He was just trying to stop the play. When you are down trying to make a run you don't have anytime to think you just have enough time to react.

He's been with this team long enough (A couple of years) as an assistant coach to cook up some systems and implementing them into a shattered team isn't difficult. We have yet to see that his substitutions and such when we still have injuries scattered all over the bench. Don't give me the 'not enough time' junk. You had better arguments that you missed and went with what would be easy. Remember this: Herb has been with New York for a while now.</div> Herb has done as good a job as could be expected. It's not just a matter of showing the guys one or two of the plays that he's cooked up. There are dozens of sets and in each there are things you need to stress to the players, which takes time, it takes practice. If you think you can do better perhaps you should phone Isiah.

I mean he basically grabbed his neck and put him in a headlock. That was just dirty.
Yeah it did look like that but, the intent was not to do that. When you're trying to make a run and a crucial play like that takes place, you can only react and not think about the best thing. It did look a bit overly aggresive but, it was just one of those "I just need to stop him" kind of plays.
^I get what you are saying. To me it looked just like a dirty play. The game was out of reach and Nash was just running the break. There was no play for the ball whatsoever, just a play for Nash' neck. I kinda got pissed that the Phoenix players didn't do anything, but oh well. As long as he wasn't injured.
