Lakers' Phil Jackson, Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom discuss 104-96 victory over Minnesota Timberwolves
Lakers Coach Phil Jackson
Jackson before the game on Andrew Bynum's progress. Peculiar timing with Bynum's left Achilles' strain to say the least. Notice Jackson's comments on Bynum's potential, assuming he stays healthy.

Lakers will be unstopable if Lamar finish his lay up . But he use to miss all of them. It's really pathetic.

MM - Please tell Zaira that I said hello. I didn't get to see the game yesterday due to me traveling back to the LBK. Hope you are well too.
I'm pretty sure you already know this, but there are plenty of us who appreciate the job that you do on the blog. Keep up the good work. I check for information here first before I check the LA Times sports page, as I am sure that there are others who do the same.

Lamar can hold down the fort until Bynum gets back. We need Bynum against Dallas, Denver or Cleveland in the playoffs. It'll be interesting to see how we do against San Antonio and Portland w/o him.

Couldn't sleep last nite... Bynum injury didn't sit well with my stomach. With the tough road trip looming, here we go again, without Bynum, playoffs around the corner, sucks I guess. Praying for good news.
Justanothamamba good luck with the knee bro, god bless.
During the live chat at last nite's game I'm reading people saying Bynum's the best center in the league. If he plays like this we are unstoppable blah, blah, blah . The ups and downs are crazy aren't they? Lesson learned. Don't get too high or to low, because from one game to the next you never know what's going to happen. Kobe could average 10 assists a game from here on out. LO could put up all star numbers from here on out. Jordan Farmar... no, no I'm just kidding with that one. Seriously though, you never know though is all I'm saying.
In the meantime focus on the prize. The parade is all we care about in the city of purple and gold. We do it for Chick Hearns, god bless his soul. We do it for legacy, keep showtime alive! We do it for dynasty, nuff said.
