I cant wait til the playoffs , this end of regular season is fucking boring to me ... Phil needs to rest the starters now , the race for the league best record is obviously lost ... Fish, Kobe and especially Pau need to chill out , Pau has played 40+ min in every fucking game for 2 months , 44 and 42 min on back to back games :-X... we need him in full effect for the playoffs ... play him like 30 min for the 8 remaining games , not more ..

It's a cycle:
Starts off the season ok
Feels exhausted by the All-Star break
Won't comment on coaching next year
Goes home to Montana to relax
Comes back next year feeling better
and the cycle continues...

--- Quote ---Injured Lakers center Andrew Bynum has a new, custom-made brace he plans to wear on his right knee once he is able to play again this season. Bynum worked out extensively before Friday night's game and proclaimed he is pain free from a medial collateral ligament tear suffered Jan. 31, against the Memphis Grizzlies.
Bynum is expected to add to his workload today when the Lakers practice in preparation for Sunday's game against the Clippers. The hope is that Bynum can return for at least two or three of the final regular-season games.
"That's the goal," Bynum said, "to come back as soon as possible and get some games under my belt."
With the Cleveland Cavaliers having lost two consecutive games, Jackson said the Lakers' goal of finishing the season with the league's best overall record remains attainable. With the regular season winding down, Jackson is making sure that recently acquired guard Shannon Brown is in the playing rotation. The hope is that Brown can provide defensive help in the playoffs.

Phil: Bynum likely to start when he returns

Instead of easing Andrew Bynum back into the rotation the way he suggested he would last month, Lakers coach Phil Jackson may throw his young center right back into the fray.
Jackson said Sunday he's now leaning toward immediately inserting Bynum into the starting lineup when he returns later this week so that his injured right knee will not get stiff from inactivity after pregame warmups.
A lack of stamina will likely limit Bynum to six- or seven-minute bursts, but Jackson insists the rest of his game is coming back quickly.
"He looks good," Jackson said. " He had contact on Thursday when we got back, and Saturday was 5-on-5 without Pau, Fish and Kobe. He did well, he stood out and he was aggressive. The other practice D.J.(Mbenga) kind of ate him up, but this one he was the dominant force in there."
