the game. I swear the league must have policy of how many whites can play in a given season. Gone are the good old days of watching Tom Gugliotta dominate on the Timberwolves and Stockton put on a clinic in Utah. The current NBA is just depressing.

Nash thrived in Coach D'Antoni's up-tempo system. Now, (as Bart alluded to) with Shaq and new head Coach Terry Porter implementing a slow down, half-court offense Nash is adjusting. I think this is foolish however. Using Nash in this manner is like owning a Ferrari and only driving it 30 mph.

does anybody know anything about Luke Ridnour of the Bucks? I dont follow basketball that much but the Hornets are playing the Bucks and watched a little bit of it, this guy looked pretty damn good from what i saw, and the stats for him read like he was having a solid night, he made a nice 3 pointer and the only thing the black announcer said was "he looks like he should be playing in a junior high league"
WTF? Chris Paul looks like Carlton from Fresh Prince but nobody degrades him like that, especially after a good performance.

Luke Ridnour is from Oregon U., by way of Idaho (birth place). This guy has a game that is similar to either John Stockton or Steve Nash. He was originally drafted by the Seattle Supersonics "aka" Oklahoma Thunder. He was previously a player on the rise until a series of injuries and stupid coaching decisions ruined his potential. He is as of now enjoying a 2nd life in Milwaukee, until a recent injury derailed him. He is slowly playing his way back into the game. He managed a great game today:

14 points

4-10 FG's
4-6 3pt's
2-2 FT's

2 rebounds
3 assists

Milwaukee lost though 95-94 to New Orleans. This guy has the game. A really decent and solid player. I think the guy who said "he should be playing in a junior league" meant for it to be a joke. Yeah, right, FUNNY!!!!
