Dear God, Please bless Pjax, a.k.a. the ten-master with good health so that he may lead the Lakers to the promised land... again... Thank You
I think those long road trips are the only time he struggles with his health. They should just allow PJax to rest during the two times of the season the team has a heavy travelling schedule. With all the available communication these days PJax doesn't need to be physically there and one of the assistants can step in and fill the role.
Yeah that's what I was thinking. Couldn't they just give him some days off during the roadtrips and allow Rambis to take over? Given the talent on the team, it shouldn't hurt us too bad. We just need him for the postseason.
I actually think you'll see that. Maybe if we've got a 9 game road trip, you'll see him coach like the first 5 games or something. Can't wait for TJ Simers column if that happens, though. "Phil's too good and too selfish to travel with the team."
That would be good - good practice for Rambis, who I hope will take over the coaching duties one day. Him and/or Shaw. Keep the triangle in LA.
