ok ... steve nash has been the best point guard in this league for the better part of this last decade ... obviously, paul, rose, d. will and some others may seem more of an obvious choice but i support my theory with the following points:

1. amare stoudemire - absolutely lost without nash
2. mike d'antoni - not that great a coach without a pg
3. marcin gortat, channing frye and jare dudley ... these guys are scrubs and yet nash gets every ounce out of these guys ...
4. leading the league in assists despite being 38 years old and playing with scrubs

some team should make a deal for him at the deadline ...

i assume you are talking about the GM poll?

Nash is solid, but would you really prefer him over Rose?

actually ... no ... you got a link for this gm poll? ... i was just watching some highlights and reading about how amare has struggled ... and how the knicks should be better than they are ...

i did qualify my statement as the best pg ... doesn't necessarily make him the best player ... but if i was building a team for a 1 year run ... i just may take nash because he makes everyone around him much better but it's also a team game so it depends on who you else you got ... obviously, rose is the better overall player right now ...

if the playoffs were to end today the Cleveland Cavaliers would be in the playoffs and the Boston Celtics would be out :?

All in favor of a condensed season every year, say "aye."

spurs 0-5 on road thus far...

Losing Manu was a blow for that team... he's still a large contributor to what they do.

Blake has no shooting game and he is a douche that moaps on the court when things are not going well for him

Jeremy Evans was superior last night in terms of dunks too.

Good win for Utah!

I agree with you, I think Nash is one of the best but unappreciated guards in the league. All points you've made are valid, especially the D'Antoni one.

i don't have a link...check nba.com there was just a bunch of chatter during the broadcast yesterday about it...

Rose was voted best PG, Kobe best 2 guard....heat favored to win it all, followed by OKC, Lakers, Bulls....Bulls best defensive team.

Yeah, he is. Raja has picked up some steam too, I'd love it if he could stay consistent on the offense.

Truthfully, I am not too fond of Griffin. Alley-oops are only impressive for so long and I've seen him make some petty cheap shots w/other players. Eventually he's going to piss off someone who isn't afraid to punch his ass, and I hope I catch Sportscenter that night.

if you punched him hard enough, maybe his eyes would un-cross

did you catch the shot of him staring into space while riding the bench?

Wolves are looking to resign Kevin Love to a $60 million four-year deal. If he chooses not to sign, he will be a RFA this summer. His contract currently has a player option and he can return for next season, make 6.1 million and then become an UFA in the summer of 2013.

As the article on NBA.com says, this is a no brainer and is the best money that the T-Wolves can spend until Rubio's contract needs extension.

Wolves come into SLC this Saturday and I can't wait for that game. Rubio and Love are incredibly fun players to watch. Two players with really good looking careers ahead of them.

Was at the Spurs Heat game last night... Never seen a 3rd quarter quite like that...

makes me realize how clueless these gms are that andre iguadala wasn't mentioned as one of the best perimeter defenders in the league.

Unfortunately, the game falls smack in between paydays. :(

If something happens and I manage to get tickets between now and then, you're my first call buddy.
