    Amazing that the Lakers got Ariza for Cook and Maurice Evans.

    he always stays on the bench and has no time to play in the court,it's playoff now,that's the reason i think he cannot play WELL

    Cook is just too weak to guard Pao Gasol, and his performaces were also far from passive last night. I think James White would even do a better job on Gasol even though he plays SF as his profession.

    Let's not blame Cook. Let's blame the decision to play him in the role we are playing him. I don't know if he normally plays like he did yesterday, but he reminded me of the Luther Head of big men

    There are better alternatives:
    Artest, Scola at the 4 5
    Landry, Scola at the 4 5
    Artest, Landry at the 4 5
    Artest, Hayes at the 4 5
    Landry, Hayes at the 4 5
    Scola, Hayes at the 4 5
    Whoever, Dorsey at the 4 5

    If Hayes could stay out of foul trouble, our best combo is Scola/Hayes at the 4 and 5. If Hayes is in foul trouble, then it should be Scola/Dorsey. If Scola and Hayes are in foul trouble, then it should be Lanrdry/Dorsey.

    Like I said, Cook is trash and I wish we had another backup C from free agency.....heck, I would take Othella back for some inside muscle!

    And the sky is blue... Tell me something I didn't know. BTW Cook isn't 7'0, he's 6'9.

    I am suprised. He really looked useless. He is really a pretty good shooter from deep so I am suprised he went 0-5. He really played like TRASH.

    On the defensive end he can't even try to play defense. I tought he is strong. And if he can't make open shots, sorry. Good bye Brian.

    I'm not sure why everyone's banging on him. He's not a good player at this point, everyone knows it. But at this point, we really don't have many good options left. Of course Cook's going to get massacred - he's defending one of the best PF/Centers in the league and he's a scrub. He did as well as could be expected.
    Besides, thanks to him, we have Lowry, and I'm sure everyone's happy with that.
