I just wanted to note something that happened tonight in the Cavs game. Sasha, when he got that offensive rebound, then threw the ball under the basket that got intercepted, that was Sasha's first turnover in 2009. For those of you keeping count, that is 140 minutes played and 15 assists in 2009 before he made that turnover. Since Farmers injury and Sasha moving to the backup point, he has (including tonight) turned the ball over in only two games (out of thirteen played), totaling only 3 turnovers vs 24 assists during that span. Obviously, he's not a big playmaker, but he's doing what he's suppose to do, which is take care of the ball .. oh, and he's done a very good job defending as well verdict: We do NOT need another point guard.
^^I think it has more to do with Kobe and Odom facilitating the offense. Sasha has been a nice lift off the bench though. Apparently Farmar is expected to return ahead of schedule. I still think we need a guard who can score in the post and face guard his man. Bulls had Randy Brown, Lakers had Harper, if we could add a similar player we'd be in great shape for a Championship run.
If Lamar is healthy, I DONT think we need another pt guard. He can initiate the offense and bring the ball up the court. An sadly, Sasha is our best defensive pt guard, and Ariza is the best at defending opposing pt guards.
