    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>The Lakers allowed Orlando a franchise-high 44 first-quarter points. Their defense was so poor at times against a Magic team running sets similar to Phoenix's pick-and-roll actions that Jackson was furious in the first half with Vladimir Radmanovic and in the second half with Jordan Farmar. Radmanovic (on Turkoglu and Brian Cook) and Farmar (on Keith Bogans) sagged off shooters to allow 3-point baskets.

    The Lakers led, 100-90 before an 8-0 Orlando run. The last six points of that came on a three-point play by Keyon Dooling against Farmar and then Bogans' 3-point shot over Farmar.

    After both plays Jackson lit into Farmar, who had three points on 1-of-5 shooting and no assists in 15 minutes. After the second scolding Fisher came over to console Farmar, who continued to glare back at Jackson after the coach had walked away.</div>

    I remember the exact play and PJax yelling at Farmar after his late rotation on Bogans. I think PJax got extra heated because Farmar was trying to make excuse on why he left Bogans open and Phil wasn't having any of it.

    Farmar is very competitive, but he's not a trouble maker and is responsive to his coaches. He's not another Smush Parker or Brian Cook knucklehead.
