Jackson Declines to Comment on Poor Performance Sunday

The Lakers may have beaten the Clippers on Sunday night, but it wasn’t the type of win they’re accustomed to against their hometown rivals, and rather than comment negatively on his team’s performance Lakers’ Coach Phil Jackson has opted to stay almost mute on the subject. Jackson only spoke for about 30 seconds after the game before abruptly ending the news conference and on Monday he told the L.A. Times, “I was just disgurntled. There’s nothing to say about a game like that. To rant or rave, I just didn’t want to get involved with that.”

Andrew Bynum took part in a five-on-five scrimmage at the team’s El Segundo training facility and said he plans on playing either Sunday against Memphis or next Tuesday against Utah: “I’m feeling good, feeling great. No pain, no swelling. The only thing I’m limited by is just being out of the game for a little while so I’m going to have to get my timing back. Couple of things, I’m reacting a little bit late, but other than that, I’m ready to go.”
