:lmao:depressed

[tlongII]

Rookie mistake. :lol

[Scola]

"I slept in," Bynum said before the Lakers played the Raptors on Sunday. "I put my bags outside and then I went to sleep."
----
"His bags made it to Toronto, but he didn't," Lakers coach Phil Jackson quipped.

:lmao:lmao:lmao

[Chieflion]

Don't they have morning calls on road trips? They are staying in a hotel or some sort, right?

[resistanze]

[djohn2oo8]

I guess he just wasn't that important

Seriously, you should be able to spot a clueless 7 footer missing.

Phil Jackson probably thinks Bynum deserves some punishment for sleeping in or being late and just leave without him.

[rhyputa]

I guess all the lakers knew but they just wanted it to happen.

[blkroadrunners]

Phil Jackson probably thinks Bynum deserves some punishment for sleeping in or being late and just leave without him.

At first I thought the fine was pretty low for an NBA player in general, but after paying $300 for a commercial flight and being pretty uncomfortable there especially for a 7'0" er, it's probably all worth it.

[JamStone]

Does he have any friends on the team?

[EricB]

How the F does a team leave without saying "Uh, wheres Andrew?"


Seriously?

Or did Phil just say F him leave him?

Either way, pretty F'ed up but hey, your a multi millionaire, set the damn alarm on your phone, computer, clock, set up a wake up call, somethin.

[mystargtr34]

I heard the fine was $250 :lol?

WTF?

[j.dizzle]

Maybe Bynum should miss more flights since he beasted on Bosh today..Too bad fisher lets every guard abuse the shit out of him.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

In Phil Jackson's book he talks about a strict policy he has where everyone on the team is supposed to be at the bus by 10:00 on road trips and the bus leaves at 10:05 no exceptions. That's why Bynum was missing. Phil's policy is that they don't wait around for players. If I'm not mistaken a similar thing happened with Kobe in 2004 and it turned out Phil Jackson's watch was fast and they wound up leaving early.

Because if Sasha admitted that he left him home, he would have been very embarrassed

[21_Blessings]

Does he have any friends

Josh Powell and everybody on his Xbox Live friends list.

[j.dizzle]

Bynums best friend is his mom.

Andrew will never make that mistake again.

[Allanon]

Bynum with 21 points on 60% shooting, 9 rebounds and 2 blocks.

Lakers should pay that $250 fine and extra flight :lol

Can't blame this one on Bynum though... he did his job.

[Iceman101]

Lakaluva's best friend is his mom.

fixed

[HarlemHeat37]

You mean you can't blame it on Bynum's offense..

Bosh and Bargs both had good games..

Bynum owned Bosh pretty good, Bosh had one of his worst games this month.

Bargs was guarded by Pau.

Must have heard those ridiculous trade rumors.

[j.dizzle]

Lately Pau has been screwin up..I dont know if hes still nursing his hamstrings or whatever but his D has been pretty crappy..He looked much better last year..Hopefully he's taken it a lil easy right now cuz he doesnt seem right..Its alright if he lets some big ass center score on him easily but lately its been pussies like bargnani scoring at will..he also did a horrible job on Lee the other night but atleast he manned up at the end of that game.

Pau has had some forgettable games recently. He'l get it together though.

Yea hopefully cuz they cant be throwin away games like this even if they arent 100% healthy..Atleast we all know they can play a lot better.

[Indazone]

Bynum should be fined for being on the All-Star Ballot.

[lefty]

You idiots


Bynum didn't oversleep


The Lakers didn't wake him up on purpose


It's like Home Alone, but only on purpose

[duhoh]

well $250 is like a drop in the bucket

Clearly you did not watch the game.

[Mr.Robinson]

I think he'd rather play in the East.
