EL SEGUNDO, Calif. - Mike D'Antoni took over the reins of the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday with a clear mandate but a muddled timetable.
The new Lakers coach knows he must win - now.
"This is not a project," D'Antoni said Thursday, acknowledging expectations of a Lakers' championship run. "We have a window, and we'll try to get through it."
However, D'Antoni is not physically sound enough to coach his new team's first game, and his offensive floor leader, Steve Nash, isn't healthy enough to take the court.
At his introductory news conference Thursday at the Lakers training facility, D'Antoni hobbled on a single crutch to a table with a microphone on it, sat and told a huge news media gathering that he would probably skip today's Lakers home game against the Phoenix Suns, his old team.
D'Antoni, still recovering from knee replacement surgery and by his own admission "heavily medicated," said he more than likely will make his debut on the Lakers bench in a home game Sunday against the Houston Rockets.
Nash, who ran D'Antoni's up-tempo offense to near-perfection in Phoenix but seemed lost in fired coach Mike Brown's version of the Princeton offense, is licking his chops to get well enough to run D'Antoni's system for the Lakers. But Nash still is recovering from a small break in his left leg. His return date is uncertain.
D'Antoni joked he might wait until Nash suits up before he coaches a game.
"I've tried coaching without Nash, and that didn't work out too well," he said.
D'Antoni, hired over the phone late Sunday night, finally held a practice with his new team Thursday and finally answered questions from the gang of news media that now will cover him.
Signed to a three-year, $12 million contract to the surprise and consternation of many Lakers fans who had initially been led by news media reports to believe the job was Phil Jackson's if he wanted it, D'Antoni called himself lucky, prepared, appreciative and "rarin' to go."
He called the Lakers talent "off the charts," called center Dwight Howard "unstoppable" and Kobe Bryant "the most competitive guy I've ever been around."
"I'm genuinely excited," Bryant said, "and Steve is, and Dwight is and Pau is. Everybody else kind of falls in line."
And, D'Antoni said, he is fully aware of the hot seat he just inherited, what with Lakers fans, who reveled in five NBA titles won during the two L.A. tenures of Jackson, chanting "We Want Phil" at home games after a 1-4 start got Brown fired.
"I feel great about the possibilities, and I'll do everything in my power to make it a good decision," D'Antoni said.
"I can understand all the stuff that went on. Phil was a great coach. He is a great coach. He'll always be a great coach."

Red Wings GM Ken Holland looks to get busy targeting free agents, now that the Pavel Datsyuk contract is a done deal. (Detroit News/David Guralnick)
Detroit � The Red Wings just gave star center Pavel Datsyuk more than 20 million reasons to stick around a while longer.
Now it�s imperative they give him at least one or two more.
With the NHL draft next weekend and the start of free-agency looming July 5, just days after a Stanley Cup parade in Chicago or Boston, there will be flurry of activity around the league. But for all the emphasis on a draft-and-develop mandate in Detroit, general manager Ken Holland needs to be proactive if the Wings are going to rejoin the league�s elite teams.
They can�t afford to mortgage their future, and precious few teams in the NHL are willing to anymore. But the Wings can�t afford to simply stand pat, either, as they largely have the past couple years, missing out on their top free-agent targets and then staying strangely quiet at the trade deadline.
Now, though, with Valtteri Filppula likely headed elsewhere as an unrestricted free agent � the Wings don�t seem willing to pay him $5-million plus annually on a long-term deal � Holland must target another top-six forward to give Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg some much-needed help up front.
Lots of options
Florida�s Stephen Weiss, who could get $6 million annually on a four-year deal assuming he�s healthy, figures to be among the primary targets. And there should be a few other intriguing (and expensive?) options out there, including Chicago�s Bryan Bickell and Boston�s Nathan Horton. More names will emerge as salary cap-strapped teams buy out some contracts beginning 48 hours after the playoffs end.
Another reliable defenseman has to be on the Wings� offseason wish list, and if there�s a chance to land one that�d be an upgrade in Detroit�s top four, Holland absolutely should pursue it. Because as he keeps reminding us all, �The free agent market every year is going to get a little thinner and a little thinner. Teams are signing their best players. Nobody is letting those types of assets hit the market.�
That�s why it�s going to take more than Holland�s usual tire kicking to get what he really wants. Or more pointedly, what head coach Mike Babcock wants, since most of the last two summer�s free-agent dollars were scratched in the playoffs this spring.
It�s going to take some wheeling and dealing at the draft, perhaps, buying the negotiating rights to one of the Wings� targeted free agents. Or perhaps a trade involving some of that young talent that debuted in Detroit after the lockout and helped AHL affiliate Grand Rapids win the Calder Cup. I wouldn�t part with Danny DeKeyser, but Brendan Smith and Jakub Kindl and any of those young forwards should be shopped.
As even Holland himself admits, �We don't have a guy coming through the system that I'm going to say to you is a superstar.� And as Babcock noted after the season, �The guys we�ve got coming can't all play here. But you have assets, so you make the decisions based on what's best for you.�
Looking outside
The Wings� management team began last season talking hopefully � even confidently � about their depth up front. But that was before injuries � and age � started eating away at it. Mikael Samuelsson played all of five regular-season games. Todd Bertuzzi played seven. Darren Helm played 12 minutes all season. They can�t honestly count on any of those three producing next season, either.
But with some of the AHLers out of options, and some of them having proved they�re NHL-ready, there�s a numbers crunch that�ll force Holland�s hand. Gustav Nyquist and Joakim Anderson are lineup regulars now, and they�ll be among a handful of restricted free agents that get re-signed this summer. Tomas Tatar, who should�ve been a part of the playoff push this spring, has to be in Detroit next season as well.
That gives the Wings 14 forwards even without the trio of pending unrestricted free agents: Filppula, Daniel Cleary and Damien Brunner, the latter of whom the Wings still hope to re-sign. And that should give Holland all the nudging he needs to utilize one or both of his compliance buyouts, shedding Samuelsson�s $3 million cap hit and perhaps defenseman Carlo Colaiacovo�s $2.5 million as well.
Money saved needs to be money spent this summer, however.
The Wings want to keep building from within, and understandably so. But a little outside help needs to be more than considered, or welcomed. It has to be pursued.

FIVE MINUTES: South Africa
A round-up of the weekend's news from South Africa.
South Africa's deputy Reserve Bank governor has told an investor seminar that the country's growth forecasts will likely need to be revisited. "Growth forecasts will most likely need to be revisited," Daniel Mminele told the JP Morgan seminar in Tokyo, attributing the move to the impact of widespread labour unrest in the country. Mminele said that growth was expected to average 2.1% for the 2008-12 period, significantly lower than the 4.8% that South Africa averaged over the previous five years. "As for the recent actions by rating agencies, these were obviously unfortunate and disappointing developments," Mminele said. "It has to be acknowledged, however, that some of the challenges they are pointing out ... are known to us and are in fact valid."
South Africa's spending plans are "realistic and achievable", says the Treasury in response to ratings agency Standard & Poor after it dropped the country's credit rating by one notch to BBB with a negative outlook. S&P said it expected South Africa's "underlying social tensions to increase government spending pressure and reduce its fiscal flexibility" and that the negative outlook "reflects our view that the medium-term political, economic and fiscal ramifications of SA's social tensions could deteriorate beyond our current expectations". But Treasury said the country's "young democracy has seen several elections within the ruling party and government. None of these have impacted policy and budgeting in the manner that S&P suggests", it said in a statement.
More than 70 miners have been arrested after a sit-in at a police station saw police fired stun grenades and rubber bullets at protestors who refused to move. Over 600 miners, from the nearby Gold Fields mine, arrived at Westonaria police station to demand the release of 13 miners who had been arrested earlier. When they refused to disperse, police fired rubber bullets and stun grenades that saw protestors break windows and damage property in response. Police arrested 72 miners. In a separate incident, police fired tear gas and rubber bullets at protesters hurling petrol bombs after a march on Anglo American Platinum mine in Rustenburg turned violent late on Friday.
Two people were killed when a charter boat capsized off the coast of Hout Bay near Cape Town. One was a British tourist, Peter Phillip Hyett, aged 64, and the other was a member of the crew, John Roberts, whose body was found 21 metres below the surface on Sunday morning. The twin-hulled catamaran, Miroshga, capsized near Duiker Island, three kilometres from the Hout Bay harbour. The National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) said about 34 people were rescued and taken to its sea rescue station before being taken to hospitals in the area. The SA Maritime Safety Authority (SAMSA) has deployed a tugboat to recover the charter boat and begin an investigation into the cause of the accident.
South Africa's mineral resources minister has warned government that repeated calls for the nationalisation of mines are impacting on investor confidence in the country. City Press reports that Susan Shabangu has been on a mission around the world to try and restore faith in the embattled sector following the Marikana massacre and on-going violent unrest. She told the newspaper investors were "jittery" over the prospect of nationalisation. "We are confident that when we come out of Mangaung we will be able to put this matter aside and it will bring and instil much more investor confidence," she said. She said violent strikes were of concern as they weren't a "once off" but are "spiralling in the mining industry."
Tourism grew by 10.5% in the first six months of this year, says South Africa's tourism minister. Marthinus van Schalkwyk said despite the global recession, marketing efforts had paid off, as had "a carefully formulated tourism growth strategy". Van Schalkwyk said good returns were being realised in markets that identified as sources of strong tourism potential for South Africa. These included China, India and Brazil. A total of 60,272 Chinese visitors came to South Africa in the first half of 2012, which represented a massive 68.4% increase. South Africa recorded 21.1% growth in arrivals from India for the first six months of this year, and a phenomenal 68.4% growth in arrivals from Brazil.
Parliament is preparing to investigate the Public Protector after high-level ANC politicians accused her of being biased against the party. The Sunday Times reported that Blade Nzimande and chief whip Mathole Motshekga were among the politicians furious over a series of rulings that embarrassed government. Madonsela's deputy, Mamiki Shai, claims she changed findings on a report into the DA-led Midvaal Municipality, and withheld the release of the report until after last year's municipal elections. Mandonsela denies the claims, saying the accusation was "baseless and misleading". She had, in fact, ensured a more thorough investigation had been undertaken. Sapa reports Madonsela spoke to Parliament in July, asking it to investigate, as anonymous letters were destabilising her office.
A warrant of arrest for a fourth man involved in alleged corruption in the building of the Mbombela stadium has been issued. African Eye News Service reports that a warrant has been issued against controversial former Mbombela municipal manager Jacob Dladla. Three other men – soccer boss Bobby Motaung, Herbert Theledi and Chris Grib – were arrested in August and are out on bail. Dladla was municipal manager when Lefika Emerging Equity, Motaung's company, won the consultants contract for the building of the R1.2 billion stadium. All four are expected to appear in the Nelspruit magistrate's court on Monday. DM

Lions coach Jim Schwartz, here walking the field in the second quarter, has seen his team continue to sputter at the start of games. (Daniel Mears/Detroit News)
First down
We've seen this too many times this season. The Lions' offense stumbles and bumbles out of the gate, can't get anything going, and then, as if a switch is thrown, scores three touchdowns on drives of less than three minutes.
Why does it have to be like that?
"Teams always switch up what they do," receiver Calvin Johnson said. "They may do one thing for a few weeks but by the time they play us, they play something totally different. We have to adjust quicker."
On this day, it was more about what Lions didn't do than what the Vikings were doing to them. The Lions started the game with the three-tackle package, clearly with the intent of throwing out of it more often than they had previously.
But if you are throwing out of a three-tackle formation, you are taking a receiver out of the mix. So many times in the first half, particularly on third-down plays, quarterback Matthew Stafford had no open receivers to throw to.
He was sacked twice because of it. His interception, by linebacker Chad Greenway, was a hurried, sidearm throw. Often the Lions receivers appeared to be running wrong routes because two of them would be bunched up, easily covered by one defender.
"They are physical down the field," Stafford said. "Antoine Winfield does a great job in the slot trying to re-route guys, and their pass rush was good."
Coach Jim Schwartz said the onus was on the receivers to work harder to get open and not be so easily re-routed.
"They weren't bunched by design," he said. "We were getting jammed out of our routes and it made it hard to get open. They were playing more man coverage underneath and we couldn't get open. We made some adjustments and starting getting something going in the second half."
But, as the Lions are finding out loss after loss, one productive half of football isn't going to beat good football teams.
Second down
The worst and most damaging series of the game for the Lions came early in the fourth quarter following a rare three-and-out by the Vikings. They were down by seven and had the ball at their own 48.
Granted, a holding call on left tackle Jeff Backus on first down put them in a hole. But the next two plays were botched passes to running back Mikel Leshoure.
Leshoure dropped the first down pass, which would have gained at least 10 yards and put the Lions back into a manageable down and distance. The second down play was a screen that never materialized because Leshoure didn't get clear of the linemen.
Here's the question. Why was Leshoure in the game for those plays? The Lions have had success using Joique Bell in similar late-game situations because of his ability to both get open in the passing game and get extra yards after the catch.
In the game, Leshoure had one catch for five yards. Bell had seven catches for 44 yards.
That was a mistake by the Lions' offensive coaches there.
Third down
The Lions will probably be auditioning punters this week.
Nick Harris isn't getting the kind of distance on his punts the Lions need to create some positive field position. He averaged 38 yards on six punts Sunday, with an average net of 37 yards. He came into the game ranked 30th in punting average and 29th in net.
"We lost the field position battle, too," Stafford said.
The Vikings punter, Chris Kluwe, averaged 48.6 yards. His net was just 35 yards, but that was due to a 31-yard punt return by Stefan Logan.
The Lions started 11 of 13 drives at or inside the 20. They started inside the 10 twice. The Vikings started inside their 20 once, after a kickoff. They started drives beyond their 40 three times.
Fourth down
Schwartz was in no mood to discuss his strategy after the loss, but his decision to pooch kick in the third quarter after the Lions had scored to cut the lead to 16-10 was curious.
The Lions kick coverage was excellent in the first half, but Marcus Sherels ran the second half kickoff 41 yards. Maybe that spooked Schwartz.
But after Brandon Pettigrew's 16-yard touchdown catch, Jason Hanson popped a kick into the second row of the Vikings return setup. Defensive tackle Christian Ballard caught the ball and actually fumbled it.
The bouncing ball hit linebacker Ashlee Palmer in the chest, but he couldn't secure it. Ballard wound up recovering it at the Vikings' 38.
Had the Lions recovered, the decision to pooch it would be applauded. But the Vikings took the ball right down the field and scored, building a 24-10 lead.
All things considered, the risk-reward ratio wasn't in the Lions' favor with a pooch kick.

Aaron McClendon, right, and his Westland John Glenn team prepared for the rigors of league play by taking part in the Muskegon Hall of Fame Classic Dec. 27-28. (Ricardo Thomas/Detroit News)
Westland -- Dan Young is in his seventh season as head coach at Westland John Glenn and last month was the first time he took his team out of the Metro area to play in a holiday tournament. The experience was so rewarding Young wished he had done it before.
Glenn competed in the Muskegon Hall of Fame Classic on Dec. 27 and 28 and defeated two good teams, Muskegon and Grand Haven. Glenn (6-1) has won six straight and Young said those two games helped his team prepare for the Kensington Lakes Activities Association season.
"Muskegon has a great tradition and is very athletic," Young said. "Grand Haven plays a more deliberate style, much like the teams in our league. These games were great for us."
Holiday tournaments have become a tradition. Many teams take advantage of playing in a tournament-like atmosphere against teams they're unfamiliar with and that offer a different challenge.
For teams like Glenn and others, such as Detroit Loyola and Warren DeLaSalle, that traveled to the state's west side, it gave them a chance to spend a couple of days together, sharing meals and bus rides that help create bonds and further relationships. Coaches often talk of team chemistry. This is one way to enhance it.
A major reason why teams don't participate in holiday tournaments is the 20-game limitation for regular-season games imposed on teams by the Michigan High School Athletic Association. Adding two games would offer more teams this opportunity.
Take the KLAA, for example. The 24 teams are locked into a 16-game schedule (which includes the KLAA postseason tournament), leaving just four for coaches to schedule outside of the league.
Teams in the Detroit Public School League have similar restrictions. Both leagues sponsor postseason tournaments, limiting the nonleague schedule. Detroit Pershing coach Wydell Henry said his team was offered to play in four holiday tournaments. His schedule allowed for just two games.
Associations in many other states allow for more regular-season games to be played. In Oregon, teams can play 24 during the regular season. Wyoming has a 20-game limit but allows two additional for in-season tournaments. Missouri limits teams to 20 games plus one tournament.
Rising star
In September 2011 Paris Bass was a 6-foot-3 junior. Less than three months later, Birmingham Seaholm coach Jose Andrades didn't recognize Bass.
"He grew three inches almost overnight," Andrades said. "I asked him, 'What happened?' He immediately became a matchup problem."
Bass is now 6-7 but remains a perimeter player. He's averaging 20 points and 13.7 rebounds and has led Seaholm to a 6-0 start. Bass is shooting 50 percent from the field but uncharacteristically is shooting just 40 percent from the free-throw line.
Andrades said Bass likely will sign with a junior college in April.
Tall company
What Detroit Osborn lacks in experience it makes up for in height. Topping the list is 6-8 senior Rashawn Walker . Walker is averaging 21 points and 13 rebounds.
"He plays like a big man," coach Lonell Williams said. "He weighs 245 pounds. He powers up and comes at you with his dunks."
Also in the starting lineup is 6-9 sophomore Alex Burney . Williams said Burney is still growing and Burney's father is 7 feet.
Joining these two are three 6-5 players: seniors Ronald Brewster and Rashawn Ware , and sophomore Christian Little .
Osborn is 4-2 and in two years could be one of the top teams in the PSL East Division. Sophomore point guard Nikeem Merchant was named team MVP last season.
Trending up
Gibraltar Carlson was 18-7 last season and won its first regional game, and just the fourth district title in the school's 50-year history.
This is coach Rob Raymond 's ninth season coaching in the program, second as the varsity head coach. Carlson is 6-1 this season and is again one of the top programs in the Downriver area.
On Tuesday Carlson hosts Taylor Truman, one of the powers in the Downriver League and the favorite to win the title this season.
Three starters return from last season, led by 5-5 senior Daton Aaron . Aaron is averaging 13 points and five assists and all of Carlson's sets go through Aaron.
"His numbers are down a bit from last year," Raymond said. "But he's controlling the game better now. We have a kid averaging 16 points ( Larnell Tidwell ) and he's getting his points because of what Aaron is creating."
Top five games this week
Taylor Truman (3-1) at Gibraltar Carlson (6-1), Tuesday, 7: Truman, the favorite to win the Downriver League, will be tested on the road against a team that's playing with confidence. A Carlson victory would throw the league race up for grabs.
Zeeland East (7-0) at East Kentwood (6-0), Tuesday, 7: Wins over Grand Rapids Christian and Muskegon has East Kentwood in the hunt for the O-K Red Division title. East has quality wins, too, but this would top the list.
Southfield (8-0) at Troy (4-1), Thursday, 7: Troy already has upset Clarkston in the OAA Red Division. Now it has a chance to pull off another upset over a team most thought, before the season, would not be a factor in the division race.
Detroit Douglass (3-3) at Detroit Pershing (6-0), Friday, 4: This PSL East Division showdown pits a junior-laden Douglass team against the state's top-ranked team. Douglass' starters are good enough to play with any team. Depth has been a problem.
Holt (6-1) at Lansing Sexton (4-1), Friday, 7: At 3-0, Holt is alone in first place in the CAC Blue Division, but its hold on first is in jeopardy here. Sexton is the two-time defending Class B champion and its only loss this season was to Romulus.
Top five games last two weeks
Detroit Pershing 57, Detroit Community 55: Pershing trailed by seven with two minutes to play before coming back in the PSL Holiday Hoops Classic at Detroit Renaissance. Martez Walker led top-ranked Pershing (6-0) with 21 points and Kahlil Felder added 16 points.

Detroit Renaissance 57, Inkster 55: Clark Bishop scored 35 for Renaissance (2-6) in the PSL Hoops Classic. Donnell Jarmon led Inkster (5-1) with 18 points.
Birmingham Seaholm 61, Warren Mott 60: Brandon Yousif's layup in the half court with 8.7 seconds left gave Seaholm a 61-60 lead. Paris Bass had 26 points and 16 rebounds for Seaholm (6-0). Blake Jackson had 19 points for Mott (4-1). Bass' 3-pointer gave Seaholm a 30-29 lead at halftime.
Saginaw Arthur Hill 75, Saginaw 54: With Michigan State coach Tom Izzo in the crowd Arthur Hill (7-0) hosted rival Saginaw (7-1) and Jalen Adams led Arthur Hill with 20 points and 13 rebounds. Saginaw, the defending Class A champion, had won 17 straight. Arthur Hill led 45-39 after three quarters.

There are some that say when the nationalists were fleeing China they took the nation's best engineers and chefs with them to Taiwan. Whether or not that is the truth or just folklore is up in the air, but the reality is that Taiwan has both excellent engineering and world class chefs. The once sleepy island has boomed into a global power, exporting high tech goods and making a name for itself in international business.
What to do
Be prepared to feel confined when you travel to Taiwan. The small island holds a sea of humanity, making it one of the most densely populated places on this planet. With the people and the endless tall buildings comes a surprisingly pretty nature that is certainly worth exploring. This probably isn't the first place you have read this nor will it be the last, but no trip to Taiwan is complete without a visit to the National Museum. It is a must see for anyone with an inkling of curiosity about Chinese history.
Getting there
Unless you want to take a boat to Taiwan (not recommended), the best way to get there is to fly. Prices on flights to Taipei vary throughout the year so make sure you search our international flights search engine.
Where to stay
Hotels in Taiwan range from the deluxe to the very reasonable. You can also try your luck with hostels on the island.
Looking for those insider travel tips that you just can't find in traditional travel guides? Check out the travel stories about Taiwan submitted by everyday travelers who have been there. If you still have a question or are looking to chat with people who have lived, worked and studied in Taiwan, head on over to the members forums.
