You just reiterated what a ton of sports analyst have said. Yeah, he's a bit lost out there but they'll make adjustments.

who gives a fukk he lost? You still telling me a team with Kobe, Howard and Gasol should be catching the beats from 8-9th seed caliber teams?

The issues are bigger than just the offense they are running...I dont think even if you ran PnR Nash would be much better...I think his age has caught up with him...

You could see him slowing down last year and even more right now...They arent getting the Nash from 2006 whos offense was so good it would circumvent his D....

I agree that Mike Brown is a terrible coach but i kind of agree with wha he said that Nash has the freedom to run whatever he wants if he feels uncomfortable..Its not all on the coach at some point these players have to do it and play defense which they arent doing :manny:

Their is a lack of spacing with the Lakers and that's been the case anytime Gasol is on the court. Nash don't have the personnel in LA.

What they did in PHX isnt going to work in LA they dont have the shooters...

And what they did in Phoenix didn't "work" there either, in terms of what is expected from a Lakers squad.

Nash needs the offense built around him and the floor spread at all times with only one (or preferably no) post players out there. But tailoring the offense around Nash isn't going to help the Lakers win a championship. Chris Paul would be :eat: out there, but there's no way the Lakers could have ever had him.... oh, wait...

People were fooled by nash's numbers in that up tempo suns system.It was drive n kicks,shoot a lot of shots early in the shot clock and in transition plus he's old

It's a major difference when you have boris diaw or channing frye jackin 3's and pau gasol by the 3 point line

Yup Lakers should have known it wasnt going to look the same...It looks like the Suns when they brought Shaq in and clogged up the middle and took away that drive and kick offense he looked very mediocre,like he does now...

Lakers offense is fine... their defense is horrible. Pick and roll defense is bad, they aren't contesting shots, and Kobe/Nash CANNOT guard youngins like Collison, Lillard, Beaubois, Mayo, etc... the West has quick guards on every team outside of LAL.
