The Los Angeles Lakers opened up their season on Tuesday night against the Houston Rockets, and barely pulled off a victory. The Lakers won 112-110, thanks to the great heroics of Steve Blake and Shannon Brown. However, one veteran guard did not see any playing time on Tuesday. Sasha Vujacic was never subbed into the game, and saw the whole game from the bench. Coach Phil Jackson said it was difficult to play all the guards on the team, so he had to leave Vujacic out. If Brown and Blake continue to play well and impress Coach Phil Jackson, then Vujacic will not be seeing a lot of playing for the Lakers this season.
