Bryant: Feud With O'Neal Is Dead After flying back Monday morning, Kobe Bryant pronounced the feud between himself and O'Neal dead, a remarkable development considering that after the Lakers-Heat Christmas game, O'Neal refused to answer a question about Bryant on national television. "I'm not surprised at all," Bryant said. "We've gone through those type of swings in one season. You know what I'm saying? It's nothing." -- Los Angeles Daily News Lakers Look To Bring It Home Changes are underway for Part 2 of the Laker season, some of them major, some of them minor, all in the name of trying to avoid a disintegration similar to last season's unprecedented 2-19 swan dive out of playoff contention. There will be more Andrew Bynum sightings in the final 30 games, more attention (read: pressure) placed on Lamar Odom, and an at least temporary relocation of game-day shoot-arounds from the Laker training facility in El Segundo to Staples Center, where the Lakers have performed more like visitors than hosts in recent weeks. -- Los Angeles Times
