The Tweets
Pau Gasol could return Dec. 22 vs. Golden State. He said he's doubtful Sunday vs. Philly & questionable next Tues vs. Charlotte
— Mark Medina (@MedinaLakersNBA) December 14, 2012
Pau Gasol said he has over 3 days gotten basically pain-free in his knees on treadmill work.

17-year vet Kobe, who played 88 min in 26 hours, asked to stay in to start 4th when D'Antoni asked if he needed rest. Kobe isn't normal.
— Mike Trudell (@LakersReporter) December 15, 2012
And Kobe (back spasms) played the entire second half for the second consecutive night for the Lakers.
— KEVIN DING (@KevinDing) December 15, 2012
Asked Kobe after the game how he felt having played so much: "I'm not tired. I'm sore ... But I'm in really, really good condition."
— Mike Trudell (@LakersReporter) December 15, 2012
Kobe said he's seen Steve Nash trying his best to "keep it in," the frustration with being out building and building.
— Mike Trudell (@LakersReporter) December 15, 2012
Bryant was encouraged that Nash is finally seeing light at the end of the tunnel, as he plans to practice next week.

Mike D'Antoni hardly sounded thrilled with the win over Wizards
— Mark Medina (@MedinaLakersNBA) December 15, 2012
D'Antoni will take the victory but said Lakers are "not even close to being a good team."
— KEVIN DING (@KevinDing) December 15, 2012
D'Antoni said the team absolutely needed a victory, but the effort was still not good enough for a full 48 minutes. Long ways to go.
