On Tuesday’s live episode of “The Fix,” The Jones discuss the Lakers/Nuggets track meet, Nash’s brutal first half, Dwight’s free throws, a vintage Paul Pierce performance, the Celtics fouling-up-three strategy, Tyrone Corbin’s lineups, that ugly Wizards-Raptors game, Bradley Beal, Amir’s “Harlem Shake” video, and The Temptations.
All that, plus the worst NBA nicknames of all-time, whether Rubio could host the Oscars, and what we would write on our shirts/chests if we rushed an NBA court.

Denver resident here. The scoreboard in the arena moves just as quickly. I think the broadcast score and arena scoreboard are linked. I think the guy taking the score must keep his hand on those buttons the entire game. So annoying.
What’s the book off payoff gonna be
tas should smell ass
Skeets, I noticed the same thing. They added a point from a Steve Nash free-throw while the ball was still in the air. The ball spun out and they took the point away.
I guess if you’re going to add points prematurely a Nash free-throw is a good bet.
I agree on Bryant. You can’t give yourself your own nickname.
Shaq gave himself a bunch of nicknames, too. But none of them really stuck. Except for “Diesel” and “Shaq-Fu”
Don’t forget about Kazaam.
Black Mamba is easily the WORST nickname EVER!
How did Rasheed Wallace get thrown out last year? He was retired……
Unless you mean earlier this season, but in 2012.
where is the getty image with Tas? FIND IT IMMEDIATELY
It was posted in the comments of yesterdays show I believe
he’s smelling ass-ass-ass-ass-ass-ass in the pic

getting a nba jersey. lillard or kyrie? like the blazers more…but kyrie is awesome
There should be a “Primo Pawsta and Sawce” drop in a Bargnani voice
The worst nickname is the nickname that the Raptors broadcasters gave to James Johnson last yr.; The Human Swiss Army Knife…

Dwight should learn the underhand freethrow technique
Harlem shake, I don’t get it.
Shaq was also known as the Diesel
