Los Angeles Lakers: 66-1

We could spend this slip referring to Kobe Bryant’s triumphant return from injury or Byron Scott’s old-timey rejection of the three-point shot.
We could touch on the potential of newcomer Julius Randle, the breakout possibilities for Ed Davis or the over/under on”and-1!” Screams per match from Carlos Boozer (it’s 6.5).
But no. No. It is much too soon for this. The grief is still too sore.
Steve Nash–two-time MVP, offensive maestro and Decent dude–is via, according to a report from B/R’s Kevin Ding:
The most up-to-date and possibly last setback of Steve Nash’s disappointing tenure with the Los Angeles Lakers has come.
Nash has been ruled out to the 2014-15 NBA season because of recurring nerve damage in his back, according to league sources.
Even if we all saw this coming long ago, the stark reality that one of the game’s most transformative trendsetters is completed doesn’t hurt any less. This is a loss for the NBA–just one mitigated only mildly by how far the league gained out of Nash’s offensive genius and amusing style.
Truthfully, a healthy Nash wouldn’t have made a real difference for the Los Angeles Lakers this year–not at age 40 and not for a group which has just zero law-abiding defensive players. L.A. was almost definitely a lottery team in the West until he went down, and it is going to stay one without him.
Bummer to the max.
