I'm manning up and apologizing to Lakaluva as should 21 Blessings.

[midnightpulp]

Here's the story with this. 21_Blessings along with a host of other Lakers fans had me believing the Bynum hype. And being a Spurs fan, there's nothing I like better than a fundamentally sound post-player, something Bynum definitely is.

I further bought into this farce when Bynum appeared to finally grow a pair (along with a normal, functioning human skeleton that doesn't break when the wind blows) and put in some strong playoff performances.

I even went as far to bet Luva 20 bucks that Bynum would average a double double throughout the playoffs.

He started out strong then, but like Lakaluva knew all along, soon went into bitchmode, putting up games like 0 points and 4 rebounds. What the fuck is that? Why not just dig up the corpse of Kevin Willis and save 12.5 million?

So it looks like I was duped. Thanks 21. Now I'm gonna be contributing to Luva's chasing pussy fund, which means he'll have more money to spend on buckets of fried chicken to lure fat chicks into his conversion van.

So here's my apology, Luva. And Blessings, if you had anything resembling a pair of testicles, you get your ass in here and service Mr. Luva.

Bynum's a scrub.

[21_Blessings]

Only 22 and he's still the 2nd best center in the playoffs with one knee :lol

[midnightpulp]

Only 22 and he's still the 2nd best center in the playoffs with one knee :lol

Only 22 and a malnourished, Ethiopian child could take more punishment than Baby Drew.

[redzero]

Only 22 and he's still the 2nd best center in the playoffs with one knee :lol

Oh, Bynum's better than an ancient Shaq and Robin Lopez?

Congratulations!

[Ghazi]

I'd take Perkins over Glassnum. Smaller and less talented, but willing to do dirty work, plays tough, has some "nastiness" in him... unlike Glassnum's soft premadonna ass.

[Vertical]

Bogut owns this fool...

[midnightpulp]

Oh, Bynum's better than an ancient Shaq and Robin Lopez?

Congratulations!

Only 22, lookout health insurance plan.

At 30, the orthopedic department at whatever hospital he goes to will open up the Andrew Bynum wing in his honor.

Productive for Bynum translates these days to:

"Whew, he got through that game in one piece."

[midnightpulp]

The fucking guy took a cereal break during the middle of practice. Nuff said.

Why can't Blessings just admit he's wrong?

[Ghazi]

Productive for Bynum translates these days to:

:lol

[JamStone]

Umm even being invisible for that Utah series, Bynum is averaging 10 PPG and 9 RPG in the playoffs. He might not be the next great center, but you could still easily win your bet that Bynum would average a double-double for the playoffs.

[z0sa]

Bogut owns this fool...

and I called it a long, long time ago. Bogut always deserved his contract, Bynum still ain't earning 15mil.

[midnightpulp]

I agree that his presence alone is effective.

But in a Nazr Mohammed, Fabricio Oberto kind of way.

Not in the next Tim Duncan kind of way that Blessings goes on about.

[Quit Hatin']

no bynum, no championship. We got raped in 2008 and we won in 2009. Bynum might not have the best stats but his impact was felt in the finals when he took dwight out of his game and saved gasol from guarding Dwight who would have gotten mandhandled. odom got to come of the bench and gasol got to focus on offense.

Quit Hatin'

[Phillip]

Bynum is a total faggot. He is the reason I currently hate the Lakers. If you simply took him off the team, I actually wouldn't mind seeing them win it all again.

[Ghazi]

That's the thing about Bynum's 10/9. It's invisible. He's like the David West of centers. A guy who puts up nice stats but doesn't truly impact the team.

Had a negative +/- in a series his team sweeped :lmao :wow :lol 21 blessings

[JamStone]

All I was responding to was the fact that you can still win your bet.

I don't really have an opinion on Bynum. I think he's been put in a unique situation in his NBA career, not really being able to see if he can reach his potential because he has to defer to Kobe. And then when he starting becoming a really good player, the Lakers acquired Gasol, and that limited his touches and ability to try to dominate games. He's not the next great center, but he certainly isn't a scrub. But in his situation, not sure he'll ever realize his potential playing afterthought to Mamba and Emu.

[JamStone]

Not really. You see, his numbers will decrease even more this coming series when the Suns go small ball. The guy has no passion and plays with no heart.

Perhaps. I don't know. Phil can try to attack the Phoenix frontcourt and try to dominate the paint and the glass. If that happens, they may have Bynum in there a lot to try to exploit the frontcourt advantage, especially if it's working. And whichever team the Lakers face in the Finals (if they get there), Bynum will get minutes because all three teams left in the EC have legit centers and strong frontcourts with size. Bynum will have ample opportunity to average a double-double the rest of the way.

[redzero]

Bynum is a total faggot. He is the reason I currently hate the Lakers. If you simply took him off the team, I actually wouldn't mind seeing them win it all again.

I truly believe that nothing would actually happen to the Lakers good or bad if Bynum didn't play.

He is truly inconsequential.

[Giuseppe]

Sans Howard wavin' buh bye in Florida, Summer '09.

[JamStone]

Having success and dominating aren't the same thing.

Bynum could easily get into foul trouble with those ECF teams and still put up 12 and 12 on 5-for-7 shooting off of putbacks and early dump downs. It won't be dominating, but it will be enough to average a double-double and for midnight to win the bet.

[Agloco]

I see you've hitched the trailer home up and located to a new IP address. Congrats. Even got custom plates for the occasion. Big baller. :tu

[Agloco]

If he can give us 12/12/2 then he has exceeded my expectation of him.

All he's really gotta do is man up on Howard so he doesn't go off "Deliverance" style on you.

[j-money24]

I'd take Perkins over Glassnum. Smaller and less talented, but willing to do dirty work, plays tough, has some "nastiness" in him... unlike Glassnum's soft premadonna ass.

That's what i keep saying..
Bynum is the softest NBA player.

Yeah, I hooked up the tv just in time to see you bend over for the Suns.

Culburn, you don't live in Arizona, do you?

A course I do.

If not, Suns fans must think you're obnoxious as fuck to be around.

No, I came from Ohio in '86 with nary a preconceived hatred. Somethin' happened (I don't know what) immediately and I've been hatin' ever since.

[Agloco]

Yeah, I hooked up the tv just in time to see you bend over for the Suns.

I'm surprised you had enough aluminum foil to pull that off. Been to any "Girls Gone Wild" shoots up on Lake Havasu since you've relocated?

[Giuseppe]

I'm surprised you had enough aluminum foil to pull that off. Been to any "Girls Gone Wild" shoots up on Lake Havasu since you've relocated?

Never when that shoot is on, but, it's pretty wild up there just about any time. I just sit on the benchs with binoculars while the wife shops. The girls are sometimes nude, or nearly nude (guys too) on the boats. It's crazy.

:tu

I'd be up there all the god damn time. That and Vegas anyway. Two good spots for some tail.

[picc84]

Bynum is a decent player. Just nowhere NEAR as good as people try to make him out to be. He's just as liable to put up 4/3 as 20/10. More likely, probably. Def more than a role player, but not even close to a star.

There are two stars on the Lakers. No one else can be counted on on a consistent basis.

[TheManFromAcme]

no bynum, no championship. We got raped in 2008 and we won in 2009.

:tu

This.

[DenDen]

10 ppg 9 rb, bynum is overhype garbage, especially being 7"2", who rarely see double teams or fronting, playing along side lethal teammates in Kobe and pau, who attract opposing team defense.. Only 22, already 2 major knee injuries.. Good luck to your next great big, only 25 and playing less games then Yao.

[ChrisRichards]

Bynum is just a glorified Haywood.
ouch:lmao

[Budkin]

The fucking guy took a cereal break during the middle of practice. Nuff said.

:lmao

[j.dizzle]

Bynum is lazy as fuck, end of story..When he tried to go for blocks vs Utah he would swat the shit out of their players..Too bad he only tries 30% of the time. I think he'll do well vs phx though since the team gets a week to rest..Thats the problem with having studs like Kobe & Pau on your team. Players like Drew & Odom feel like they dont gotta give full effort every game cuz they'll always have their backs.

[Giuseppe]

Horseshit! His knee is tore up. If they're admitting to a "small tear" common sense tells you it's larger.

Kobe & Pau aren't immune from criticism. Kobe's quit a couple times, and Pau bowed down to the Celtics two years ago and continues to bellow each time he's touched to this day.

Odom ain't Kobe on Kobe's best days. He's just not. They're wired different. Odom fears. Kobe doesn't.

They're not punched pressed off an assembly line in the image of MJ. They broke that template anyway.

[midnightpulp]

Not really. You see, his numbers will decrease even more this coming series when the Suns go small ball. The guy has no passion and plays with no heart.

:tu:tu:tu

:lmao at 4 and 4 against Phoenix's front line.

[picc84]

12/12/2 :lol

21 Bynums :lmao

[Ghazi]

I heard some Spurs fans say the lakers frontline advantage is unfair.

Not really.

Gasol is great, but a little soft. Odom is good, but inconsistent. and Glassnum is a scrub in the mold of Diop, Mbenga, etc.

Probably the best frontcourt in the league, but to call it "unfair" or the best frontcourt in the past 20 years (ChrisRichards) is insane.

Lest we forget they've played one real center in the playoffs so far, and it's Robin fucking Lopez :lol

Watching the Lakers frontcourt v Perkins/Garnett/Wallace will be very interesting to me. First real test for them in the playoffs IMo. (if it happens)

[tdunk21]

Only 22 and he's still the 2nd best center in the playoffs with one knee :lol

:rollin

[Fpoonsie]

I've posted this before, but Bynum'll always have a place in my basketball-loving heart after this sequence...

bd-FLEDTfao

[SomeCallMeTim]

That's the thing about Bynum's 10/9. It's invisible. He's like the David West of centers. A guy who puts up nice stats but doesn't truly impact the team.

Had a negative +/- in a series his team sweeped :lmao :wow :lol 21 blessings

Third best +/- for the season for the Lakers... 25th best PER in the NBA, 3rd or 4th among centers depending on whether you count Duncan as a center or not (and this also includes Oden who only played 20-some games)... and whether you see it or acknowledge it or not, he is a plus defender who anchors one of the league's best defenses.

I do not disagree that he's been disappointing -- his potential is higher than all of that. But to say he doesn't impact the team is ridiculous. The things he does well (score efficiently, rebound, block/alter shots) are all things that are huge in winning ballgames.

He may be overpaid, especially with how the market cooled last year, but really -- who cares? It is better to overpay for a key piece like him than to let him go and try make do with what would've been available on the FA market for the MLE (not much).

Lakers ain't winning another title without him this year, they need him.

[21_Blessings]

What's funny is I stated on this very forum that Lakers wouldn't even need Bynum until the finals. And they will. That's how fucking pathetic the Western Conference is outside of the Lakers. :lmao

Fact remains dude is playing on a torn meniscus and he's still a better player than Brenda/Erica combined. :lol

[Ghazi]

Congratulations, he's better than Haywood and Dampier. Woopdi fucking dooo.

Guys a scrub.

[Ghazi]

Quite frankly though, if you plug in Damp or Haywood in Bynum's place it's the same result.

They can give you 15-20 minutes and 4-5 points and 3-4 rebounds too :lol.

[Ghazi]

Ghaztube will return when Lebron comes to Dallas.

[21_Blessings]

Scrubs don't bring back interest for a Chris Bosh in a sign and trade :lol Nor do they put up 19/11 when healthy as the 2nd option at only 21/22 years old. :lol

[Ghazi]

:wow Bynum's already missed more games than Bryant, Nowitzki, Garnett, and Duncan have in their entire careers

:wow :wow... :wow :wow

jeez... :depressed

[21_Blessings]

Even on one knee Bynum still plays better defense than Dirk. :lol

[Ghazi]

jeez... almost $30million over the next 2 years for a guy who only shows up in November and always has injury excuses when the real season starts.

jeez... nice job by the Lakers FO overall but they messed this one up... jeez

jeez.... so many missed games :wow :wow

[21_Blessings]

Jeez...20 million next year for Dirk, a guy that only shows up in the regular season and shits the bed in the playoffs every year despite being healthy.

Nice job by the Dallas FO. 2nd highest payroll in the NBA equates to a first round exit to a terrible fucking 7 seed. :lmao

[Ghazi]

jeez... if 25/10 is shitting the bed in the playoffs what the hell is 6/4... jeeez... :wow :wow

:wow :wow... so many missed games. Man, I almost feel bad for Glassy.

[21_Blessings]

Bynum gets minor arthroscopic surgery this summer and returns to beasting next season. Or he gets traded for Chris Bosh. Two time champion either way. Win/win for the Lakers and their fans.

:lmao Meanwhile nobody wants Erica Dampier and his contract

[Ghazi]

jeez... Bynum should give half his salary to Kobe... this guy is a 15/8 player in the regular sesaon on the Lakers, but probably a Nazr Mohammed, Desagana Diop, Erick Dampier, etc on any other team..

Gotta give Kobe his props.. tricked me into thinking Bynum was an elite center at one point...

PS: Damp --> Lebron---> :lobt:*3

[21_Blessings]

Cleveland has no need for Damp or his expiring. They'll never take him back. :lmao The only hope Ghazi has for his shitty, failure of a franchise is a pipe dream that has zero chance of happening. :lol

[Ghazi]

Beaubois, a couple of picks, cash, and jettisoning Varejao's contract... Cleveland sure as hell wouldn't mind that. better than LeBron walking...

you know what they would probably mind though? paying $30million over the next 2 years to an injury prone Desagana Diop 2.0 :lol

[angelbelow]

Quit Hatin'

[tdunk21]

The great thing about his situation he's the best trade bate on the market right now.

who would take yao and bynum who r injured all the time...

[21_Blessings]

Bynum actually plays while injured. Oden and Yao don't.

[DenDen]

Bynum actually plays while injured. Oden and Yao don't.

Yao, broken bone.. Bynum, tore his vagina.. I'm no doctor, but I'm pretty sure you can still play with a torned vagina..
