Statement 1:

<< "I suffer, greatly, when I play poorly," said Nash, an All-Star the past two seasons. "I feel bad about myself. It's my weakness. I should maybe be stronger and not allow it to pain me so much. At the same time, maybe that's an insecurity mechanism for success." >>

Statement 2:

<< "I'm just going to stay confident and not let this get me down," said Nash, who shot just 2-of-11 from the field during Dallas' 103-99 loss to Portland at American Airlines Center.

"It's what I worked hard all summer for, to be in this situation. For it to be going so poorly at this point isn't enough to make me quit." >>

So what happened to his "suffering-as-insecurity-mechanism-for-success" theory? From 'suffering' to 'not-let-this-get-me-down'. What an unstable puss.
