Good luck to him..seriously..hate to see guys hurt. Dude's a monster.
Great news! Arash Markazi just reported on espn radio pregame show that Phil said in the pregame interivew that Andrew is responding faster to therapies on his injury then expected. There is a possiblity now he could return on this road trip.

LOL when hes on the court Ill believe it...Good news though if he comes back pretty soon
No rush lets save him for when we get back.
Lakers don't really need him. That's how stacked that team is.
Bynum in the starting lineup makes the team weaker. With him out I wouldn't be surprised if we sweep this road trip.
Now flame me.
I agree. He should back up Gasol. LA becomes that much harder to guard with Odom out there instead. Better spacing for sure and more speed.
Doesn't help that he's the most overrated big in the league. Its almost disgusting.
If he came off the bench the Lakers would be improved 1.5x.
You know what LA's record is in games Bynum doesn't play this year? 7-0. With every one by double digits.
They were playing just fine with Bynum in the lineup when he went down.
At least speak in reality. You do realize Kobe had to play 40 minutes to put down the Wizards, right?
Anyways, The Lakers are facing a bunch of scrub teams this road trip and Phil has officially flipped the switch.
Of course they were playing fine with him. They won the championship with him starting. They're a good ing team one way or the other.
They are BETTER without him in the starting lineup.
Love how you act like the game against the Wizards was some indictment against this when they were up near 40 and just got bored. "Kobe had to play 40 minutes to put down the Wizards" lmao, yeah, thats how it happened.
What's disgusting is you displaying just how little you know about basketball.
Ring with Bynum starting. So you're wrong.
The Lakers beat the Wolves and Wizards by less than double digits. Now you're reduced to lying in order to defend your re ed, minority opinion? Sad.
You asked for a flame and I obliged.
You're wrong. Last I checked Boston smoked them in the finals without Drew.
Love how you act like a win against 3 scrub teams (Spurs, Wizards, wolves) is an indictment of the Lakers being better without Andrew. Especially at a time where Phil Jackson has historically flipped the switch to gear for the playoffs.
Only a clueless basketball mind would call a 22 year old shooting 57% while posting efficient production as the third fiddle the most overrated big in the league. You're digging your own grave at this point.
You're obsessed with that Wizards game. The one we were winning by 30+ at one point.What's disgusting is you displaying just how little you know about basketball.

Also love how my re ed "minority" opinion is pretty much a near consensus on every Laker message board in existence. Just 21_blessings making an ass of himself as usual, nothing new here.
You're the one obsessed here. You used wins against scrub teams as your argument for why they are so much better without Bynum starting. Which makes no sense as far as reality is concerned.You're obsessed with that Wizards game. The one we were winning by 30+ at one point.
If you think a place like Lakersground cons utes as the majority of Laker fans than you are dumber than I originally thought. And even then it's far from a consensus over there. Which makes your argument even more laughable.Also love how my re ed "minority" opinion is pretty much a near consensus on every Laker message board in existence.

Goddamn, you really are an idiot, arent you? When did I say we couldn't have used him against Boston, or that we were a better team without him? I want him off the bench...not waived from the team.The Lakers being 7-0 without him and sweeping Boston/Cleveland last year on the road trip proves the team is still great without him, and he did jack in the playoffs last year. He makes the team better, but he would make the team MORE better off the bench.
He's absolutely the most overrated big in the NBA when people are calling him the best center/2nd best center in the league when he has basically one basketball related skill and no brains.
Keep digging that grave. You look more dumb with every sentence you post.Goddamn, you really are an idiot, arent you? When did I say we couldn't have used him against Boston, or that we were a better team without him? I want him off the bench...not waived from the team.
You say you want him out of the starting lineup and then point to irrelevant regular season games where Bynum didn't even play as your argument. You do realize the Lakers were the number 1 seed at one juncture before the Gasol trade even happened.
Phil Jackson > some re ed irrational Bynum hater that doesn't know how basketball actually works
You're absolutely the dumbest person on the board if you think a prevalent amount of people are calling Bynum the best center in the league. It's like taking the Spurs fans that claimed Manu was on Kobe's level seriously.
Insidehoops, Realgm, Clublakers, etc. Go to any of these places and say its a "re ed, minority opinion" and see what happens.If you think a place like Lakersground cons utes as the majority of Laker fans than you are dumber than I originally thought. And even then it's far from a consensus over there. Which makes your argument even more laughable.
Do you ever leave the house?
Yes, bringing Bynum off the bench is a minority opinion out here in LA.
Lying about internet message board consensus is pretty pathetic though. If that's the best you got to back up your silly opinion..
motivated Bynum > Gasol in my book. Idk why so many Lakers fans want the guy traded and don't think his size is important to them at all.
Ever since Kobe went on his 'ship his ass out' tirade a whole lot of ignorant Laker fans just keep parroting irrational Bynum hate. Which is funny, because Kobe has backtracked since then when he called the Lakers, pre-Gasol, contenders with Bynum as his second option.
Time to move on, you know. No reason for Phil change up the winning formula. Especially on nights when Odom doesn't show up or Gasol decides to go soft the Lakers absolutely need Bynum in the starting lineup. No Bynum no ring.
What does that have to do with anything?
You're just saying random . Bynum before his injury was clearly better than he is now, and again, the does that have to do with the inability to coexist with Gasol as well as Odom?
Phil Jackson is infallible, thats why Luke Walton had to bench himself for Trevor Ariza and Derek Fisher still sees the court.Phil Jackson > some re ed irrational Bynum hater that doesn't know how basketball actually works
The fact that his name gets mentioned is enough. There are quite a few centers who would make the Lakers better than blackhole Bynum, no matter how much you want to suck him off and praise Phil Jackson for basketball omniscience.You're absolutely the dumbest person on the board if you think a prevalent amount of people are calling Bynum the best center in the league. It's like taking the Spurs fans that claimed Manu was on Kobe's level seriously.
Anyone who thinks Bynum and Gasol starting makes the team better than Odom and Gasol not only has no room to call anyone dumb, but clearly doesn't have eyes either, much less a brain.
Before the Gasol trade and Bynum's injury LA was having games like this:
http://www.basketball-reference.com/...712250LAL.html
I don't think people understand the advantage of being able to have any combination of Bynum, Gasol and Odom on the court at all times. Some teams in the NBA wish they could have just one of those guys as an option at PF or C. Bynum making it so Odom can come off the bench in and of itself makes him somewhat valuable.
You're the one who brought up LG.net, then when I mentioned a bunch of others where the same opinion is shared, you all of a sudden were talking about the city of LA, the citizens of which you know all of.Do you ever leave the house?
Yes, bringing Bynum off the bench is a minority opinion out here in LA.
Lying about internet message board consensus is pretty pathetic though. If that's the best you got to back up your silly opinion..
odom in the starting lineup today was beast. keep the way it is now and give the minutes dj got today to bynum and we good. bynum fits in with farmar, brown, and powell. luke comes back healthy he could give ron some rest and if sasha gets his shot back its over.
What does the Lakers winning a couple meaningless regular season games last season have anything to do with Bynum coming off the bench? You do realize I was using your re ed logic, right? Far from random, but calculated.
Inability to co-exist?
1) Phil Jackson > youPhil Jackson is infallible, thats why Luke Walton had to bench himself for Trevor Ariza and Derek Fisher still sees the court.
The fact that his name gets mentioned is enough. There are quite a few centers who would make the Lakers better than blackhole Bynum, no matter how much you want to suck him off and praise Phil Jackson for basketball omniscience.

2)
3) So now you're calling Phil Jackson blind and brainless.
Like I said, keep digging that grave.
