Pau Gasol may get an X-Ray on his left ankle as a precaution. They think it'll be fine, as he played the whole 2nd half on it.

Pau on Phil Jackson: "I think he wouldn’t be OK being just a consultant, but (instead) being a guy that calls the shots"

— Dave McMenamin (@mcten) March 8, 2014

Pau Gasol asked if Phil Jackson could use those 11 rings to sway free agents for a team: "I don't know if I picture him as a recruiter"

Farmar: "I hate being on losing teams, losing atmospheres, it gets to be contagious. It gets to be okay & it's not okay w/ me." (on TWC)

Here's Luke Walton's perspective: "Every game @paugasol should be the focal point of the offense." (on @TWCSportsNet)

Fan Game Reaction:

As a #Lakers fan, I truly hope that the next coach we hire understands how to motivate and communicate.

— Tamara McClure (@tampaige) March 8, 2014

Mike D'Antoni needs to be replaced. Jim Buss should step down, let Jeanie Buss run the team. #LakerNation #Lakers @JimBussLakers

— Asif Huda (@AsifHuda) March 8, 2014

How is Mike D'antoni still employed? Wow… #Lakers

— Duke Cage (@canuckduke) March 8, 2014

408 points in 3 games…I guess that's what we get for hiring D'antoni #Lakers

— Maxwell Smith (@Maxwe11uk) March 8, 2014

Problems everywhere in LA from top to bottom…#Lakers need to be gutted and rebuilt. It's not gona happen with D'antoni, sorry.

— Ty Skinner (@Tskins12) March 8, 2014

There's gotta be an alternate reality somewhere where CP3 and Dwight are #Lakers and Pau Gasol is happy. LOL….

— Duke Cage (@canuckduke) March 8, 2014

An 8 point loss for the Lakers against Denver. I guess it's less embarrassing than a 48 point loss… We're dying this season!!! 😦 #Lakers
