The only thing that will change with the return of Nash is that your offense will probably improve. But that's about it.

You say we're legit retarded because we're comparing the Lakers to the Eagles & Red Sox, I think you're legit retarded if you think the Lakers problems will be gone with the return of Nash.

Did I say he would fix all our problems? No. But you know what our two biggest problems are? Transition defense and turnovers. The latter causes the former. Those are the two BIGGEST problems by a FAR margin. You know who would greatly fix BOTH of those problems by simply fixing one? Nash. You know nothing about my team and what handicaps it so don't act like you do; every team has it's problems and some of those problems are hard or impossible to fix and don't get fixed even while winning championships. The 3-peat Lakers and the team that repeated both had problems but you learn to play with them and manage to win with them.

Were the Eagles and Sox plagued by injuries? I dont know about the Sox, but I know that the Eagles werent. They just sucked. And maybe the Lakers will too, but at least wait and find out because we re currently missing two of our four top stars and that makes a HUGE difference. Which is why I called you guys retarded, you seem to ignore that fact completely when assessing the team.

Dang Blake Griffint puts his nuts on players heads on a daily basis.

Yup. And I have the pleasure of watching every Clipper game, in stunning HD, with Ralph Lawler. Oh yeah i can also watch the Lakers but who wants to do that these days?

I'm well aware that turnovers has been a significant problem for you guys. But let's not act Nash hasn't been averaging close to 4 a game for his most recent seasons.

You know what else is hurting you guys? Your shit defense, defending opposing PG's especially. Look at you guys losses, you were torched by PG's. Kyrie Irving, Jameer Nelson, Russell Westbrook, Mo Williams, Damian Lillard and many others. Opposing PG's feast on you guys and you are delusional as fuck if you think Nash will change that. Hell, it might be worse. And the fact that you have probably the worst defensive coach in NBA history and one of the worst coaches in the NBA overall doesnt help.

I'm pretty sure Vince Young started like 5 or 6 games for the Eagles last season due to Michael Vick being hurt. And the Red Sox were also plagued by injuries, but that doesn't people from calling them a disappointment and failure.

The Lakers are a second round exit at best this year.

My man Hibbert is only averaging 10 shots a game...His shooting percentage isn't easy on the eyes, but man, they gotta get that dude more shots..No reason he shouldn't be averaging 15-18 shots a game especially with Granger out

I got to say, I was a little disappointed with Chicago's loss to the Clippers. It was a winnable game, especially near the end. Luol Deng at about 3 minutes left in the 4th quarter got an a pass that left him wide open to drive to the basket. Instead, he backs up and attempts a three. By then the defender arrives and gets in his face and Deng misses the shot. Had Deng taken the easy layup, the score would have become 82-87, which would have made Noah's FT attempts later in the game a game tying attempt, making the score 91-91 without the need to foul. Now I know one decision doesn't make a game, but 10 hours later it still sticks out to me.

It's whatever though. The team just needs to stay in the middle of the pack in the east until Rose gets back.

When did I say that I did? And also what have I said that is so wrong?

Are the Lakers not old and injury prone?
Is the Lakers bench not terrible?
Are the Lakers not a terrible defensive team?
Are the Lakers not terrible at defending PG's?
Is Steve Nash not an atrocious defensive player?
Is Pau Gasol not playing like crap?
Is Mike D'Antoni not one of the worst defensive coaches in NBA history?
Is Mike D'Antoni not one of the worst coaches currently in the NBA?
Is Dwight Howard not a liability down the stretch?

So you ENLIGHTEN me, what have I said that is wrong?

Anyway in some lighter news, RUBIO is expected to make his return on Saturday against the Mavs
