Steve Nash - Valiant Effort vs. Parker and the Spurs (2007 WCSF Game 1)

http://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/200705060PHO.html

2007 Western Conference Semi Finals Game 1

The Spurs drew first blood in the WCSF. Steve Nash poured in 31 points and dished out 8 assists but it wasnt enough as the Spurs were able to escape with the pivotal game 1 win Phoenix. Steve and Tony Parker collided heads late in the 4th. Parker was fine after a few minutes but Nash cut his nose open. He couldn't stop the bleeding enough to stay on the court for the rest of the game. Steve had taken over the Suns offense in the 4th quarter. Without Nash on the court, the Suns scored just 2 points on Amare Stoudemire freethrows. If Nash was able to play the last 54 seconds, who knows how the game had ended.

Did he ever check back in during those last 32 seconds?

[KarlMalowned32]

@samxyx The Spurs lead 111-106 with 3 seconds left when Nash returned...the outcome was already decided by then

[KarlMalowned32]

It seems a lot of you are questioning the 7-1 stat so lets explore this further.

Duncan over Nash happened:

1998 First Round

2001 WCSF

2003 WCF

2005 WCF

2007 WCSF

2008 First Round ok so I was wrong about 7 its actually 6...but Nash's 1 still stands..in 2010...the only one all of you seem to be remembering.

[chris78253]

The Spurs own Steve Nash

[KarlMalowned32]

@chris78253 Duncan is 7-1 I think vs. Nash in the playoffs...ownage indeed

[dwaynewade200]

lol they put 4 points up on his first shot initially

[KarlMalowned32]

@dwaynewade200 and gave him 6 points on his second shot initially...

[Cmbeastly]

One of e greatest pg's of all time's only chance to win a championship... Poor guy.

@cookieboivishu1234 HAHA that's alot of ifs pal...Spurs beat them before and after this year. Best teams always win 7-game series if you need to come up with excuses why Suns lost FOUR times to san antonio in this series to get some sleep then do so. Spurs beat them 6 times in the Duncan era (that 24 wins) very lucky I guess lol

0:03 look at the score

[dog19941]

tbh.. how many times has nash broke/cut his nose? :L

[keytsai]

NASH真男人!!

[YoungKnick23]

wow nash is this good..... scores 4 points with one shot attempt

[undertakerex111]

what's the song name at 4:33 ??

[clutchcity25]

98: the Suns got spanked, they couldn't handle the twin towers. 01, Dirk was a matchup problem but Nash got manhandled the whole series. '03 Dirk got hurt, '05 Joe Johnson got hurt, and of course the '07 suspension. In '08, Shaq was a step too slow guarding Duncan. We all know what happened in '10.

[TheDonkeyFLOPPER]

Fuck tony parker

people here in san antonio talk about him and ginobili like they're gods of the sport
