Hopefully he'll fall apart with Denver, he's a wanker.


Stop hating on him... you just don't want another white point guard winning MVP :crazy:

He's given me reason to "hate" on him. The guy was abysmal with Milwaukee and was an embarrassment to those horrible green and red jerseys. Just because he's had a couple of decent games for Denver doesn't suddenly make him a God.

And if Steve Nash wins another MVP award I'm abandoning the NBA and following baseball, steroids and all.

Yeah, I always thought he was one of the worst players alive. I'm just amused that a guy who looks like a rat and doesn't do shit with any other teams suddenly becomes a more-than-solid point guard (even if it is just 2 games) on a team with JR Smith, AI, and soon to be Melo.

EDIT: If he continues playing like this (and they don't trade him to Cleveland), he may continue starting so AI can play the 2 and have JR coming of the bench.

guy who looks like a rat


so im not the only one who thought that :P

Blake playing shit was probably due to Stotts substitution patterns. Initially when Bucks got him i thought they got a good deal.

This year Steve Nash still stands out as a MVP candidate. He along with Kobe, Lebron, Nowitzki, and Garnett. I don't think Nash deserved it the 2nd time he won it though.

don't worry, Dirk will win it this year....they'll rest Nash down the stretch....Kobe has to be a look now that he plays more in the team concept, although I'd have to go with Dirk 1, Nash 2, Kobe 3, Wade, Boozer, Gilbert, James etc....

but if all else fails with NBA, revert to college ball....after all, anything is better than baseball....I'd even prefer to watch rugby league, world series poker, cheerleading, caber tossing & ice skating over baseball :shock:

I'm gonna hold onto my "I told you so" for a bit longer, the 25pts was probably a fluke :lol:

Earl had 30 points today. Trade looks good in the early going.

lol that's why? but then again, i had the same hate for Pargo.

even if Boykins put the Nuggets defense at a big disadvantage, he was a difference maker for that team. i don't know why but for some reason whenever he scored a basket, it gave the team such a big spark.. similar to how Darrell Armstrong was for Orlando. i think the team will miss this

Blake may be 6'3 but he's an anemic like 172lbs. that really isn't much of a size upgrade. plus he's not a good defender. we'll see how he does against better teams but you would think the opportunities will be there with Iverson and Anthony getting him open looks
Jump.

Having watched the Magic/Hornets game a couple of days ago, I know the feeling.

Talk about Pargo, that shot was so... interesting, he just chucked it, like a child trying to throw something as far as possible.

yep, Basketball wise Denver wins this trade. Blake is playing like he did last season in Portland....just the player Milwaukee needed, someone that might actually pass the big guys the ball.
