"Two or three years ago, coach Mike Woodson developed what the team calls โthe Nash ruleโ to dictate how it would defend the two-time MVP on the pick-and-roll.
โHe dissected people off the pick-and-roll,โ Woodson said Thursday. โNobody knew how to play him, and people still donโt know how to play him. We struggle to play him because heโs so good at it.โ
"
The rule hasnโt seemed to be that effective.
Over the last three seasons, the Suns are 4-1 against the Hawks, and Nash has averaged 19 points and almost 11 assists.
Whatever Woodsonโs rule consists of, he should change it before tonight. Everyone knows there is only one rule that can stopย Steve Nash .
The Nash Rule: Bust open his face.
Just ask the San Antonio Spurs and Indiana Pacers. It worked for them.
