the pb is that the team is not commited to D ... the rare times they put effort in it , they look good ... outside Fish and Walton , everybody has the physical tools to play at least decent D but working hard is obviously not in the Lakers vocabulary and on a team with a lack of veterans , the coach has to show the example and give his team the mentality ... you have to push Gasol and Bynum who are lazy fucks on D to put effort in it but the " team has to auto-coached itself" theory of Jackson shows his huge limits
as for Bynum...he's a good defender too.
he was an enforcer in the paint...right now, it's CRYSTAL CLEAR that Bynum is not the same player he was prior to the injury. he doesnt have the same lift, the same speed, the same energy...he doesnt move around the same. you think maybe that's stunting his defense? LOL...lets just be realistic here. Bynum was our key on defense prior to the injury...PeACe
Lakers play great d when they want. FIsh is not a great defender anymore. DId u watch Brooks eat him up or was that just me?

DId u watch Brooks eat him up or was that just me?Of course Fisher can't guard Brooks, man. He's getting old. And Farmar has the speed but he lacks IQ on defense. I think Shannon Brown will have a great minutage for us in the next season, if we don't acquire another PG via trade.
