The Tweets
You think losing tonight was bad? What if the Lakers had dropped both last night and tonight trying to spread the minutes out.

Pretty sure the Lakers could lose to five cardboard cutouts of themselves tonight.

D'Antoni: "We ran out of gas ... we missed shots ... a lot of it was caused by 50-50 balls. They had more energy, more legs."
— Mike Trudell (@LakersReporter) March 19, 2013
D'Antoni had said pregame that he had three days for guys to rest after this game, so he thought he could play 7-man rotation back-to-back.

Chiding from @mcten & I plus a box score prompted Metta World Peace to admit this about loss to Suns: "Maybe it was a little fatigue."

Dwight Howard: "It's disappointing that we lost here. We wanted to win for Steve."
— Dave McMenamin (@mcten) March 19, 2013
The basic summary from Nash: we were tired. Some NBA nights are that simple. He said team needs the 3 off days, to get Kobe/Gasol back.

Steve Nash referred to Steve Blake as "Stevie Blake" after the game. Very hockey sounding. Hopefully Blake will return the favor.
— Dave McMenamin (@mcten) March 19, 2013
D'Antoni: "We have to work Pau back in if he can go." His hope is Gasol can return, but needs to see how foot feels all week.

Vino means wine, which gets better as it ages, like Kobe!
