This Lakers team will give up a lot more points and also score a lot more points..Where does this leave the Lakeshow? Probably still the third best team in the West..Much more exciting team to watch with the ball movement you get with Nash though..

I expect Kobe to play more unselfish basketball. They didn't get Nash so he can continue iso's all season. He wouldn't be dumb enough to not utilize the strength of a point guard like Nash, especially at this stage of his career and with Miami still stacked w/ the Big 3. I see him adjusting to Nash and using him to his advantage.
If LA can address their bench and find their new identity w/ Nash running the offense in Browns system i think they are capable of WCF if not the NBA Finals. But they have a lot of work to do.

#3 Posted: 7/6/2012 12:04:56 AM Sure Nash isn't known for defense, but then again with Bynum protecting the paint, that'll make up for his deficiencies. And in crunch time, you know Nash is likely playing the other team's off player switching with Metta.
Offense with Nash is going to be sweet. If he make relatively unknown players in PHO look that good, wait till what he does with the current Lakers. I expect a lot of career high numbers from some of these guys.
Should be an interesting upcoming season for the Lakers. |

All true.
Upgrading the point from Sessions to Nash is like trading in a Dodge Dart for a Bently. |

Harden has a beard to show people he's a man, when deep inside he's just a 12 y/o girl who just wants to play with his barbies. fool didn't even try to score in the Finals.
