Sessions - 20% FG last game
It wouldn't make difference, the team gets to the line at will already. Sessions or Nash or Blake, none of them will make a difference on the Lakers and they aren't the problem. All 3 can't play a lick of D.
Sessions: 17 points on 10 shots (nice true efficiency despite his poor shooting night), 9 dimes, and 3 boards.
Nash: Watching Kobe stat pad from the bench.

By getting rid of Sessions, you also got rid of a penetration threat in the half-court. Lakers are painfully one dimensional and slow on offense.
That made no difference last year outside of a few good games Sessions had. Will Sessions stop the turnovers? The poor transition D? The poor parameter defense? These reasons are why the Lakers are messing up, not the PG spot. Look at the points from fastbreaks, that was our weakness with Sessions too. It's not like he's going to help the lack of ball movement that has happened lately since the Blazer game.
All that is asking too much of a PG. But he is certainly better than any PG the Lakers currently have, Nash included.
If the Lakers knew how to draft and actually develop young players, they might have some athletes that could help out with the poor transition and perimeter defense. But it's been proven, time and time again, that Mitch goes full re when he is tasked to make roster decisions that can't just be solved by writing a big check.
Not asking anything from the PG, it's not a huge impact to the Lakers team. I never figured Nash would be more than one of the 3pt shooters and somebody to get the ball to the bigs. Sessions is better than Blake for sure, I dunno what's up with Nash and it's too early for me to give a verdict on that - I'm always a wait and see person. Although he's healthy and Nash is not right now, so you got that right for now.
Athleticism isn't a strength on the Lakers, but they aren't crippling slow, our starters play too much which is a sign of bad rotation by the coaching staff. Our bench isn't great, but two at a time can be implanted to keep the players from playing too much. From what I've seen, they have been lazy on transition more than unable to keep up with it.
Also, Mitch has done fine getting Dwight for just Bynum. Where is Bynum now? How does a Gasol/Hill frontcourt sound to you? I hope you don't think that's a lateral move because Howard is healthy and has been doing a lot, almost 70% from the field and over 20ppg. He just can't carry the team. Now was getting Nash a bad move? It was a gamble, but no serious basketball fan expected Nash to do much besides get the ball into the hands of our front court.
It's important if your point guard can't defend. That's why Fisher is missed.
Fisher's D is underrated. Sure Parker was able to school him on occasions. But both Sessions and Nash are clearly worse on defense.
Fisher's D was doing dirty work, but he wasn't a sound defensive player overall. He got blown away by fast PGs like everybody like Blake would. Blake really is kinda underrated on D, some of you might laugh but he has 2 steals per game and has forced a fair number of bad shots. Of course, though, faster PGs can blow past him fairly consistently and he's slow on transition. Don't write Blake off as an absence of defense, though, he's doing more than you would have expected him to.
Fisher is better than Blake on D because of hustle and strength. Blake has arguably faster hands, and is surprisingly low on TOs.
Sessions: Averaging 17ppg, 4.4apg, 3.6rpg on the season. Responsible for the game winner last night.
Nash: Waiting in the wings to return and make the Lakers' defense even worse than it already is.
mid going evil on em Lakers.
Comparing Nash and Sessions is like comparing Kobe and Jimbo, one is an elite veteran putting up MVP numbers the other is done and is a frenchman's sidekick.
This thread is pointless, especially according to spurfan logic that "everybody can shine in a scrub team."
Pau is from Spain, not France
I know 14 PPG on 43% shooting is a distant dream to DeMonkeyball Jordan but Pau is underperforming, he can do better than that tbh.Pau is from Spain, not France
You're not making any sense, not with the type of numbers Kobe's putting up.
Now go back to your daily routine of juggling thunderfan's balls in your mouth and writing angry ref related emails to the NBA like a whiny little .
Nash IS an elite veteran putting up MVP numbers? I thought he is rehabbing and playing recreational soccer on the side.
He's certainly capable of making a bigger impact on offense, that's for sure. But like i said the comparisons are pointless when Nash is injured and played only two regular season games running the princeton offense. Let's see what he does with D'Antoni at the helm.
Damn someone is a little obsessed with everything lakers
Between Mid and Nono (Clipper Nation) it's hard to pick who's the more obsessed.
ings/Midnight Butthurt is a sad individual. He claims to be a spurfan but he has (at least) 2 accounts that he uses to make nothing but Lakers related posts 24/7

Sad but funny, indeed.
Any guess as to who Clipper Nation is? I'm more than sure that's El Nono. From the frequent visits to the political forum and similar posting style, the only thing different is the name of the team on the user profile.
