Luke Walton is NOT in the rotation. Hopefully he finishes this game with a DNP-Coaches Decision. Guy was bringing absolutely NOTHING to this team. In the staples ive been hearin alot more boooos than luuuuukes lately.

I've noticed it too before. Limited minutes for Luke = Lakers victory!

I'm glad Turiaf's getting his minutes.

They should call Luke Alton, because theres no W when he plays.

It's a good thing he picked Luke over Jumaine. Couldn't have used Jumaine this year at all.

Yeah, but he's still out of sync with time management and substitutions. Once again, strange line-up in the 4th that almost made it a game. He doesn't use Bynum at all, then all of a sudden the kid is in the 4th quarter crunch time. What sense does that make? Afraid to use Andrew during the game because he may screw things up, but not afraid to use him when the game is on the line? That's just freaking strange.

Now we just have to hope he realizes Sasha should be on the bench as well...

He didn't figure it out yet because he isn't on the injury list.

YOU MISSED A KEY FACTOR!

KWAME DIDN'T START

Phil has figured out our rotation... 6 seed here we come!

Nothing was figured out.

They just played defense. The difference was the TO and points of TO's. Lakers dominated them through forcing TO's.

That's team defense and what this team needs to do to make the playoffs.

Whenever these guys play good sound team defense they are a good team. When they don't, they can lose to anyone.

Forget the game and how it turned out. Luke Walton did not play and the Lakers were successful. That is a step in the right direction.

How long are stuck with Luke?

Amen brother. I hope Luke doesn't get any minutes except in garbage time. Now if we can only get another guard so Sasha can sit right next to Luke. I swear Sasha was in tears again the way Arroyo just violated him again and again in front of 18,000 people.

oh where oh where are the people who claimed Walton as key player off the bench (many even wanted him to start) before this season began?

Phil figured it out on the 3rd quarter, but the result was a bad 4th quarter.

The decision to keep Luke Walton over Jumaine Jones was strictly stupid. Waltons knowledge of the triangle has no bearing if he is only having a negative impact on the game, both offensively and defensively. Jumaine should have been retained and we could have one 3 or more games this year. He provided hustle, smarts, offensive rebounding, and a steady jumpshot. Perfect team player. Phil once again getting rid of a player he has already pre-judged.(Ruben Patterson) THATS RACIST. hopefully he can be resigned in the summer for the LLE

Luke needs to remain on the bench. That's the best spot for him. Also, everything starts on the defensive end of the floor. Last night, we forced a lot of turnovers and got a lot of easy baskets. We need to be consistent and continue doing that tonight at Portland.
