On wednesday night the mavericks took on the suns in one of the best nba regular season games you are ever going to see. The suns went on to win it 129 to 127 in double overtime in a battle of the two best teams in the nba. I was watching it last night and with actually five minutes left and the suns down ten, the mavericks were up six with thirty seconds left as well, i turned the channel...never again. Thankfully i turned back to see the end, and to my suprise the suns came all the way back in crazy nashy fashion and won it. Even though this was just one game, this was a very symbolic, because, there have been a lot of debate over who is the nba mvp this year: nash or nowitski. You almost watched the game decide it right before your very eyes. They should have stopped the game and gave it to him right there. He is the one of if not the best point guard i have ever seen play the game. He does it all, scoring and play making as good or better then anyone ever. (magic you know i got love for ya). As far as dirk is concerned... forget it, you are not the nvp and as far as I'm concerned shouldn't be in the top five. He had two chances in the game to seal the deal and failed (missing a freethrow with six seconds left and not drawing the foul in the end as the player jumped on the fake and missing the game winning shot) an mvp doesn't consistently choke like that. I repeat, there is no way dirk nowitski should be or even be in the running for the most valuable player award. He is a big man who can't jump, defends ok, can't create for other players, and can't deliver in the clutch. Just because his team is having a great year, then he gets consideration...please.
Nash is amazingly clutch, he hits the game tying three pointer after getting a second chance at it, and then makes a great defensive play by stealing the ball off of jason terry and throwing the ball off his leg going out of bounds. He consistently scans the court, analyzing and distributing perfectly in a wonderful execution of basketball mastery. For all of you out there who think the nba stinks, i challenge you to watch the suns and tell me if you don't fall in love with there style of play. It is fast and smooth with everyone included and an emphasis on finding the open man...well of course it is nash that stirs that drink. I am now converted, i am now a true suns fan, formerly a die hard laker fan but i can no longer endorse a laker team that is about kobe and the other boobs. I find it very funny as well that dallas let nash get away in free agency to phoenix in trying to better defensively, this is a move that will never pan out for them...for in maybe getting better defensively they have sacrificed one of the best players i have ever seen with the basketball. Mr. nash here is your mvp trophy, and later this year you will get your nba championship trophy.

Damn, bro...you are a Steve Nash evagelist. Watched a bit of this game, but wish I'd seen the whole thing.
Though I've got to say I think your declaration yourself as a Suns fan is a little suspect. Come on, broski. One good buzz from a Suns gmae and now you're a fan? Maybe for the rest of the season, okay. Why not just go whole-hog for your native Boston and adopt the Celtics? If you live in the East, like us, rooting for west coast teams is like rooting for teams on the moon. "Sure, I'll root for Portland today, no, L.A., what about Utah? Hmm, I've always secretly had a thing for the Sonics..." You have a right to root for whoever you like, of course, but if you're serious, lets see some dedication.
nba?? why is that on espn?? it should be on the comedy channel. no plays, no fouls and short little refs running around making 6 figures for throwing games one way or the other. pathetic.
