SPORTSNET/SPORTSNUT

The scenario shifts. Losses are old history now

and wins are all the talk of the town. No more 

do we have coach Mike Brown with our Lakers

either, but the crowd chanted "Bring back Phil".

Yes, coach Phil Jackson did retire on what

he probably thought was a sticky wicket with

our Lakers losing out in getting yet another

ring and that is a shame. Yes, his health

is much improved we are hearing, but the

sports latest information is telling us that

the new coach hired for our "FAB FOUR"

and all the Lakers players to listen to and

to hopefully gain insight from, will not

be Phil after all. Seems another Mike will

be taking their offer..Mike D'Antoni.

We will graciously accept him into the

fold and  listen to his teachings in the

role chosen for him. We have been on a

winning streak already which is pretty

great! Recently we won against Golden

State and again against Sacramento.

Our games have been played in Staples

Center and as home games I suppose

that we indeed have had the advantage.

Without Steve Nash out on the floor

we were sort of wondering just how it

would play out, but with point guard Steve

Blake he's done a wonderful job there.

Kobe was out a bit too and of course

initially so was Dwight Howard. Having

Pau Gasol always right at the net when

needed and Metta World Peace grabbing

the opportunities provided for him with 

making baskets has been great too.
