I mean seriously - there was a play where he was just dribbling it on the perimeter, wide open, tried to crossover under his legs and had it go off his leg (thankfully he got it back). Pray tell how a veteran professional point guard can make such a mistake?

That led to the Harden 3?

The funny thing is is just the endless series of errors. You see one of those errors and you say, ok, just a mess up. I mean it's not like his skills are completely awful. I mean he looks like he knows how to play the game... but it's just one error after another. Horrible shot, pass to the other team, dribble off your foot, dribble off your hand, dribble off the other team... Hard to "diagnose" after a while other than to just say: the guy isn't very good right now.

Sessions should never be seen in a purple uniform again. He's a disgrace to the game of basketball
3-9 shooting, 3ast 5to.
WHAT THE HELL WAS MALONE THINKING GIVING THIS BUM 33 MINUTES!??!?!

That's the problem. Ray may not be making as obvious mistakes out there, but he's not giving us anything either. DARREN WE NEED YOU BACK!

Are you really implying that if you were the coach, you'd play Sessions more than RayMac?

And it's crazy because Sessions has been long regarded as one of the better back-up PGs in the league.

Well I'd hate to sit next to him during Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow. The gravy will end up all over the two guys next to him.

At least Ray has the excuse of being a 2nd year player who has barely played in his career. Sessions has played for years and with greats (Kobe) and literally sucked the life out of the team tonight. We couldn't do anything because he has an extremely difficult time just dribbling/hanging on to the ball with hardly any pressure. If he got double teamed forget it, might as well hand them the ball. Ray at least tries. I can take sucking with effort. Sessions as a vet should set an example, but all he is setting is career highs in TOs.
True though that may be, I don't accept that excuse. When you have two guys available on the second night of a back-to-back, that don't even get into the game, the short-handed excuse doesn't fly. When coach plays Sessions thirty-five minutes, when McCallum is sitting right there, that doesn't fly, either.
And, while we were missing two starters, they were missing three. And it took their lead guy thirty-one shots to score twenty-six points. That's an Allen Iverson-type line. We should have won this game.

Shh, sessions is the worst basketball player on the planet.
He's been a special kind of bad. I don't know what else to say.

I have never hated a player more in my life than Sessions (I can't beleive I thought he was good), also add to that, that D-Mo schooled the living crap out of Cousins and JT and you got yourself a embarrassing performance. Cousins trying to do way to much him and Sessions just turning the ball over at a insane rate that game. WTF serious to get beat by Cannon and D-Mo are you kidding me. We struggle to beat average teams I can't understand why, I'm actually worried that we are playing 11 of the next 14 against sub 500.
Ben did great on Harden and Casspi contained Ariza and we get beat by scrubs cause we played dumb and didn't hustle.

Indeed. When we signed him everyone was saying it was a coup, and with good reason... The dude used to be a player, we got him for a good deal..
WFT happened?!?!?!
Maybe every other GM saw something PDA didnt? I dunno its weird that a player can go from SOLID to PooPoo like this.
Anyways...Trade him for a 2nd rounder. Or a bag of chips. Whatever.

The other "comical" part regarding Sessions, is our announcers seem reluctant to say anything about it. During or after the game
At least McCallum's assist-to-turnover ratio was a whole number.

Really a testament to how well we've played overall, when you consider how much Sessions has played at the point guard position....and we still have 9 wins already

He's not the worst player on the planet, but he just might be the worst PG getting meaningful mins in the NBA right now, and there are better PG's in both Europe and China.
I guarantee if Pooh Jeter was running the team tonight he'd have taken better care of the ball.
One thing about Cousins is he still doesn't have a go to post move/ half hook sorta thing (which we saw all night from D-Mo). With his size and strength it's strange that he doesn't try to use those hooks more. But then again, we're having him catch the ball at the high post more often than not.

Does Ramon Sessions play drunk ever since he came to Sacramento? He can't dribble a basketball, literally, Reggie Evans could do a better job bringing the ball up the floor.

Yup it was that play or the one where BMac missed a wide open 3. But more so on Sessions losing the ball because Cuz ran all the way down the court for nothing.
Sac.Kings
All-Star
Like you, I also blame Cuz for those stupid things, but what else was the guy supposed to do? He was all alone tonight with some Casspi mixed in. His teammates completely let him down and he was frustrated because he knew we should be winning and should have won.

Yeah I agree, whats frustrating is he does have that shot but only uses every 3-4 games, him taking jumpers and dribble drives against Dorsey and Black is bad basketball., I would understand if Dwight was guarding him and he did that, but you got two 6'6 guys and your taking 20 footers.
It's getting to the point with Sessions where I don't know what more he has to do and how much more he can hurt us for him to lose his playing time entirely.
