That is a problem, and really kind of intriguing since last year he averaged 8+ assists last year (Not really hard passing to KD though, but still...). Basically, Westbrook has not gotten any better managing the ball since his rookie year, and it's still showing this year, averaging 6 TOs this season.
    i agree westbrook decision making is bad. it really is. he takes shots when he shouldnt, takes shots before passing the ball at all on the possession. and yes the turnovers are a problem, but to let you know when Nash was young he averaged 3.2-3.7 turnovers per game. and today he still averaged close to 3, and he is considered one of the best ball handlers and PGs in the game. and Deron Williams who is considered the 2nd best PG by most people averages around 3.5 TO's per game, so Westbrook isnt that bad at turning it over as it looks. really to me his only glaring problem is him taking shots when he should pass, but i think he will get better at his decision making in time.

        On another note, this is the last Lakers game without Drew. That is until his knee's go "Lays" on us.

              I saw that too. I'm wondering if it's about that time to call it a career?

                Not yet. Suns should trade him to a contender and let him ring chase, and begin a full rebuild right after they trade him.

                Nash is too loyal to ever demand a trade.

                      It would never happen so there's no need to even think about it.

                      Nash is not going anywhere. And he's not slipping either. And the team doesnt have to rebuild. They've been rebuilding since 2008. That's the problem. The 2010 WCF Run? That was a result of a rebuild. Then they decided to rebuild again.

                      If Nash hasn't left yet, if he hasn't been a distraction yet, if he hasn't acted like a primadonna douche like we're used to seeing from other guys yet, if he hasn't requested a trade yet, he's not going to.

                      And there is no situation or trade available that makes sense. The "contenders" all either have their PG, play a system that kills Nash's abilities, or don't have anywhere near the assets to get him.

                      People just have to deal with it.

                      He played poorly because our offense blows.

                        The Suns shot 41.3 percent from the field in a 104-83 loss to the Sixers, dropping their record to 0-2 on the season.
                        "We're not ready to panic or anything like that," Suns coach Alvin Gentry said. "Am I disappointed? Sure, I'm disappointed. But you can't stay there. You don't have the time to linger in pity."
                        Steve Nash finished with 4 points on 2-of-11 shooting, one assist and six turnovers.
                        "I think it's a combination of a lot of things," Nash said. "Shortened training camp, lack of familiarity, not efficient yet, not making shots and we're not in sync.

                        "Some of it is a part of the shortened camp. I think we need to get a little tougher at times and not look around and hope things will get better."

                        Not the right thread, but thought it was relevant given the discussion.

                          I got to watch some of the Heat Vs. Bobcats last night. Loving the League pass free preview. I haven't seen much of the Bobcats the last couple years since the aren't on Espn and TNT much so when I saw Boris Diaw I was like what happen to this guy? When did he get so "hefty"?

                            Bobcats are never on ESPN. Maybe things will change if Kemba gets more time to shine.

                            Boris put on weight to play Center. (Or so says Marino.)

                              I think it's funny that if you Google image his name a picture of Eddy Curry is on page 1.
