We need the bench to play decent for us to have a chance .. Gasol + Sessions on the 2nd unit to counteract Harden scoring and they also like to leave KD with their 2nd unit from time to time.. it's just the matter of adjustments throughout the game.. we need Coach Kobe for this

Him & Blake is still better than Fish & Blake, though. Perfect by no means, but baby steps.
All of this is nonsense (the whole Sessions needs to go debate)... Sessions has disappointed the past few weeks, yes... Right when he got a shoulder injury..
Before then he was putting up 13, 5 & 7...
He's a young PG. Who has been passed over by every team from the draft where he was picked 56th.. To the Bucks drafting Jennings and moving him back in the depth chart.. Then to the Wolves where they drafted Flynn. Then traded to the Cavs where the drafted Irving.. When a team picks someone early 1st Round.. Unless they are coming in to observe a legend in his final years, that guy is starting..
His defense is bad. But look at the teams he's been on.. NONE of them were defensive teams. His minutes were severely limited, and never played in any games that mattered until a few weeks ago.. He can learn to play adequate defense....
But on the offensive side, he has the abilities to be a top 10 PG in the league.. And showed those abilities.
There is not and will not be a better answer out there for the Lakers.. DWill is not coming through that door. Aaron Brooks is not better than Sessions... Darius Morris sucks.. And Andrew Goudelock couldn't pass the ball if his life depended on it.
We just have to deal with his deficiencies this year, and have him man up in the offseason and learn what he needs to..
Sessions is a VERY GOOD PG, but inexperienced..

BINGO!!!
That's actually how Thabo has defended Kobe this whole season and it resulted in Kobe averaging 24.3ppg on 25 attempts, 31% shooting. He's the one who can't shoot consistently because he can't get clean looks off the dribble since he ain't blowing by anyone, or get to the basket at this point in his career.

^ Yea, and Afflalo was suppose to lock up Kobe this series like he did in the regular season. Didn't work out that way did it.

Slow down essential........Ramon is in a good situation, but saying he's "very good" is putting way too much on it

So it looks like Perk will be a GTD. Because of a right hip strain we better attack that.

Perk is the only one of our guys who can guard Bynum. I have no problem with Nick and Serge on Pau, but Perkins has to be healthy to check Bynum.

no point in talking this guy down
he was labeling him "sessionsGOD" after a couple games, a few others had him on a pedestal too, theyve been quiet ever since - rarely even mentioning ramons name
other than when hes made that one 3 pointer a game two or three times this series and a drive here or there

March 16 - April 9th (15 games): 13.7 PPG (51.5% FG, 52% 3P), 4.1 RPG, 7.4 APG
Then read this article : http://lakers.ocregister....r-hit-to-shoulder/70994/
April 11th - April 26th (8 games): 10.6 PPG (41.8% FG, 40% 3P), 3.3RPG, 4.8 APG
Series vs. Nuggets: 11.7PPG (38.8% FG, 19% 3P) 3.4RPG 4.0APG
Maybe you pay attention to your team if you are going to call out someone's analysis..
Go ahead and post "he said he was fine, and his shoulder is 100%".. Then look at the stats again... Playing Top 10 PG basketball then gets an injury and then declines.. Pretty big coincidence don't you think..

Perkins needs to channel his memory of the 2010 finals to kill the Lakers' bigs.

I don't care what they say about perk, dude is not gonna be 100%........soon as they start to bang down low he's gonna start to feel pain in that hip again. Our bigs HAVE to know that, and they HAVE to go at him
