EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- After having San Antonio end his season several times before as a member of the Phoenix Suns, Steve Nash doesn't plan to go out without a fight when the Los Angeles Lakers face the Spurs in the first round of the playoffs this time around.
"Mentally, I'm champing at the bit and physically, I'm getting there," Nash said Friday after participating in a full practice for the first time since March, as he's missed the Lakers' past eight games with a right hip and hamstring injury. "So, I'm very optimistic that I'll be able to play on Sunday, and I just don't want to overpromise and get ahead of myself. The last three weeks now, I wake up every morning thinking, 'Today's the day,' and then I want to hang myself after practice. So, I don't want to overpromise at this point, but I'm very optimistic."
