I came here to say Sessions is a legit top 12 pg in the league. And the lakers are back, they can even withstand Kobe chucking.

Ramon is a great player and he could be top 12 (I haven't sat down and thought about it) but ANY decent PG would be doing this with the talent that we/he have. All his shots are wide open lol

His immediate success is a huge indictment on Fisher and the front office for not forcing Phil to get a real PG earlier

[NomarTyme]

Is it the offseason yet?

Your team is already there. :/

Also I love that Session attack the rim with ferocity, but he needs to take a chill pill. Dude goes kamikaze when he attacks the rim.

[Heavy]

The Clippers lost to the Hornets.

Told yall they'd do nothing this year. Right about LAL, right about LAC, right about Kobe, right about Bynum, right about the blazers, right about the nuggets. Only thing I was wrong about was Maggette but he's been picking it up lately, had a string of 20+ games.

[Tom Penny]

I hope the Clippers continue to fall off go in the lottery and the the 11th pick. Please happen.

[Dmncnby2k9]

Crazy how close West is. Jazz only half game from 4th place.

[Canuck76]

And you guys told me I was having a meltdown http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news;_yl...t_rubio_032212 Dude is so gone. And rightfully so.

Nah he'll still be there. Pek, Williams, Rubio. There's good pieces there. He'll get noticed if they go deep in the playoffs, which if not this year then next year they will for sure.

I think most unbiased lakers fans can see how awful fisher really was.
Hitting a few late game shots somehow make him clutch and vital to the team.

thank you based Lin

Yo Adam, we in there!

For one lousy game.

Stupid VDN.

[Black Mamba]

Fisher played 36 minutes and had 5 points on 2/11 shooting with like 1 assist.

Sessions played 36 minutes and had 21 points on 6/10 shooting with 10 assists.

dat upgrade.

Also, Ramon was the first Laker PG to go 20-10 since Chutky Atkins in 2005. Feels good, man.

[h3ro]

Subtle.

Now Blake is taking Fisher place. Dude is stinking up the joint.

[Cloudy]

BTW I correctly predicted Ramon's success

What are your expectations for Ramon Sessions as a Laker? Stats, impact, star-status etc. Let's have it all in a thread we can easily come back to before he becomes an perennial Allstar playing in a backcourt with Kobe and folks say they knew it all along (Gasol effect lol) I feel he will be in the Allstar game next year if the Lakers have a top seed. People are going to see how much of a bum Fisher was for playing that poorly starting with Kobe, Bynum and Pau

[Nelo Ice]

Finally NBA Age is back!

[Ninja Scooter]

Sessions is basically giving us a lot of what I thought Lowry could give us in all the Rocket trades a lot of fans (including me) were clamouring for, only without having to give up Pau. Props to Mitch for holding out and not panicking.

Did you call Rubio getting shot by Kobe

I thought the only way we could get a good PG was giving up Pau but yeah I'm surprised at how well Sessions has played.

[Knux-Future]

Dead coach bounce is over and the thread is unlocked...great.

I thought this was where threads went to die.


Also, nobody is trying to see the Bulls right now. Too bad I can't watch the dismantling tonight :(.

I don't think he brings the defense Lowry has but Ramon+Pau > Lowry or even CP3 without Pau

yeah, seems like it.

I still think he should be coming off the bench, though. Yesterday the bench struggled without him out there. They need his scoring and quickness to get easy hoops.

I don't see why Blake doesn't play play the first 7 minutes of each half and then Ramon the rest of the half.

It was great to see Kobe allow Ramon to work in the clutch and even ramon wave Kobe off and create a play for Pau. If this continues, Kobe will get rested for the playoff run.

[CoffeeJanitor]

You've got to understand how incompetent out owner is. He blocked Love getting a five year deal, probably because he had memories of giving KG a 120 million deal, and then he blocked a trade that the coaching staff wanted because he would have had to buy out Fisher. He also runs the team like a family run company (figuratively and literally--he has family working in important positions). He's big on loyalty, so he tends to keep the same scouts and staffers even though its clear they do a horrible job.

BTW, he also wouldn't take your boy Kevin Pritchard in as GM because he would have had to replace a lot of the staff, as Pritcher didn't think the org. was up to snuff. I repeat: Wolves could have had Pritcher instead of Kahn while drafting for the past few years.

In short, I wish I was born in LA, where smart GMs are born.

[CoffeeJanitor]

On Sessions, I think it just seems like he's amazing because you're going from a horrible PG to a good backup PG.

[Rodeo Clown]

Where do we go now
Where do we go

I think the Lakers would be better if Pau went to the bench. We almost have too much firepower in the starting lineup right now.

Ramon/Kobe/Artest/McBob/Bynum
Blake/Goudelock/Barnes/Murphy/Pau

You'd bring Barnes and Pau in to finish the first with the starters in that lineup.

I also think it's insane that Hill and Goudelock are getting no minutes. It's been shown all year that Pau/Murphy CANNOT guard scoring 4s yet we're not seeing what Hill can do? And why take our best bench scorer all year out of the rotation?

FREE AT LAST, FREE AT LAST. THANK BASED SESSIONS ALMIGHTY, WE ARE FREE AT LAST!

So glad to be out of Jeremy Lin/Knicks age purgatory.

Knicks-age will always be the foil that the NBA thread deserves.

[TheKaeptain]

Yes!

Good to see you're still alive. How did you spend your exile?

I managed to get through it by finally starting MGS3 so it wasn't all bad.

[rage1973]

Same shit Knicks fans went through without all the peripheral hype that came with Lin.

[The Frankman]

Also I say darkside31337 should be given a tag of shame for his turncoat actions against NBA-GAF.

Same shit Knicks fans went through without all the peripheral hype that came with Lin.

Except any Knicks fan said he could be a solid NBA PG. Don't confuse the Knicks fans with the LLLLin fans. Quite frankly, no one knows what he could be since this is in effect his rookie year.

What did darkside do?

[Cloudy]

I don't think it's quite the same. No one expected it from Lin. Anyone who has watched Sessions start in the past expected this.

Plus Sessions does not turn the ball over :p

Being in community is a good thing, it keeps the riffraff out. This should have been done a long time ago. They really should just make another forum for sports.

this is so stupid. The Pau-Bynum lineup has been one of the most potent lineups on both sides for 3 seasons now. All the data shows it.

And since both play 35+ a game, this would mean they play with the bench unit more. But we want the bench to run, not be slower. You move Ramon back to the bench.

I agree on glock. I don't get that.

Sessions glock and Barnes combo seemed effective getting some breaks going.
