Steve Nash was the WORST signing for the Lakers

[Lakers_Kobe_Fan]

atleast Payton tried to play defense and was on cheap...nash @9mil/3yrs is horrible signing

I would have prefer to have J Lin/Dragic or even sessions...

He would've had more assists if Kobe didn't ball hog.

He clearly doesn't fit in the Kobe System.
Actually no one fits in that system except Kobe.

[RoundMoundOfReb]

I seriously don't understand how this laker team is WORSE than last year. You would think Howard > Bynum and Nash > Blake. Pluse Kobe looks better this year.

This is the real question, and the real answer is: Dantoni.

[TheAnchorman]

Well they signed Nash knowing about his liability on defense. They were probably hoping that Dwight (or Bynum if Nash was signed before Dwight dont remember too well) would anchor their defense and make up for those guards blowing by Nash.

What they didn't expect was Dwight failing hard this year, as well as the rest of the Laker's defense.

[boozehound]

you do realize there was no way you could get lin or dragic?

you do realize there was no way you could get lin or dragic?Have you read this guys posts? He doesn't care about facts.

[wagexslave]

Suns will be enjoying both Dragic(who you guys had no chance of getting anyways because you guys needed a trade exception in order to even get Nash) AND your lottery picks. Thanks.

Oh, and I'm pretty sure I warned you Lakers fans about Nash and his turnovers. Dude just gets out of control, especially late in games. He's NOWHERE NEAR the same player he was in his prime. Sure, he'll still make a lot of amazing plays that make your jaw drop and give you a flashback of his former greatness. But then the very next play he'll get all sloppy and out of control.

He has a habit of constantly trying to drive through defenders into no-man's land down by the baseline of the court under the basket with nowhere to go but out-of-bounds, so he's tries to throw the ball around his defender before stepping out and it goes right into another defender's hands. He never used to do stupid crap like that when he was younger but now he does it constantly. Age has definitely taken a toll on him.

Spoken like a guy who truly knows Nash :applause: , thats exactly his state.

Clippers fans should listen to LAL fans when we say Odom and Barnes will be your undoing.

Yeah, last year that's how he was for the Suns. It was when he finally started to look "old" out on the court. It always got worse and worse the more minutes he played. Whenever he was fresh, like in the 1st quarter and beginning of the 2nd quarter of a game, he would look great. That's when a lot of his highlight plays would happen. But from halfway through the 2nd quarter through the 3rd quarter he would look ok. But in the 4th quarter he just struggled, especially late in the 4th... he just would look tired and sloppy.

BS NYK would have been more then happy to get a tpe + 1st rounder... We paid 2 for nash

The same way we got nash... S&T lin for tpe/1st

Heck nyk would have been happy with a 2nd rounder.

except lin would a horrible fit with kobe. lin is one of the worst three pt shooters as a PG. the lakers would have the worst shooting team of alltime.

Its not like nash is lighting it up...

Where lin would be helpful is driving to the whole & kicking it out or letting the defense collapse and feed howard...

I m sure he would have hit the occasional 3ptr

Have u seen fcuking nash drive into the teeth of defense? I havent either this year

[DuMa]

First Gasol, then Dwight, then D'antoni, and now Nash is the scapegoat :facepalm.

****ing laker fans

[9512]

Nash has been coasting on defense for years if not his entire career. Him becoming even older just makes it worst.

Meanwhile GP's always been a defensive monster (and the only PG ever to win DPOTY)

Who's he be kicking it out to? MWP? Kobe? :roll:
Lakers have no penetrators OR shooters. Jodie Meeks and Steve Nash are their only real guards that can hit the 3. None of their guards can really penetrate aside from the occasional Nash or Kobe drive but it totally kills their energy. There isn't a single PG in the league that takes this team over the top. This roster has a myriad of problems.

[Chrono90]

It is mainly the system. It's not about the Lakers offense. It has always been about defense. Only Dwight, World Peace and Kobe (when he wants to) play defense. Mike D puts two guards in the game between Nash/Meeks/Blake pretty often and it is horrible. On offense it stretches the floor but on defense they are horrendous. You have Meeks or Nash guarding guards like Jamal Crawford, James harden, etc. Even mike James was killing them the other night. Lakers got to get a better roster for defense.

[ralph_i_el]

why would you want Nash on a team that should be playing slow post-oriented basketball? It just doesn't fit! They don't have shooters or the personnel to play up-tempo

[livingby3's]

Rmb when Nash was referred to as the saviour to the lakers horrid start when most were saying that his age and D is going to be a problem. Imo u probably want to have a young quick guard playing behind Nash, ready to step in to help on D, and learn from Nash who happens to be one of the greatest point to play the game. At this point Nash can still deliver in limited minutes, but he would better off be the mentor to your young point.

[Nero Tulip]

He had a horrible game, there's no denying it. But the team just isn't that good. Every single one of their star players is (or was, at least) overrated.

did they really think he has 3 years in him ?:lol

[Budadiiii]

I'd take that boy Steve Nash over almost anybody. He has high IQ, high basketball IQ, positive attitude, poise, skill etc etc ..... This guy really is special and I'm gonna miss the hell out of him when he's gone.

The problem is Kobe.

Dwight sucks..cause people can't play with kobe.
Nash sucks...he doesn't even RUN THE OFFENSE when he's the best at it. How is Nash averaging a career low in assists?

Kobe is trying to run the offense..but he sucks.

The only reason KOBE won 2 champsionships is because he got CARRIED by TWO of the best AND MOST UNDERRATED bigmen in Gasol and bynum.

It's sad how Kobe gets all the credit when basically GASOL was more important than kobe in both laker championships

You give Bynum way too much credit dude. Seriously

Literally all your posts range from butthurt to severe asshurt.

[KOBE143]

I feel bad for Kobe trying to guard two opponents at a time just to hide Nash horrible defense.. People should at least consider Kobe in DPOY voting and should give that award to him this year in honor for his yearly consistency in defense.. I know he's not the best perimeter defender right now but dude is anchoring the Lakers defense by himself with a little help from Dwight.. Among the superstars today, Kobe has the most burden in his back.. You dont expect a 34 years old, 17 years in the league to carry all his team burden.. If only we have a winning record, Kobe deserve to win the MVP more than anyone in the league.. :(

[PP34Deuce]

The more I see Dwight, The more I think he was better off doing a Derrick Rose. I looked at 2011 Dwight and 2012 Dwight and the one thing i noticed is explosion in defensive stance. He used to be able to shadow athletic slashers in the lane and alter their shot or intimidate them. No one is intimidated.

He's stiff. He's also not as strong as he was before. I felt like if LA were to beat Denver I would safely predict theyd be in the playoffs. they looked bad against Denver and they are better off shutting it down in the next few weeks.

[SacJB Shady]

It's not the Lakers fault that they signed Nash. They couldn't sign Paul, because Stern blocked it. Imagine.... CP3, Kobe, and Dwight all playing together.

[BlueandGold]

I seriously don't understand how this laker team is WORSE than last year. You would think Howard > Bynum and Nash > Blake. Pluse Kobe looks better this year.
Just shows you how little the average fan on here knows basketball and how complicated the game of basketball can people. lol @ all these people thinking basketball is as cut and dry as acquiring good players like a fantasy basketball team. :facepalm

[Nashty]

Yes, he had too much turnovers(season high btw), but he scored 16 points on 6-8 shooting. He's playing exactly how Lakers expected him to play, he doesn't run the offense like in Phoenix, he's spotting up more(beacuse Kobe needs the ball in his hands to be effective, seriously, guy will make a fadeaway over two players, but will miss an open three) and he's playing very good as a spot up shooter, and he can score and pass off the pick and roll if he's given the chance to run the pick and roll. He's been defensive liability for years now, did you except that to change now when he's 39 years old?

Everybody has a bad game, but Nash is averaging 13 points, 8 assists per 36 minutes as being the second ball handler, and he is having one more 50-40-90 season, I don't know what do you want more from a 39 year old guy who is coming off from a knee injury.

[glidedrxlr22]

You'll never get lakers_kobe_fan to blame kobe for anything. It's always someone else's fault.

[Whoah10115]

Everyone has been hurt, with Dwight being lame, the chemistry has been off.


This is not D'Antoni's fault, but he is not doing nearly enough to make it better. Why have Steve Nash if he can't run the team? You have to let him push the ball. You don't have to be running, but he has to push the ball and people have to move. Kobe has got to consistently run the floor ON DEFENSE. Howard has to keep getting better.


If you're going to take the ball out of Nash's hand...then why is he on your team?

Steve Nash was a Godsend, c'mon man. You knew what you were getting, a guy not capable of defending the quick PG's of today, and the Lakers have had that same problem since Lindsay Hunter left the team like a decade and a half ago

U would rather Steve Blake the starter, or Chris Duhon or Morris?

[crisoner]

http://i.imgur.com/V26Ml.gif

BAHAHAHAHAHAAHA

[Bandito]

Nash was not the answer for this team, I knew that from before they sign him but let's not pretend he is playing like a scrub. He's probably the best player in the perimeter after Kobe in this team. Without him this team would be even worse. At least you got a guy that can shoot compared to a guy that can't shoot or defend.

[longtime lurker]

Lakers knew what they were getting with Nash. Blame the management for doing absolutely nothing to fix the defensive sieve that's the Lakers perimeter defense or getting an adequate back up for him.

[Godzuki]

i think he's awful against the good pressing defense teams. he's just so marginalized sometimes its like he can't even bring the ball up the floor against 1 man pressure at times. he generally plays decently to good against most of the average and low end teams where he isn't under so much pressure D and can make himself look good.

either way i agree. he's a liability at the PG position even with all of the good he does against mostly mediocre to bad teams. he has to be amazing offensively to make up for his liabilities and he isn't with enough regularity.

[HorryIsMyMVP]

Ha one game in DENVER. Where they never had a chance and all the sudden its all nashs fault. The same guy who missed 24 games this year and was suppose to save the Lakers. I thought they have been winning lately?

[FKAri]

It's not the Lakers fault that they signed Nash. They couldn't sign Paul, because Stern blocked it. Imagine.... CP3, Kobe, and Dwight all playing together.

They become a better team...still not better than the Thunder..not by a long shot. Try to imagine CP3 and Kobe attempting to share the ball. The most ball dominant PG and SG on the same team, in the same lineup? lmao

[Nike D'Antoni]

....And he is now the worst hire in the history of the Brooklyn Nets.

[wagexslave]
