Nash blew a 3-1 lead with home court and kevin durant going for 50.

any other coach in the league wins in 6 or certainly doesnt lose the series.

Nash lost this series, not injuries.

I agree, g. I have been disappointed with Nash this season, but I wouldn't expect many NBA head coaches to pull out a series win with so many players dropping like flies.


He had the best player in the series, home court, and a 3-1 lead. everyone on the planet would love to be in that spot.


As a comparison, Ty Lue was 2-2 against the jazz without home court and Paul George instead of durant and won that series in 6.

Nash was terrible in games 1 and 2 as well.

Having super elite players dominate dispite your incompetence doesnt mean good coaching.

Nash is the worst coach in league history and it isnt even remotely close. He only has a job because of marks.

Marks should be removed for giving his incompetant, unqualified, white buddy a job over dozens of more qualified minorities/women

F marks he can go to hell

I think Nash's inexplicable decision not to attack Lopez and Connaughton on forced switches in Games 4 and 6 should be criticized, we have a lot of revisionism going on here. Yes, injuries played a huge factor, but I can't help but think what could have been if Nash wasn't so slow to react to everything.

That being said, we did not have a 3-1 lead. We had a 2-0 lead and a 3-2 lead....and blew it.

Minor correction: We lost games 3&4. Nash had a 3-2 lead with a homecourt decider.

CP3 not doing himself any favors playing like marquis teague in a game they had a late 9 point lead.

Officiating makes these games so hard to watch. no flow.

I've watched here and there but honestly I'm still pissed. I just want Phoenix to win. Seeing the Bucks win would be a disgrace.

Giannis is the dirtiest player in the league. Dude could have seriously injured Booker on that dunk. I can't stand this piece of ****.

Man, I've never seen a player I always rooted for just... turn from the 'good guy' to the 'bad guy' like this.

I'm lacking words at this point, and I typically have some stoopid sh-t to contribute.
