The thread about Brooks or Nash better scorer got me wondering. Someone with more knowledge of the game might like to enlighten us on what the 'Nash rule' might involve ... as it appears effective against certain people as mentioned in the article. Also to note ... could teams use the same 'rule' against us? The article extract: "Woodson wouldn't divulge the specifics of it, but said that the team now uses the Nash rule against "anybody that's a pick-and-roll player." It hasn't worked so well against Nash. In five games against the Hawks in the past three seasons, Nash has averaged 19.0 points and 10.6 assists, and Phoenix has gone 4-1 in those games. He also has averaged 4.4 turnovers, a little less than a turnover more than his overall average for the past three seasons. The strategy appears to be more effective against some of Nash's point-guard colleagues. In five games this season involving Utah's Deron Williams, Boston's Rajon Rondo and Dallas' Jason Kidd -- the Nos. 3, 4 and 5 assist men in the NBA entering Thursday's games -- the Hawks have held them to an average of 9.2 points and 7.2 assists and gone 5-0."
