Phil Jackson's take on why the Lakers are struggling.

Quote:
"Dwight (Howard) just doesn't get any touches. They've basically eliminated his assets," the 11-time NBA champion coach said. "They just don't put the ball in the post. They'll use a screen-roll to get the guy in the post. But there's no consistent plan to do it."

"You want the ball 10 feet away from the basket. Throw it into the post, make them double-team and have everybody around to make shots," said Jackson. "That's what [Shaquille O'Neal] could do. That's where you have the Robert Horrys, the Derek Fishers and the Rick Foxes sitting out there getting wide-open jumpers."
