Antawn Jamison Discussion: Cockroach

CAN DANTONI PLEASE PLAY THE MAN NOW?! CAN ANYONE PLAY WORSE THAN PAU TONIGHT?! NO.

Jamison would easily be better at rebounding, shooting, defense, being a man, everything basketball and life male related.

beyond sad that jamison still hasnt played...and those 3 pity minutes do not count tonight.

i blame jamison for the loss tonight. he did nothing in his 2 minutes.

Unquestionably. More money and a lot more PT with significant less pressure. But he felt he could win here, and I seriously respected his decision. Too bad he's not playing

how can any forward sit on the lakers bench, see's pau play, and not wonder why theyre not starting or at least playing more minutes, or at all in jamison's case.

feel so bad for the guy. got 3 mins tonight and got 1 rebound. easily more productive than pau was minute for minutes imo

What the hell do you expect him to do in three minutes?

In three minutes Jordan Hill can get 2/2 probably and probably some other intangible things. Jamison got a rebound and did absolutely nothing else.

He's a shooter, though, and we've seen inconsistent minutes screw with a shooter's mentality.

That doesn't affect rebounding and effort though. The point is that the reason Hill is getting minutes Is that he is more effective.

So you are saying you're fine with him not playing?

If he's going to have that kind of impact, then hell yes. He needs to earn those minutes and when he finally gets a chance to play, I expected more energy out of him.

Ebanks gets slammed for that kind of effort, but we want more of Jamison?

Except Ebanks isn't the type of offensive x factor that can explode for 33 points in a game. I agree with your premise, though. This team doesn't need another player like him, it needs more youth/hustle in the vein that Hill provides.

Did anyone think Jamison was nervous out there?

He finally gets to run & I think he was so worried about what MDA would think. He was over thinking and not playing "naturally" or with a "flow".

It's on him just as much, but how can you blame him? His credentials with this system, and 6 DNP-CD's? I'd be over thinking it too.

I think if he gets PT tonight he'll return back to normal.

jamison is proven

ebanks is pure garbage at best

Just play the guy. Pau is all busted up and didn't get the job done last game. More minutes for our backup 4s, please.

good luck Jamison

'Antoni and Jamison have both talked about waiting for his opportunity, well here it is. We will need him big time now, scoring, rebounding, he will need to play a huge role if we aren't going to fall off for good.

With Dwight, Pau and Hill out... Jamison will...


Wait... do you think he had something to do with all this? It's a conspiracy! Jamison/Sacre FTW!

Watch Clark get more minutes than Jamison. I was shocked to see him shoot Pau's FTs last night in lieu of Jamison.

George Karl got to be pick whoever he wanted on the Lakers to shoot the free throws since Pau couldn't. That wasn't a MDA decision.

I sincerely doubt that.

Oh damn. I totally forgot about that rule. I was watching the game with 4 crazy kids running around so I didn't hear.

Well I wanted to see more Jamison.....just not this way

I sincerely don't care about your opinion.

In Tuesday's loss, Lakers coach Mike D’Antoni openly bickered with Antawn Jamison on the sideline as the once-benched player said it was, "Nothing to really talk about. … It's one of those things that happened.

Anyone see this? Not a good sign..and Jamison doesn't strike me as the type to get into it with coach...
