Can't.
Or.
Won't.
Play.
Defense.

On a positive note, "Big Shot" Robert Horry is an awesome dresser.

Now if he can only learn not to slouch in the chair.

D'Antoni and Jordan Hill are at odds again...that's just ****ing great. I was worried about this.

Hill deserves minutes, but he was held to only 4 all ****ing night long. D'Antoni didn't even look the reporter in the eye in answering a question as to why Jordan didn't play.

Oh, and there is this...

Kobe just walked off the court with three seconds left in the game.

Nice, Kobe. Real nice.

Asked DAntoni what the thinking was on not putting Pau back in when Jamison fouled out in crunch time? He said "I'd like to win this game"

Why did D'Antoni sit Pau down the stretch? "I was thinking I'd like to win this game, that's what I was thinking."

**Jace** · 11-23-2012, 08:00 PM

Pau for Novak?

How can Dwight get stripped so often? It is getting out of hand.

At least Jamison played well. I give him credit for battling Randolph on defense too.

Oh and the flops were ridiculous. The NBA will never get rid of flopping unless they do something about charges. I say just get rid of them completely.

D'Antoni on Pau's conditioning: "That could be questionable. You have to ask him. But he'll be rested for tomorrow, that's for sure."

And the zingers just keep coming...D'Antoni clearly not happy with Pau Gasol.

**Basel** · 11-24-2012, 01:12 AM

I'm happy I missed this game. Would've been frustrating to watch.

and the situation with Pau shows to me that the Lakers probably should have hire Phil Jackson

The bench played well. Got us back into the game twice. Starters just couldn't get anything going. I don't know what's wrong with Pau.

**Seuss** · 11-24-2012, 11:11 AM

Kobe is the most important player on your team, but you can't fully judge this team without Steve Nash. D'Antoni's system needs a PG who can create. We saw how messy his system looked in NY without a great point guard. And obviously, Mike D has to start better incorporating post plays for Howard and Gasol.

**King Sancho Fantastic** · 11-24-2012, 03:51 PM

I think Pau is going through the same thing KG is going through. He's becoming strictly a center. Pau doesn't have the mobility to play on the perimeter anymore. Sure he can do it in spurts but he wears down too easy chasing guys around on the perimeter for +35. Especially in a high octane, running offense like DAntoni's. Saw glimpses if this even when Phil was here. Best thing to do is to bring him off the bench as Dwight's primary backup and run the offense through him with Jamison/Hill splitting minutes at the 4.

Makes sense, at least in theory. It gives the starting lineup a little more youth and gives the bench a (relatively) consistent scorer. Get it done, Pringles.
