He was obviously kidding about that. What should he have said, "Yeah, stupid ass Fisher fouled that piece of shit?"

"FADE TRAIN" UPDATE:
MATCHUP DECISIONS
Jackson has increasingly been playing Lamar Odom at guard and Bryant at small forward, which could help the Lakers' offense because Kevin Garnett would be occupied farther from the paint while guarding Odom.
But even against that alignment in the Lakers' Nov. 23 loss in Boston, Garnett basically played a one-man zone with an eye on Bryant because Odom just floated on the perimeter.
Odom has since improved in moving without the ball, but he said it will be daunting for him at the other end against Garnett.
"You've got to double-team him," Odom said of Garnett. "He's awesome."
The Lakers likely will start out with Vladimir Radmanovic on Paul Pierce — with Luke Walton, Trevor Ariza and Odom as other options. But if the Lakers want to give Sasha Vujacic extensively playing time once again with the idea that Vujacic can hound Boston sharpshooter Ray Allen the way that he did San Antonio's Manu Ginobili last round, then Bryant will slide to small forward a lot and match up with Pierce.
If it's Pierce, Lakers assistant coach Tex Winter said Bryant has to "stay attached, which is hard for Kobe to do." But Winter also said: "You don't want to put Kobe on Allen. Allen has always been very effective against Kobe. Kobe just won't pay enough attention to him."
