Amazing, another clutch shot by Jack.

I thought Kobe would drain that to end it, OT.

13-36? Kobe has more shots than his whole starting lineup combined.

I only saw the 4th quarter and overtime.. but the offense looked so much better with Nash on the floor.. just beat one of the hotter teams in the league... on the road... holding them to 19 points in the 4th quarter.

Nash is incredible. Looked like he never missed a game.

Very impressed with GS. I hope they continue their success... Warrior fans deserve a good team that they can root for.

Nash played 41 minutes his first game back. I expect him to be worn down or injured again in 2 weeks. Lol Pringles you never learn.

Yeah, that's a lot for a first game back.

The 5 minutes of ot is in there too though.

Averaging 19/9 on high efficiency last 7 games. James Dolan is still an idiot.

You two obviously don't know how to properly calculate Lin stats. The good games don't count.

Looks like he's figured out how to play with Harden too. What a game from him.

Yep, I know I took a ton of heat around that Nash rumor time for not wanting him, but to think we almost gave up Shump as well.

Didn't we used to not agree about stuff or am I making that up?

So that means he played 36 minutes in regulation. He needs to be playing WAY less than that since he is two months away from 39. The difference between him and Kidd is that Kidd can take some plays off and just stand in the corner wait for the ball and rest.

Nash does not have that luxury. Those 36 minutes are full 36 minutes of having to run the offense. He can't take a rest at all. That guy is going to break down and then it will be all downhill for Pringles.

I fully agree that's alot of minutes, but make no mistake, Nash wasn't running the offense for that full amount.

From watching the game in almost it's total entirety, I'd say he had control of the offense in his style of play maybe 30%.

He should be right around 30.

The guy i was most impressed with is Artest.

In a sense, yeah. I had been since the Chandler trade. Lin just shook things up a bit.

Believe it or not, I've actually liked Melo since his SYR days as an upstater. Didn't like the trade though. The Billups portion looked too similar to the Hardaway portion of the Marbury trade and that was such a killer. Also, Stat was so exposed at C after moving Moz/Randolph. I worried he would be wasted. The team has since made lemonade with that - has addressed both problems - so I can't complain. They made a similar type of trade but this is quite obviously a different group of thinkers at the top. If Stat can come back healthy, I think he has the right players to protect him and obviously Melo has been fantastic, as well.

But I was definitely excited for Kidd rather than Nash this summer. One of the few.

Artest has been balling for them this year. I didn't think he would thrive in this offense but he has proven me wrong. He really looks a bit like old Artest.

Apparently Dirk is coming back for the Mavs.

Nice.

Mavs are looking like the weak team everyone projected them to be before the season started.

Wow Clippers completely embarrassed the Suns at home. Dragic was a non-factor against Paul.
I don't see the Clippers losing to the Nuggets and definitely not to the Celtics at home. I think the Jazz at home will be a problem for them. Its possible that they won't lose a game this entire month.
