Getting no play even when we up by 20. Aside from that big 30 point game and a couple of solid ones, he's been :flabbynsick:. So is that why Antoni is throwing him in the bushes?

He's awful. He had a good stretch but if he's not hitting his shots he can't do shyt. He can't defend and has poor energy. He's where he belongs.

D'Antoni has never been about that bench life. By February he's only going to have a seven man rotation. I doubt Jamison makes it.

@MedinaLakersNBA: Antawn Jamison to me about 5 DNP's: "It doesn't make sense at all. They're pretty much telling me my services are no longer needed."

that's what i'm sayin.... after i saw sacre/ebanks come in, i knew jamison wouldn't get play time. that's just astonishing to me.

ya'll can say he's trash, but come on, he got 17 points in cleveland, he's still fukkin better than meeks/duhon, etc

i dont fukkin get it and it pisses me off.. pringles gonna run this team to the fukkin ground with the minutes they getting.

I don't know what's up with Jamison and the Lakers. It seemed like a good fit with him and Dwight out there together considering he has a solid perimeter game. I know he can still get you 15 a game so i don't know why he's riding the bench. Some players just don't fit in some systems and with some teams though.

In regards to why he didn't play in garbage time tonight, D'Antoni said it was outta respect to the veteran, he's too good to play garbage minutes. makes sense.

I don't see any minutes where we can play Jamison. He's a 4. And as of now, we gotta find minutes for Pau, MWP, and Jordan Hill. Jordan Hill can rebound consistently AND give solid defense, two things Jamison can't do on a consistent basis. No way in hell we try to play him at the 3, Mike Brown did that and jamison was trash then.

Unless MDA takes MWP from the backup 4 spot and puts him back at the 3, or Jordan Hill gets taken outta the rotation, there just simply isn't any minutes for Jamison.
