After a three-point game at halftime turned into a 118-98 loss to the Indiana Pacers on Tuesday, Los Angeles Lakers big man Pau Gasol went off during his postgame comments, blaming the team’s woes on a lack of discipline.

Gasol indirectly challenged coach Mike D’Antoni to take control of his team that the 33-year old believes is being sabotaged by selfish play.

“That’s why you have to be disciplined and implement discipline, that’s how you kind of make that better or make that not a factor,” Gasol said when asked about the Lakers’ collection of players, himself included, on expiring deals.”I don’t think there’s a lot of discipline right now.”
