32-23 +11.40 units
1-0 last night.
Tinsley +5.5 (Points/Assists) vs. Nash {1.1/1}
Nash has shot 2-8 and 3-10 since he aggravated his hyperextended right elbow in the game on Friday. If you watched the Knick game Sunday, all his jumpers looked flat and short. Now, Phoenix has to play Toronto tomorrow night. If they get up big, to the bench goes Nash. Even if they don't get up big, he won't play more than 35 or so minutes tonight. Dantoni is really going light with him this year, all about the playoffs of course and he's 34 years old now.
Indiana, conversely, has 2 days off after this game. Tinsley will play 40 minutes and will be on the attack against the helpless Nash from the opening tip. Nash can get abused by stronger PG's, as we've seen repeatedly with Baron and Cassell. Obrien's plan for this game will be to attack Nash relentlessly with Tinsley. He dropped 24 in each of his last 2 home games, and just dropped 29 vs. the Clipps. He will abuse, and I do mean abuse, Nash tonight. And Nash has to cover him, there's no choice. Nash can't switch over and let Bell cover Tinsley, b/c there's simply nobody else for Nash to cover. Joke line.
More to come. I'll post 'em as I play 'em.
