Lakers have a myriad of issues as the team tries to become familiar with each other and win a game.  One of their issues is the offense as they’ve been running the controversial “Princeton offense” implemented by head coach Mike Brown.  Antawn Jamison hasn’t provided that off the bench spark that he was brought in for and he’s admitted why.  Read more after the jump.

Like pretty much everything Lakers through three games, he has been a disappointment — he is 3-of-8 shooting for 11 points total, 0-of-3 from beyond the arc and he has really not impacted games at all.

We could chalk this up to Jamison being confused in the Princeton offense like everyone else, except he played in Washington for Eddie Jordan — the Lakers assistant coach and former NBA head man brought in to run the offense.

So what gives?

“I know the offense pretty well, but it’s pretty difficult when one or two guys on the court know where to be at,” Jamison said after the Lakers loss to the Clippers Friday.

“We all gotta be patient, it’s not about one individual it’s about all of us collectively,” Jamison said. “I think we all gotta be patient and not try to do things outside of our means, and just let it come to us. But it’s frustrating especially when you’re not winning and you want things to happen a little more quickly.

“I think this stretch, it’s hard to say it’s never benefit us in the long run, because we went through some adversity early just trying to get a feel for what to do at both ends of the floor. As far as myself, I’m not worried, it will come. When it comes hopefully it comes at the right time.”

The Lakers schedule becomes easier for the next few games starting with the Detroit Pistons tonight.
