Steve Blake may just be one of the disciples and not The Savior, but I believe he can put this team on his back and carry them until they get Fischer back or something.
The Savior: In his first game of the season, he put up a solid 11 points on 8 shots, got to the line 4 times, and dished out 4 dimes in 21 minutes of action. Also hit a big go ahead 3 late in the 4th. Reasonable 5 mil per year salary.
Nash: Has played 50 minutes thus far this season, scoring 9 points on 12 shots, 8 assists, with no freethrow attempts. Hasn't done much besides stand around and be Canadian. Now injured. Bloated 9 million per year salary for 3 years.
I'm glad you "did it," Mitch.

To be fair, Ramon Sessions thrives on ty teams where he can stat pad, tbh..
He can't really stat pad on Charlotte, though. He's the backup PG and is on team filled with chuckers, so there won't be too many shot attempts coming his way. He let the game come to him tonight and didn't really force the issue.
Mad you were wrong about Nash?
"He's gonna average 10 assists a game!"
So, when are we all going to pay for our "baskeball reasons?"
I'm waiting.
Dude STFU. Every other post yo obsessed ass makes is bout your favorite team: The Lakers.
I take that as a no, then.
We are not paying for our "basketball reasons."
Oh, looking forward to the Nash vs. CP3 matchup tonight?
- you got problems mid. We are about to be 3 games into the season. Shouldn't you save threads like dis after we play at least 20 games? You are so premature with your enthusiasm.
Not really. Expect this to be the norm with Nash throughout the season. Suns fans warned you it you happen. Analysts without Laker up their ass warned you it would happen. And other fanbases warned you it would happen. Granted, Nash is a crafty enough player that I'm sure he'll produce some impressive stat lines that'll once again have you swimming in your (as you did all in' Summer long), but anybody who knows even the slightest thing about basketball realizes Nash isn't a very good fit for this team.
Why not? PNR is available to them all game every game. But it's predictable and doesn't work in the playoffs. I read somewhere that the Lakers are running it a league low 6% of the time.
For as much as you guys talk about the Princeton, Kobe, Howard and Pau are thriving in it. I think this is by design. We expect these three to carry us offensively. When we start running PNR, Nash will resurface as well as get the scrubs better involved.
Kobe, Pau, Howard, and a trimmed down Artest all can run. Sure, fun and gun would win games on pure talent alone (see how the Lakers were like 21-3 to start the 2004 season just like that), but it would be fool's gold. Once they get the Princeton down, to make us less even less predictable and harder to prepare for, then you will see more PNR - especially during crucial times (i.e. end of quarters/games).
Howard is still not 100%. They have played 4 total games together with our big 4 (2 in preseason). This is hardly a finished Laker product. Jackasses like you are playing checkers with your premie celebration threads like this. The Lakers are playing chess. It's a marathon, not a sprint.
the princeton offense only runs well on teams where 85% of the roster is white and their iqs are over 140...none of which the lakers have
old 24 chucks it too much
older stevie can't dribble all over the court anymore
broke back howard can't pass
metta world shizz too stoopid to play in that offense
The better comparison is Nash or Blake.![]()
You knob slobbed Brown's defensive first philosophy and 4-down offense last year to the point where you predicting the Lakers would wind up looking like the Robinson/Duncan Spurs once "they figured it out." We told you the Lakers had other issues, namely lack of depth, perimeter defense, and point guard speed (always a feature of past champion Spurs' teams), but you were still convinced all was well. We were all playing checkers and the Lakers were playing chess.
And those issues still remain. Princeton offense or not. In the modern NBA, you need depth and athleticism more than ever before.
And if the Lakers can still run, how come they can't stop anybody from breaking on their ass?
Reality check. Nash isn't a good fit for the Lakers. They need a defensive first type point guard.
pnr doesn't work in the playoffs now? sounds like some lakers fans are as stupid as monsieur les pommes de terre de la tete.
How many rings does Nash have? Numbnuts.
That's not what was said dip . The Suns didn't not win because the pnr wasn't effective. It was our team that took them out on our way to the championship. We used pnr sets constantly and got 4 championships and beat the Suns because we were able to outscore them using the sets. Larry Brown's team used a ton of them with Billups running the sets. Rondo runs them. the list goes on. Thosee are just the champions, there are all sorts of teams that went deep into the playoffs using the pnr as their staple.
You have to play defense and lo and behold pnr sets do not preclude that. The suns did not play defense despite scoring a ton of points and that is what did them in.
Oh how did you enjoy the game this evening btw?
John Schuhmann @johnschuhmann Lakers say Steve Nash has a "small non-displaced fracture in the head of his fibula." Out a minimum of 1 week & then re-examined.
