[IGOTGAME]

Ramon Sessions is about to cash in...if he plays to his capabilities with this talented squad he is gonna put up numbers.

[jb220]

Anyone think that Ramon can average 20/10/7 now that he's starting?

[PJR]

Lol mike brown talkin out of his..."Steve Blake is my guy"

[talkingconch]

after that performance against dallas, he better be

[InspiredLebowski]

Anyone think that Ramon can average 20/10/7 now that he's starting?More like 30/14/12

[jb220]

More like 30/14/12
Ha...

Come on dude be serious.

[RazorBaLade]

i expect to see 3 open kobe jumpers in the first half


pretty sure ive never seen that many completely open kobe jumpers in the last few years

[Eric Cartman]

Ha...

Come on dude be serious.

15 points a game. Ain't even tripping.

you should try watching more games

[LoneyROY7]

It's laughable it took this long...not starting arguably the best PG in the league should be a suspendable offense.

[jb220]

Maybe a double dub is too extreme but at least 22/8/5, he's shown that he has what it takes to be an all time great.

[bdreason]

Who is going to score in the 2nd unit? :confusedshrug:

[talkingconch]

watch even more games

[PP34Deuce]

LOL pump your brakes...

but, Sessions is EASILY a 15 4 and 7 assist player.

Re: Cashing in...

Lets say Sessions plays great for the rest of this season; The Lakers are in no position to pay him decent money this summer, given their recent reluctance to go further into luxury tax...

[DukeDelonte13]

hope he does well. Loved ramon. Sad to see him go but it was for the best.

You're assuming he opts out

[IGOTGAME]

Who is going to score in the 2nd unit? :confusedshrug:

you don't have to play to units like hockey shifts. You can work it so Sessions or Kobe is always on the floor with either Bynum or Pau. Plus in the playoffs, the rotations shorten and Sessions is gonna have to play a lot with Kobe. Better get used to it now.


Re: Cashing in...

Buss and Kup all say they want to keep him for the long term. I'm assuming that there is a good chance that they will resign him. Buss has always been willing to spend the money when he thinks it will lead to something positive.


You're assuming he opts out

he has absolutely no reason not to opt out. Someone will pay him at least 4.6 million.

[jb220]

Lakers will not let Baby Sesh go anywhere...

[glidedrxlr22]

The curse will relegate Sessions to the bench after tonight's game.

[Eric Cartman]

He should take a page out of the Dwight Howard book & opt in. :bowdown:

[CLE[216]]

this better not be a serious post.:lol

[sagr32]

I predict he gets his first double-double as a laker tonight.:lebron:

[BlazersDozen]

I love how players who go to the Lakers become 2x better than what they are 22/8 lol I hope you're joking because Kobe, Gasol & Bynum will get more shots than Sessions will.

[LoneyROY7]

Kobe will get 20 shots.
Bynum/Gasol will get 15.
And Sessions will get somewhere between 10-20.

I don't think 22/8 is out of the question, dude has one of the best offensive games in the league and has great vision.

[Bosnian Sajo]

Holy ****ing shocker

Bynum/Gasol will get 15.

:biggums:

[Godzuki]

i was sort of hoping Mike Brown would be stubborn about it then hated more, and a lot more drama would ensue. oh well, watching Ramon run that offense is entertaining also :pimp:

22 and 8? ROFL.

25 and 12 is his floor.

[jb220]

Gotta love the Sessions hate already

[LA_Showtime]

At this point I'm just going to assume Brown's talking to purposely undermine himself.

[CLE[216]]

Damn, I just watched a couple replays that changed my mind. Sessions might just be the GOAT PG for the Lakers. Kobe should have 7 rings by the end of his career. Of course, LeBron still won't have one.:lol

[Eric Cartman]

Holy ****ing shocker

[All Net]

Good stuff

[KOBEtherealKing]

Sessions isn't getting 20 shots. More like 8-12. Sessions could put up 10-20 points with 7-9 assists. But Sessions needs to work on getting more steals.

[chazzy]

Bball breakdown of the Mavs game http://youtu.be/9q3D2XM44C4

[BlackVVaves]

Still think he should be a bench player playing starting minutes, he really invigorates the bench.

But, good for him.

[Disaprine]

is about damn time they put him in the front lines. :applause:

[gasolina]

1. Laker fans overrate everyone who comes in for a signing / trade
2. Kobe fans underrate everyone else not named Kobe when the Lakers are struggling

Typical day in ISH :D

[DuMa]

why does it matter, kobe is gonan take the ball out his hands

[DirtySanchez]

10 points and 7 assist a night would work fine.

Keep the expectations low yall!!!

[KBryant24]

It's about time. I'm feeling a 15-10-5 night on 50% shooting

[RazorBaLade]

why does it matter, kobe is gonan take the ball out his hands

thats not what happened the last few games you ******

[LA_Showtime]

This mother ****er is going to get paid. Watch him sign with Miami, Dallas, or some other rival this summer. Shit, if Dallas doesn't get Williams I could actually see that happening.

[G-Funk]

15/7/3 is what I'm hoping 4

[TonyD]

15/7/3 is what I'm hoping 4

Finally someone with some sense.

[D-Rose]

I actually prefer him off the bench. Your Kobes, Gasols, Bynums of the world need the ball to be effective and Sessions does too. He's better for the 2nd unit because he creates for them, and they can't do that at all compared to the first unit.

The Lakers usually get out to those leads, but lose them cause of the bench, why not keep him on the bench and give it some life? He can still play starter minutes and close the game with the starters.

[swi7ch]

first time i'm going to see sessions play. should my expectations be high ala Linsaniy? :confusedshrug:

[game3524]

You obviously didn't watch the last game.

[Crown&Coke]

he averaged around 17 and 11 in 4 starts with Cleveland with Kyrie out

With LA I'm assuming he gets around 15/8/4

most important thing, he keeps the offense moving. Lakers tend to stop the ball a lot. Either Kobe dribbling within a 3x3 feet box and shooting a jumper, or Drew pounding down low, while everyone else just watches.

[305Baller]

hat was fast

[Godzuki]

first time i'm going to see sessions play. should my expectations be high ala Linsaniy? :confusedshrug:


Yeah he's very impressive with his handles and penetration setting everyone up. has played very smart bball. opposite of Kobe IQ, but he's made Kobe play smarter too, altho part of that should go to all of the criticism Kobe was taking for shooting so much. who knows tho, now with everyones expectations so high he'll probably have a bad game.

the first half the other day he looked like the best PG in the league...

[LakersFan626]

after that performance against dallas, he better be

Who will create offense off the bench then? It's not a bad thing for Sessions to be the 6th man like Odom was. If that performance demands a starting role, then guys like Harden, Terry, Mayo, and JR Smith would be starting over the better defenders they're backing up. Not saying Blake's a good defender but Sessions off the bench gave the team some balance (I admit to being wrong about how much he'd improve the PG production) and Kobe can already create offense in the starting lineup.

[KOBEtherealKing]

Do you ever get tired of posting really dumb things?

Why doesn't Kobe come off the bench?

He doesn't use Gasol/Bynum much, and not nearly as much as Session's would, and he's a one man offense. Why doesn't it make more sense to bring Kobe off the bench? or does starter matter only for Kobe, and not Sessions? :confusedshrug:

he has more ast to gasol and bynum than anyone else on the team

[LA_Showtime]

he has more ast to gasol and bynum than anyone else on the team

That's only because his usage rate is like 50%.

[RazorBaLade]

That's only because his usage rate is like 50%.

i have no idea what usage rate is

something to do with constantly having the ball? yeah well the point is he does use gasol and bynum a lot. why does it matter if he has the ball and still chooses to give it to them a certain % of the time? No way around it... not enough, sure, but you cant say he doesnt give it to them. They get wayyyyy less shots when hes off the floor

Session's would pass to Bynum/Gasol WAY more than Kobe ever would...

and usage rate = dominating the ball

[LA_Showtime]

Go Lakers!

derr but this is what i was replying to

"He doesn't use Gasol/Bynum much"

[KobeRules24]

sessions will allow kobe to be a true SG for the first time in a long long time. this is great for the lakers dude

[SpecialQue]

My pants were dry before seeing this thread.

That's no longer the case.

[Eat Like A Bosh]

Seriously, even girls know that Sessions is better than Fish. And you just realized that, Mike Brown?

[KBryant24]

It's about time. I'm feeling a 15-10-5 night on 50% shooting
I was close
20-11-6 on 60%

[SpecialQue]

I was close
20-11-6 on 60%

:lebron:

[RazorBaLade]

boom.. kobe lets sessions handle the ball all game long and during the final minutes even stands to the side in a lebron esque performance while sessions rapes and gives it to gasol/mwp

"Kobe shoots to much" "Kobe doesn't shoot enough"

[PickernRoller]

I called it. :pimp:
Future repped :pimp:

[LoneyROY7]

Who will now challenge Ramon for the NBA's PG supremacy? Rose? Paul? D-Will?

Is there any PG in the league who can even attempt to match Ramon's unquestionable dominance and unparalleled versatility at the position?

There are countless questions, but only so many answers.

[longtime lurker]

It only took Mike Brown 3 games to realize that Steve Blake sucks balls? :facepalm
