Kobe Bryant plans to talk with Mike D'Antoni on Saturday about Pau Gasol's struggles in the Lakers' offense.
Gasol's 2-point, 4-rebound performance against the Clippers on Friday had everyone in L.A. talking about Gasol's seemingly lost role in D'Antoni's offense. For his part, Gasol again reiterated he doesn't want to be traded, but even Kobe was openly critical of how D'Antoni is using the Spaniard. Given how stubborn D'Antoni can be when it comes to his system, this situation could blow up very soon.

Jack being out really hurts Golden State if its for a prolonged period



Jarrett Jack hurt his elbow while lifting weights Thursday and is unsure if he'll be able to play Saturday.
Jack apparently missed practice Friday with the ailment, making him questionable at best for Saturday's game against the Clippers. With high percentages and plenty of assists, Jack has become a must-own player this season. Owners will want to check back after shootaround Saturday, but we're guessing he'll be a game-time call.
