PJ takes shots at the Machine and Space Cadet


Lakers coach Phil Jackson took some shots at reserves Sasha Vujacic and Vladimir Radmanovic on Friday.

Both players have been asked to provide more minutes because of injuries.

"We just had to come to the conclusion that Sasha's just an emotional player that plays by the seat of his pants, and that's about it. He just doesn't have a brain," Jackson said Friday. "He's just out there whacking away and working really hard. He's not using his head out there at times. We're working with him, hoping that he will."

The coach knocked Radmanovic as well, who is starting, but wasn't Jackson's first choice.

"He really hasn't merited starting, there's no doubt about it," Jackson said. "Now with Luke [Walton] and Lamar [Odom] out for that time period, I really think we're almost forced to use him for those early minutes in the ballgame and hoping he can give us something in the process."
