When asked about his jersey retirement ceremony, Kobe Bryant joked he will make Shaq be the presenter.

D'Antoni on Nash & Gasol, who totaled 15 assists tonight: "We have two of the best passers in the league."
— Mike Trudell (@LakersReporter) December 29, 2012
D'Antoni said Antawn Jamison is too good a player to play garbage time. He could return to rotation at some point, but out of it right now.
— Mike Trudell (@LakersReporter) December 29, 2012
So many Jamison questions. He can't defend, and D'Antoni is trying to prioritize defense more. (See Morris starting over Meeks.)

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."
— Mark Medina (@MedinaLakersNBA) December 29, 2012
D'Antoni quipped that Meeks almost had a triple-double in that one play: "Jodie's Jodie, and he's going to play as hard as he can play."
— Mike Trudell (@LakersReporter) December 29, 2012
Lakers constantly talked about "energy" as reason for win against Portland
— Mark Medina (@MedinaLakersNBA) December 29, 2012
