Bynum: 23 pts 11-23 FG (less than 50%), 8 rbds, 2 assts, 2 blks, 0 stls on 42 min.
Duncan: 25 pts 12-19 FG, 13 rbds, 4 assts, 4 blks, 2 stls on 39 min.
Yeah, Bynum definitely won the matchup against Duncan
okay, Jeff.
I can't believe ducks learned how to enter the chat room. What's left to learn in this world?
Do you try to be stupid?
America, eatin' my lunch from a single bowl in my parents basement, where I'm livin'. Happy Birthday, I'm forty-three.
Don't want to waste those precious calories...chewin'. Jesus come move my jaw for me, help me get my sloppy food down my throat.
Did I just read that? Are you some kind of re ?
This statement is the prime reason Spurs fans don't want to listen to anything a Lakers fan has to say.
Even in a loss you're still blowing your own horn.
Bynum was not a factor on the defensive end. Tim dominated this game on both ends. That's why he one of the best of all time. Bynum had a great game offensively, but other than that he didn't dominate.
Against a younger Tim, Bynum would have totally been taken apart, still though Tim played a great game. If want Kobe to get some credit, how about giving it when it is deserved the other way?
I was just thinking that outside of Kobe, I don't like any of LA's guards. They all bring something to the table, but not usually more than one thing. LA's guards outside of Kobe are like SA's bigs outside of Duncan.
Its tough to feel bad about Lakers injuries when last year the same Laker fans were dismissing Ginobili's injuries and acting as if they beat a healthy Spurs team in 5 games. Better hope Gasol is able to get over his injuries by playoff team, you pricks get no sympathy here
25/13/4 beats 23/8/2....whatever makes you feel better Laker fans!
Injuries and health are all a part of basketball and every other sport for that matter.
Winning championships takes talent, heart, health, and a little bit of luck along the way.
lol
Agree... he doesnt have the patience yet and alot of the time his moves are premediated too much. Most times its enough to get a clean look because of his sheer size and length.. and because of his touch he will score the majority of those. Guys like Hakeem and Duncan make a move, then if it gets blocked off or defended well, they have a counter move which they go to which gets them a good look.. sometimes Hakeem would use 3 or 4 of his counters for the sake of it
Another thing... one thing he doesnt do enough of is crab dribble... despite being so long and lanky Bynun still has a really strong base so he really could get to his spot in the paint anytime he wanted and get an easier shot... even for a baby hook.. he often settles for a face up where he takes a hard dribble right then spins towards the middle for a hook shot - its still almost ungauradble, but he can get predictable. But even Duncan is guilty of going to a move too much... that stupid one dribble towards the middle and then throw up a fade away running hook when his defender is smothering him...
All this comes with time though hes still only 22.
true true. how much longer till he truly develops his game?Agree... he doesnt have the patience yet and alot of the time his moves are premediated too much.

Hard to say... he's gonna continue to get better at making reads right throughout his career... but he probably doesnt 'fully' develop in terms of mental until 25 or 26. Duncan wasnt a great passer out of double teams until he was around that age.. maybe a little younger. Same with Shaq and Hakeem. The more touches he gets... the more the post game will become more natural to him aswell.
Bynum's strong base is the key to low post domination. He has a way to go, but you can't teach his length or that base.
You can never say. Everyone said that Dwight Howard would be a beast by now, but I wasn't so sure and now I think he is even regressing and getting worse. Strictly talking about low post skills here.
It's not easy being a great post player. You gotta work your ass off to get to Hakeem Olajuwon or Tim Duncan level. Most people never get there despite showing lots of potential.

Spurs just beating a team they're supposed to beat. No surprises here.
Congrats on the win Spurs fans.
Yeah, Duncan was terrible tonight... that kid with the not as good stats on the team that lost by 20 really owned him.Bynum: 23 pts 11-23 FG (less than 50%), 8 rbds, 2 assts, 2 blks, 0 stls on 42 min.
Duncan: 25 pts 12-19 FG, 13 rbds, 4 assts, 4 blks, 2 stls on 39 min.

Dazed and Confused, go easy on whatever you're taking.
Just got home from the game. Enjoyed giving the Laker fans all night. There was a whole group of them one section over that brought their championship banners (which I laughing pointed on to them that they were holding them backwards, typical of a Laker fan)with their hats all crooked like little wannabe gangstas. They were talking big early in the game when the Lakers went up 12 to 5, but once the Spurs built a 6-9 pt lead, it got real quiet over there.
Then, wouldn't you know it.. when the Lakers pull within 6-7pts in the 4th, they start talking again. One of them had their girlfriend with them that grabbed one of the banners and started yelling at us and pointing at it, like the was on Jerry Springer or something. She sounded like a damn Chihuahua yapping the whole time.. and the guy she was with was wearing what looked to be a hand spray-painted white T-shirt that said Spurs Suck. Looked like something my 6 year old could make with puff paints. Of the course the guy hid it UNDER his Laker T-shirt while he and his crew took the long walk down the steps when the game was over, amidst the chorus of "Lakers suck" chants...
The younger kid with him (looked to be about 16) looked like his dog had died from midway through the 2nd quarter until the end of the game after talking big stuff early too, with his "MVP! MVP!" chants in the 1st quarter when Kobe was at the FT line.
We gave it right back to him after EVERY ONE of Kobe's 5 TURNOVERS, by chanting "MVP!" right back at him. Especially loved the George Hill steal on Kobe for the dunk. Kid pulled out his phone to pretend he couldn't hear us.
Damn, I love watching Laker fans leave the AT&T Center hanging their heads....
The Lakers finally left the Staples center and is not a nice way to start their road trip oh well
you want to know how i know your gay?
jk/ you're just an idiot
What kind of pussy actually puts people on their ignore list??
serious question...
what kind of pussy?
The Thunder lack a legit big man so Duncan should have his way against them.
Kobe is such a warrior. I wish Manu, Duncan and Parker were half the man that Kobe is.
He went out there, bruised and broken, and did everything he possibly could to lead his team to victory. I have never known a player to play through injuries...not like him anyway.
As long as everyone in the media and the stadium knows he's injuried...he'll continue to soldier on. And even though his hand is falling off, he still managed to shoot 7-10. Not to mention his life-threatening back injury. I would also like to thank him for staying until it got ugly. Thank you Kobe. You're a true American hero!
That's nice and all, but has he ever used his spring break to give kids from the Philippines cir cisions? Until then, the only real answer is Tim Tebow. Or as I call him, Super Tebow.
