Practice chatter

Andrew Bynum wanted a full-court scrimmage today to help iron out the Lakers' problems. So did Lakers coach Phil Jackson. It didn't happen because they didn't have enough healthy bodies. Steve Blake was out sick. Matt Barnes is still recovering from right knee surgery and needed a break. Kobe Bryant, Derek Fisher and Pau Gasol needed rest. Devin Ebanks isn't ready to go after suffering a stress fracture in his left leg. Derrick Caracter is on assignment with the Bakersfield Jam of the D-League. Sooooo.... No scrimmage.
