Sasha and Vlad enjoy the abuse. It turns them on.

So if you think they're a bunch of idiots, put Bynum in during fourth quarters. Ridiculous why our best defensive player doesn't touch the floor in the final periods.

All this is code speak for Mitch........................"Get them the hell off my team now !" Lololol

Seriously though Phil is right, but I agree with TL play Drew if they're the dummies you think they are.

everyone's personality can't be the deadly "go for the juggular" type kobe is...

every team needs that bonehead that speaks before he thinks...

frankly, im happy our one is a productive part of the rotation

The part that is tough to watch is Vlad being apart of this team and getting killed by his Coach which means he will be even tougher to move.

lol... nice.

Phil is right about both, although Radmanovic is at least shooting the ball well overall (top 10 3-point shooting). Vujacic just isn't doing much of anything well.

I agree with Phil.

Sasha's decision making is pretty much horrible on both ends. And for those who think Sasha plays good defense, don't mistake activity for achievement. One trick pony.

Radman, see Sasha. I have hope for Sasha, though.

I dont know if anyone caught this in the New Orleans game but Sasha fouled Chris Paul all the way at halfcourt. Sasha ran to the other end of the court after the foul was called to "vent".

Then the camera cuts to Phil Jacksons face and I swear he says "F*cks wrong with you" while shaking his head.

I was laughing so hard and kept rewinding it for my buddys. Hilarious

Vlad-Rad is total rag.. on defence he just runs around like a headless chicken.. does not know when to double and when to stick to his man.. Every time he is in the game.. opposition teams invariable endup getting a lay up..

Vujacic is just going through a slump.. he is a fitting bench producer.. I he think he needs to stop bodying up people in half court and also stop slapping and swinging his hands around. that Rick Fox style of play is no longer allowed in the league.. i think the lakers coaching staff has not learned about it i guess...

I don't know if anyone caught every game Sasha has ever played in, but he has always done that to all of his opponents. Especially this season. It's getting really old.

I've been saying since he was drafted that Sasha's NBA IQ is a big zero.Should have let him go last summer.

I think Sasha's problem is that he doesn't look for his shot enough...oops, wrong player. Sorry.

Seriously, I think he's just trying too hard. He reminds me of that Chris Farley bit in "Tommy Boy" about wanting to make a sale so bad he ends up strangling it to death, like JoJo the circus idiot. That's Sasha right now -- JoJo the circus idiot, so desperate to make plays and contribute that he's forcing everything to the absolute max. He should just tone it down a few notches, relax and let the game come to him.

That said, I infinitely prefer someone like that, who at least cares, over the lifeless, brain-dead, fortune-stealing slug that is Vladimir Radmanovic. I didn't think it was possible that I'd ever loathe a Laker more than Smush Parker, but he proved me wrong.

i'm going to praise the rest of the team, and how they are doing so well, with such liabilities on it

Bynum needs to stay out off the floor in the 4th quarter because he clogs up the lane for Kobe. Kobe is the guy who is expected to close out the game so he needs all the room he can get. Of course I do not like the fact that it is Bynum who has to sit down, but it is what it is.
