Jackson isn't afraid to tweak players, although he hadn't criticized Pau Gasol -- until Tuesday.
Jackson didn't like Gasol's early effort Sunday against Sacramento.
"He was soft to the ball, he was soft on the rebounds," Jackson said. "He acknowledged that he wasn't quite ready to play in that game. He came back in the second half and played well."
Gasol had two turnovers in the first four minutes but finished with 20 points and nine rebounds in a 114-92 victory over the Kings.
