Phil Jackson - "Its like raising dogs"

To hear Phil Jackson describe his team before Game 4, you'd think the Lakers were in desperate need of Cesar Millan.
In a long response to a question about his young team, Jackson likened it to raising dogs, comparing backup point guard Jordan Farmar to a poodle and describing perpetually injured reserve center Chris Mihm as a Saint Bernard. Kobe Bryant, of course, is "top dog." (If you're wondering where Jackson learned his dog training skills, he made a cameo appearance when girlfriend Jeanie Buss called in the Dog Whisperer to straighten out her pooch).
I've always thought of Odom as a big puppy. He makes a lot of mistakes but has such a pity-inducing face that it's hard to stay mad at him.

The Machine is a Chihuahua, of course.
Gasol will always be an owl to me, though.

I am glad he said what he said about the refs trying to give the game to the Spurs except for the last play because if they weren't so clearly bias against us except for the last second they would be giving the game to the Spurs tonight to make up for the Barry thing.
Lakers need this game. This is a must win or they are going to 7. I don't think Kobe will let them lose though.
