Yes because Nash is an defensive first team player.

I really like what the coaching staff did last night. The team was flowing really well, the plays seemed far less structured and more like basketball. I've been on wittmans case quite a bit, and I like whatever adjustment he made. He adjusted his sets slightly to the players ability to execute them.

The team still needs to get to the line more though

man they weren't kidding when they said they were simplifying the playbook. they must've ran that play with Miller coming off that baseline screen 20 times.

I missed the game last night and just checked the box scores. Holy cr*p! Wasn't expecting 23/14 from Foye. It's about time! Arrrooooo.

Yeah, they clearly simplified things. And the jumpers were flowing at a greater rate as well. The team just flat out looked looser. Even when Detroit cut it to like 6, they still looked a ton more comfortable than they have in the past. Foye looked like he was "unleashed" a little bit to just ball it up and he came through. Hopefully this means he'll be more free in the future as well.

Okay, no lie, I went through the schedules in recent years. The last time from what I saw that we beat a team by 20 on the road, ANY team, was March 26th, 2005 when we stomped New Jersey 96-75. Is it me or is that an absolutely ridiculous amount of time between road blowouts. Of course, there have been few road wins period over the last three years I guess, so I shouldn't be that surprised. But still....lol.
