wow at Artest
Ron Artest wants to close out games, Phil Jackson not on board
http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.c...-not-on-board/
“I didn’t even get a chance to be a distraction. I only played 20 minutes,” Artest said about the Lakers’ Christmas loss to Miami.
“I thought I played pretty well last game … in limited minutes,” Artest said. “It was unfortunate I couldn’t get off the bench in the fourth quarter. I felt pretty good.”
“I was almost having a semi-breakout game. … I was really close to having a breakout game. I felt good the past couple games. It’s just unfortunate I’m not able to work my way off the bench.”
LAKERS NOTEBOOK: Jackson says Bynum not physically at full strength yet

Jackson on Bynum:"It's just reactions right now. Conditioning is part of that," Jackson said. "I think his reactive ability and reacting to the ball and the game is still an issue, but he is one of the guys who could put the ball in the hoop."
Jackson wouldn't say Bynum is overweight.
"Well, I don't think in those terms," Jackson said. "Andrew is heavy. He's a muscular kid. I don't think he's overweight, per se, but he could probably stand to lose 10 pounds and be lighter and have less of a load to carry."
Bynum on being fit: "For me, I'm probably about a month away. I know I keep saying that, but that's how I feel.
"I haven't played even 20minutes (in a game) yet. I haven't played anything over a four- or five-minute stretch at a time, so I have some business to attend to."
Brown chiming in:
"Sometimes you've got to play through that," said Brown, who had 10 points on three-for-nine shooting. "In a game like this, Kobe is not going to want to come out of the game, no matter what. We've got to play smarter. Ron has got to play smarter and not get easy, dumb fouls, or whatever you want to call them.... But it did mess up our rotations a little bit, but there's no reason or no excuse to come out and do what we did."
ers are probably working on a trade of Artest + Bynum for Marc Gasol + Rudy Gay.

wow at Artest
lol breakout game = ed by lebron
Shut the up Artest and grab your meds instead of grabbing the ball.
Matt Barnes with his 2 cents:
"I played eight minutes and then I didn't play again until garbage time," said Barnes, who played 9:26 in the first quarter and didn't play again until there was 6:13 left, with the Lakers trailing by 16 points.
"We have confidence in everybody who is out on the court," Barnes continued. "Our bench has been good this year. No one from the bench really got a role tonight. We pressed on the starters tonight. They did all they could do. But we've got to get a better effort off the bench no matter if we're in there for 40 seconds or 40 minutes."
Jackson on who to blame for loss to the Heat:
Jackson pointed out that Ron Artest got into foul trouble early in the first quarter, which threw off the rotations.
Jackson pointed out that Kobe Bryant insisted on starting the second quarter with the reserves, something that rarely happens. And that, too, threw off the rotations.
Maybe because you suck ass Barnes.
wow Jackson pointing out Kobe for ing up his rotations and thus throwing the game
Jackson is an ass
crazy bunch of s. They deserve each other.
If Spurs don't whip that ass tonight they don't deserve to be even named a contender. Goddam it they better them up.
I second that.
It's just one regular season game.
I'd rather lose this and win the next 6 than beat the Lakers and drop 2 of 3 afterward.
Would definitely be a nice win to crush them tonight though.
lolwut?
I don't want to see the starters run for 40+ minutes tonight in a one-point overtime win, is the point.
You don't rest starters against the champs, its a statement game.
Beware of the wounded animal - LAL will come out to make a statement on the court, if they don't it could turn ugly with all of the technicals by Bryant and crew lately

and......When I was 12 I rubbed some alcohol on my balls because someone told me alcohol would make hair on my nutsac grow faster.
and let me be clear...that ing burned like ...
there's a subtle message for you in my personal example
Statement games in December?
I hear that alcohol only burns giant vaginas.
Just sayin'...
So the Heat-Lakers game was just another game?Statement games in December?
To me it was. Was it any different than Lakers-Cavs the year before?
Um, did you want to be one, Ron? WTF?
Well yeah.
How many wins is it worth toward playoff seeding?
Don't the Lakers do this every December?
