NBA Obsessed takes you into the hit and run game of NBA Basketball.
If you are Steve Nash and you are going to sit out some NBA basketball games, you might as well play soccer
Nobody lives forever and apparently nobody starts most NBA games forever. Steve Kerr is planning to play Steve Nash in only 70 of the teams 82 games. That is the plan anyway.
Steve Kerr is a disciple of Gregg Popovich, the coach of the Spurs. His theory is to keep his star players rested for the playoffs.
Looking at Tim Duncan’s minutes, Popovich has rested his big guy more and more over the course of the first half of the season — when the Spurs often get written off — and then works him up to full speed in the second half, when they “coincidentally” move to the top of the standings.
Nash played in all but one of the regular-season games last season.
Should be interesting to see if Steve Kerr pulls this off. Steve Nash often looks like the energizer bunny on the floor and it is hard to see him wanting to sit any games out let alone 12 of them.
As always, any NBA Basketball related comments are welcome.
