So Steve Nash had an off-night last night. He just couldn’t find his shooting rhythm and never became an offensive threat. He ended up with only 4 points, shooting only 2-of-7.
So what does he do?
He gives out 21 assists.
Translation: He was directly involved in at least 42 of Phoenix’s points without even taking a shot. And his team won.
I suspect there’s something to learn in there somewhere.
Special thanks to Steve Kerr, one of Yahoo!’s NBA writers, for this little nugget.
And to Kobe for being a tad dense when it comes to things like speaking…
Quote of the Week
“He doesn’t seem to have much of a conscience. I haven’t gotten used to that mentality of just chucking it up there.” – Kobe Bryant after Gilbert Arenas exploded for 60 points in a win at Staples over the Lakers. As Alanis Morissette would say, “Isn’t it ironic?”
Just for the record…
As of today, December 23, 2006, the current NBA season is 1/3 finished. If the playoffs started today, the Toronto Raptors would be division champions and the #4 seed in the Eastern Conference with a record of 12-15.
Not bad for a rebuilding year with an injured star.
Keep fighting, Dinosaurs!
Head coach Kent Austin…
Time for a new era in Riderville!
If Austin can lead us to another Grey Cup now in the role of coach, I suspect the province will give him a gold-plated grain elevator, a highway named after him, his image etched into a canola crop, a guest appearance on Corner Gas, and status as the official saint of Saskatchewan.
Come on Kent–go for the gold!
“To be the man, you’ve got to beat the man.” That’s what Ric Flair used to say back in my wrestling-watching years.
Yesterday, the Lions’ domination of the Riders just proved: Yeah, they’re still “the man”! We lost in every part of the game, and I don’t even know what we did wrong. The Lions were simply firing on all cylinders, and we couldn’t match up with it. Nothing more to say…
Except…
There’s always next year.
