Magic Johnson's view that the Lakers are one loss from needing a stick of dynamite ('Dr. Buss...is going to have to blow up this team.') didn't sit well with coach Phil Jackson, who also is one loss from being a former NBA coach. 'I thought it was unnecessary at this time,' said Jackson before Game 4 of the Western Conference semifinals. 'I'm not surprised. Magic always talks openly.' Jackson said he doubted Johnson's opinion that the Lakers will need to trade one of the two big men -- Pau Gasol or Andrew Bynum -- to get faster and more athletic would have any effect on his team: 'There are too many other things going on.'
