This loss hurts them more than people think. 1parker1 remember last year when he was only gonna be out 8 weeks? Never came back. Lakers have to plan for the year as if he's done for the year.
Bynum being gone might cost them a game or two, which could be the difference. I was already sure the gap between Spurs & Lakers in the standings would shrink by the end of the season.

It is sick to enjoy the injury to ANY player.
Sick.
Good luck to AB--a young player with a terrific future in the NBA.
We got pissed when people rejoiced when Tim got injured before the Phoenix playoffs a few years ago and against Detroit a couple of years ago.
We should remember that.
Yeah. Except for Bynum not needing 8 MRIs before the real problem was found, they're exactly the same.Sounds like Mahinmi's ankle.
Although it isnt cool to be joyful about this, it does appear to be a huge break for the spurs, and seeing as this is a spurs forum and seeing as how we do have a sour taste in our mouth from last years WCF, its no surpirse why this thread will be hot hot hot.
I do wish andrew bynum to a speedy(well not too speedy) recovery though
This could be pretty bad for the Lakers. 10 weeks from today is Apr. 13th, which is the day before their season finale. They really need him back closer to the 8 week mark, which would give him 8 games to get into game shape and get into rhythm for the playoffs. That said, I wish him a speedy recovery.
From our perspective we need to take advantage of this time without Bynum by continuing to win games to try to close the gap. We are only 5 games back and if we can put together a solid second half of the season we could have a shot at the 1 seed.
When bynum gets back Im sure ian will be in too .
Bynum will be out the rest of the year like last year, but Spurs will still have a tough time with the Lakers in the playoffs unless Ginbili plays like an all-star.
I wish him a good rehab.
If he is out 8 weeks, he will be able to help significantly Lakers for the playoffs. If he is out 12 weeks, it won't. It's also likely that Lakers have a more precise idea on how long he will be out than just the 8 to 12 weeks diagnostic.
nobody should enjoy it, but there is a sense of justice for what he did to Gerald Wallace.
I also wish him a good rehab, I hope to see him again this year, he was playing very well these last weeks.
This is a significant loss for the lakers but even without him they are still the favorites in the West. Now if Lakers make the finals anyway it will be tough for them.
Hey Kobe! How my ass taste?
Drop in the standings and hit them in the 1st round haha
Yes, but i also remember the feeling of '01, '02, '04, and '08.
It's a tough break for Bynum, and you'd never wish that on any player...but i'm not gonna act like it's bad news for the Spurs.
Suddenly, the Spurs need to upgrade its bigs became a tad less critical..
The irony is that if he had been suspended for seriously injuring another player, he wouldn't have been seriously injured.
I dont see how people are saying the Lakers are still the favorites. We all know the dominant frontcourt of the Lakers was too much for this current Spurs team. With Bynum (probably gone for the season IMO), the Spurs are the favorites to get to the Finals this year.
An healthy Manu,Tim,Tony is too much for Kobe and Pau too handle. Also the Spurs have youth to help them. Dont get me wrong the series will go 6-7 games but i see the Spurs winning.
Please explain last year then?
spurs better take full advantage of this and overtake the lakers now while they are vulnerable.
bad news.
I hope he can be back soon
Mason, Hill, playing 5 on 5 on Offense with Bonner's emergence.
And mostly, the real Manu. Not 12 PPG on 35% Manu.
it's too bad for bynum. this is his career and i cant wish him misery.
but as for the lakers, and their fans... yes, i wish them misery, and am glad they have this injury. how many times did they downplay manu's injury? how many times did they mock us for complaining about the refs? in last years finals they got their asses stomped and all we heard was "if we had bynum", "if the refs didnt let them manhandle us"... this season started and, like every other year, they annointed themselves champs. they suffer from chronic premature ejaculation and once again they've blown their load months too early. I just hope the spurs are the ones to take advantage
We give a because Bynum was the guy we couldn't match up on.
As for all you people saying he's done, get a ing grip. He's 21 for sake. Plenty of players have come back from knee injuries - Kidd, Stoudamire, Kenyon Martin just off the top of my head. I really don't understand the at ude of many posters on this board towards injury.
Can't you read? He said: "An healthy Manu,Tim,Tony is too much for Kobe and Pau too handle."
Manu was playing on one leg.
