Steve Nash out indefinitely

[AddiX]

The kind of injury it is, is very reminiscent of when billups came to ny. He was injured 3 times in not even half a season the same way nash was. Hasn't stayed healthy since.

I would be worried about Nash if I was an la fan.

they are winning without him and their defense is better than if he was there.

That's true, but you can only do so much with Blake, Morris, and Duhon as your PG's for so long.....

People are acting as if this injury had something to do with his age. It really didn't in any way. Freak play where he collided with another player at an awkward angle.

Over how many games?

Is SNash not the catalsyt to a chip?

Will they sustain without a superstar PG under MD?

Can Blake/Duhon get the job done?

I say no...

thats what Im saying, atleast our D is better and it gives us time to find a backup and lets the backup PG's learn the PG dependant system.

Kobe is playing the PG role in the offense until Nash is out. When Nash comes back, they will both run it from time to time. Kobe has been great with it.

But he's very old for b-ball at this point though, and because of that it's going to be a lingering issue for him throughout the season.

Everyone keeps talking about Bynum and Amare, but what about Nash? This Lakers team will never work unless Nash comes back to run the show. It seems like something that will linger for months.

Oh noez!!!

not really but is filling a distributor role

key is nash coming back as you stated

Unless they let him take extra time to come back and save the old mans legs. I think they should let him sit for another 3 weeks. 50 to 60 games is a good number for him to play.

it's working just fine right now 5-1 in the last 6 games... i do agree though we need nash bad

So, what else would the PG do on offense, besides distribute and score?

[LoveMeOrHateMe]

Hate to think it, but this is going to be Nash's last year. Once injuries start to take a toll on a 40 year old after he basically stayed relatively healthy his whole career, you know he sees the light approaching.

Agreed. Nash doesn't have the same 75-80 game player he used to be playing for this Laker team. I agree with what you said about Kobe filling the distributor role and how that's working out fine for now, so it's safe for Nash for miss time now. It's only November.
