^^Yea, but half of our team was dead.To say Kwame Brown and Mo Evans are anything less than average defenders is not just wrong, but insane. To say Odom is bad on defense is laughable. Odom is versatile enough to guard positions 1-5, and his length is very very valuable on D. Fish is one of the top defensive point guards in the league, no matter what way you look at it. Bynum needs to add strength, but at the raw age of 19, averaged almost 2 blocks a game in limited minutes. Turiaf and Mihm ARE foul prone, but can provide good defense when they can stay in the game. This guy barely watches Laker basketball...PeACe

Phil Jackson, Kurt Rambis, Joel Meyers & Stu Lantz, hell even some of the Lakers roster say it all the time that defense is their biggest problem.

Did you read what I just said, or only the last sentence?
Most Improved Player: Andrew Bynum6th Man of the Year: Luke Walton Coach Of The Year: Phil JacksonMVP: Kobe (though he'll probably get robbed again )
Some niggas that can afford it should bet on Kobe being at training camp or not When does it start?
"This could well be my last year of coaching," Jackson said before flying to Springfield, Mass., for tonight's induction. "I'm not saying it is but it could be."I think I have an outstanding offer to sign up again, but I have held that back because of my recovery. . . ."Then there's the basis of how well the team does. . . . If this team doesn't move forward quickly, and that's, I think, the second round of the playoffs, then I think we have to reconsider."
Phil Jackson sided with Kobe as well...
