<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">After seeing Kwame Brown, Chris Mihm, Brian Cook and Odom repeatedly fail to plug the lane and stop Celtics such as Pierce (39 points) from reaching the rim, Jackson resorted to rookie power forward Ronny Turiaf down the stretch. Turiaf missed a couple of critical box-outs that Jackson ascribed to fatigue but made a decent overall showing in 14:17 of action. Two of the Lakers whom Bryant is most fond of - Sasha Vujacic and Turiaf - infused the team with energy to start the fourth when Bryant rested. Jackson related how Bryant told Turiaf that he understands the triangle offense better than other players who've had six months in it.</div> Source How disturbing is that? Ronny Turiaf is already ahead in understanding the Triangle offense. Kwame Brown should invest in a pair of tweezers because he's going to be picking splinters our his rear end the rest of the season.

Ronny Turiaf is already ahead in understanding the Triangle offense. </div> Just thinking of Ronny and his crazy celebrations makes me laugh. Kwame is the main guy who needs some training. We should send him back to high school or something. When I look at Kwame play, I wonder why I'm not in the NBA. If he can make it, anybody can make it. I can make lay-ups, which is already more than Kwame can do. If I was 6-11, I would grab more than five boards a game.

You can cleary see the difference between those that do and those that don't. A guy who uses his brain would go; "hmm, there is too many people on the strongside, why don't I go over to the weakside and set a pick for someone or something", while the player who doesn't think would probably realise the bad spacing, but not do anything about it.
kwame is just plain stupid. does anyone think that his problem is just because he doesnt understand the plays? if he works hard in the off season with KAJ and keeps studying the playbook, i think he will get better. not like an all star, but just a valueable player on the floor. its kind of sad as well because throughout the season with KAJ teaching them, ive seen mihm improve, bynum improve, the only person i havent seen improve is kwame.
The best thing to do now is move on and stop trying to wait for Kwame to "come around". I bet LA would play better if they do so.
