The columnist from the "Los Angeles Times" published a commentary: Bickerstaff has shown us the correct way to utilize Kobe + Gasol + Nash. If Hill were replaced with Howard, I dare not imagine how terrifying the Lakers could have been this season. This is not a disrespect to Jack, as my saying this exactly proves that in my eyes, he's as outstanding as Kobe.

Howard wasn't playing pick-and-roll, instead posting up low, not helping in defense but rather staying under the basket;
