Nash Discussion: No harmony, no chemistry, no system (159)

We enjoy high scoring games. Nash, please tell MDA we need to score more than opponents.

i hope to see the ball in nash's hands even more. we didn't get enough good pick and roll action and dwight didn't touch the ball very much.

Kobe trusted him a lot tonight, and he should have. He missed a couple of late shots but still the guy is just so efficient.

He was good tonight. We know what he brings offensively. He's so skilled. Unfortunately, Lawson was a tough cover not only for him but for everybody who attempted to guard him. This is where team defense needs to get better...

shoot more please

Shoot more please!

55/45/100 in 5 games .. 18/28 overall and 4/6 from 3 since his return...

I think 11-12 shots a game is realistic for him with this team since he won't be as much a focus for the opponent D as he was with the Suns

+1. I like it when he calls his own number. The guy is money.

One of Nashes worse games as far as turnovers but he really is the key to this engine

I agree that he seemed a little more sloppy with the ball. He got himself in some bad positions on the court where he was unable to make a pass. But damn, it is awesome to have a PG where 15 and 8 is no big deal, and 2 turnovers is considered subpar

Nash's turnovers came from a lack of movement off the ball. If guys move, he will find you. Too much standing around and no effort from this team.

MDA needs to restart Metta and play Jamison off the bench at 3/4. Morris/Duhon should be the odd men out, Meeks needs to find is rhythm again.

not that i'm sure jamison would help the team overall, but i would like so see him play with a pg like nash. jamison is a master of off-ball movement.

exactly my point.

If starting Jamison, means taking out Morris, I'm all for it.

Two of his TO's were miscommunication with Pau on the PnR. Pau didn't roll hard enough. Nash passed to an area supposed to be occupied by the cutter.

i honestly would rather see ebanks start if were gunna keep playing metta on the bench at the 4.

kobe at the 3 or 2 is the same imo so why not take morris out of the equation, hold kobe accountable to actually play defense on his man, and play ebanks at the 3 who can defend, plays hard, crashes the boards, gets back quick, gets out and runs for easy points who nash can easily find. tell him to not shoot 3's and too calm down and not shoot so much. rather get your points from cutting, putbacks, and free throws.

if ebanks knows his role with the starters his youth, length, athleticism, etc will be a huge help to our starters and i think defense too. Morris is good defensively but nothing else. If kobe does what hes supposed to and plays D like everyone else in the league then ebanks can be great at the 3.

he'll only play limited minutes so if dantoni enforces his role i think hed be awesome.

This guy is just unique. He makes the game so much easier and honestly fun to watch. So, so skilled and smart on the court.

Greatest PG to put on a Laker jersey, after Magic. He's just awesome.

It's funny that his court vision is better when he's on the court than most players if they were watching tape.

To me, he is FIsher. Especilly the Fisher against Spurs.

I've given it some thought, I'd say Nash is a top 22-23 player of all time and the #3 PG all time. Dude is just so good it's unreal.
