Easy there fella, you got your wish. Now Yao is going to school ya.


Bynum Wants Yao in Round 2





by Marcel Mutoni ([email protected])
Typically, NBA players refuse to tell reporters which opponent they’d like to go up against in the postseason. To which the Lakers’ Andrew Bynum says, to hell with all that!
Bynum, currently enjoying a few days off with his teammates prior to the start of Round Two, has a rooting interest in the Rockets/Blazers series. He wants Houston to win, so that he can go mano-e-mano with Yao Ming.
The Press-Enterprise (http://blogs.pe.com/prosports/2009/04/no-doubt-who-bynum-wants-in-ro.html) jotted down Bynum’s wishes for the next round:

Andrew Bynum had just mentioned for the third time how excited he is to face Houston’s Yao Ming in the second round when someone pointed out the Rockets still must win one more game to ensure that clash.
“Yes, but that’s who I’m thinking we’re going to play,” Bynum said, matter-of-factly. “They have two games to win one.”
“It makes me very hungry,” Bynum said. “I can’t wait to go out there against a challenging player like Yao Ming. I know I’m going to play better just because it’s a big guy I’m going to go up against.”
You know, that’s a lot of confidence for a dude who averaged a measly five points and three boards in the previous series (in which, by the way, he didn’t face anyone even remotely as imposing or good as Yao, and could barely get off the bench some games.)
Be careful what you wish for, Andrew, you might just get it.

relax. he didnt call him out. he said hes a challenge for him. he did horrible against the jazz because the shorter guys would just take charges and run around him. im sure a back to the basket post guy would be a better matchup for drew.

[Artest93]

It's not that big of a deal

However, the one thing the rockets have going for them is that the season series went 4-0 to the lakers, and some laker players might be a little overconfident....In the Utah series, Lakers had a couple of big leads and let them get down to something like 6 points in final minutes of the games...Rockets will battle.....Lakers in 6

[xtremesteven33]

Kobe vs Artest will be fun to watch

[DrHouse]

Um he said he's looking forward to the challenge of playing against Yao Ming. Your reading comprehension is horrible.

[BUMP]

Rockets wont win a single game

[IronMexican]

Broussard has the Lakers winning in 5.

[Indazone]

prol said Celtics in 4 too.

[JamStone]

Kobe's no Brandon Roy.

[lefty]

Bynum is Oden's son.

[Tmac&Luther]

im sure a back to the basket post guy would be a better matchup for drew.

Or a better matchup for Yao.... Yao dominates traditional centers that play him straight up.

Regardless if Bynum plays good or bad aginst Yao all we want from Drew is Defense and rebounding not the superstar pressure Yao has on his shoulders.. Artest starting 2 talk trash already thats great didnt went well 4 him the last time he talked bad 2 KB lol Houston is good but Lakers are better and will win this series

[mingus]

any chance that the Rockets had against LA went down the tube when Mutombo got injured IMO ... Luis is physcial , but he'll have the same problem a guy like Kurt Thomas had guarding Gason (or Bynum) and that's just that he's too short ... Phil will definitely expose that with either Bynum or Gasol ...

only way the Rockets can win is if they limit Kobe to 40% shooting or below ... and only a Finals appearence will do that ...

[KSeal]

Bynum is Oden's son.

:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao

Bynum obviously didn't get his sweet foot work from his father.

[Roxsfan]

Bynum is a pussy.

[The_Game]

ironic coming from a rockets fan who has Yao as his team's center

[DAF86]

:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao

Bynum obviously didn't get his sweet foot work from his father.

He did get the fragility though.

[YellowFever]

Is it just me or does Bynum look like a skinny version of that kid that played Fat Albert in the movie about five years back?

Sadly, the nice foot work probably won't mean jack shit in a couple of years thanks to those glass knees of his.

[RsxPiimp]

bynum should stfu. yao would own his ass. bynum barely made an impact against the jazz. i reckon, even luke walton had a better series than him.:toast

[The_Game]

Bynum will be better than Yao in two years.

[ezau]

Yao's the best big man in the West today. Heck, even Duncan gets fits guarding him one on one. I have a bad feeling that Artest will implode once things don't go his team's way. God forbid. Lakers in 6 or 7

[Roxsfan]

Bynum will be better than Yao in two years.

:lmao

[RsxPiimp]

Bynum will be a far better defensive presence than Yao. But offensively, Bynum wont be as fluid as Yao. At leats not for the next two years.

Bynum sux on defense and offense. have you met his half brother Oden?

[BUMP]

No way in HELL this isn't a sweep for the Lakers. The Houston Rockets have won their championship, getting out of the first round, now its time for vacation guys you had a nice season.

I hope dallas smacks your fake ass team back to reality. Denver sux. Any team can look good against the fucking hornies. Fuck denver and go Dallas.



edit, if you are a true mavs fan---I hope denver fucks you up:toast



man this board is fucked up.:lmao

[BUMP]

But for punishment you have to be a Nugget Fan for 24 hours.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Just sounds like Bynum is looking forward to the challenge of guarding Yao...I hope the kid plays better than he did in Round 1, that's for sure

Since when does Bynum look skinny?

He's a chubby bastard who doesn't care about basketball.

[KSeal]

That's not nice or true, jerk :p:

[UltimA]

Bynum will be better than Yao in two years.I pretty much agree, although Bynum keeps getting hurt.

[sook]

:lol

[nkdlunch]

:lmao

[Indazone]

Chuck Hayes who is 6'6" by the way will hold Bynum to under 10 pts. lol
