Lakers' Parker on Short Leash
Ross Siler of the LOS ANGELES DAILY NEWS writes, "The only player to start all 82 regular-season games for the Lakers - not to mention all six first-round playoff games so far - was guard Smush Parker, whose entire NBA career before he came to Los Angeles totaled only 82 games. Parker is expected to stay in the starting lineup for Game 7 of the Lakers' series with Phoenix, but his recent slump has alarmed coach Phil Jackson."
