The Incredibly Sucky Ramon Sessions Thread

Let's make it official, we have Maynor 2.0 on the team. Yeah, we know he will be flipped next-year to use his expiring contract, but he doesn't offer the scoring we so badly need in a back-up for John. Ironic, he was brought-in to be a "spark".

Incredibly sucky player is acquired by Wizards and turns out to be incredibly sucky.

Someone call CNN.

Well, that didn't take long.

I'd call this the "Belated Incredibly Sucky Ramon Sessions Thread". It didn't take that long but it could have been posted within minutes of the trade being executed.

5 points (on 5 shots and 2 free throw attempts), 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 turnovers in 12 minutes. As bad as that is, I thought he would be worse, which may mean it may be coming soon.

He's not Maynor, which means he's an NBA player. But that's about it. He's an NBA player. Barely. We were not going to give up a lot so we didn't get a lot.

LOL. Yeah, this should have been up the day of the trade, but even Maynor was given a chance to prove us wrong. The SAC board is thrilled to be rid of him.

Andre Miller at 75 years old is better. Atleast the Professor can make a layup.

He does get to the rim. I suspect one problem he has finishing is... Kwame hands.

:lol: Yup, slower, but better than Sessions
Andre Miller logged his first double-double of the season in a 110-99 loss to the Blazers on Sunday, scoring 12 points with 10 assists, two boards and two steals in 26 minutes.

I'm not sure I've seen a player brick layups and floaters with such ferocity. He obviously failed geometry in middle school.

Awful, just awful. He passed Grunfelds eye test though, so we know he's good.

Andre Miller, even when he needs to use his cane is way better. We totally got fleeced.

I just can't fathom it. When I played ball, the floater was easy as pie. I could make that shot with my eyes closed. When I see players like Sessions, Maynor and to some extent Wall...I just don't get it. I've come to accept the fact that their hand eye coordination is just ****.

Wall can't make a floater either. He did early in the season and now he just can't or won't try it. I'm sure you're great at floaters in rec league. Doing it in the NBA over 7-footers with eight foot wing spans are probably a bit more difficult than at the Y.

Sessions actually wasn't bad tonight with 10 points (4-7) and zero turnovers in 16 minutes and a +2 compared to Wall's -13 and 3 of 14 shooting.

I'm reading in the Post comments section, people talking about John dealing with some nagging injuries. Perhaps it's time to give John a bit of rest and flip his minutes with Ramon...may as well.
