This move puts the Spurs over the top IMO IF Bynum isnt ready come playoff time.
And from what im hearing, It looks like they are only "Hoping" he will be back come playoff time.
If Bynum is back and playing well....No one is beating the Lakers.
How bout brent barry or roger mason, It's the system and the fact that if you don't play d you don't play. Heres some more michael finley glenn robinson.

Agree. Camby or R Wallace may not even have been enough to get past the Lakers.
Gooden is a good pickup just not the big differnce maker some are making him to be.
I disagree. I think there's 2 or 3 teams that can take down the Lakers. San Antonio included (the other two that quickly come to mind are Boston and Utah).
with or without Bynum?
Either way. I don't think Bynumite is such a difference maker.
Bynum is expected back ight before the end of the regular season so plenty of time ready for the conference finals.
L.A don't need bynum to beat anybody in the west but it would certainly help.
Some of you are hyperventilating wusses.
Bring on the Lakers.
Andrew Bynum ain't .
Even the LA Times stated that the Spurs with Gooden would be scary.
keep thinking that if you wish but facts remains the guy is very talented and is a difference maker clogging up the paint and is a guy who can score and rebound and block shots....
You can add the New Orleans Hornets to that list. They can beat LA whether they have Bynum or not.
i really hope bynum isnt ready playoff time.
Yea
but looking at it from an objective point of view we know that a Bynum less Lakers are very vulnerable...with him they are VERY tough to beat.
Bring them on at full strength.
who wins?
well with Pop, and Larry Brown as well, either you play team defense, or you sit. I have seen Pop pull David, Tim, Manu, and Tony cause they missed defensive assignments. Of course, he put them back in shortly after, but he got his point across. Play his way or sit like Malik, Udoka, Beno, and Bonner did for so long.
Since the Spurs are known for their defense, then yes, Pop makes players better defenders when they come to SA. The entire fundamental approach of our system starts at the defensive end. So if a player is not willing to sell his soul to defense, then his butt will either be riding some serious pine or have a ticket on the next flight out of SA.
Glen Robinson, Michael Finley, Matt Bonner, Roger Mason, and even Steve Kerr all learned how to play team defense for the Spurs. While never DPOY candidates, they committed enough on the defensive side of the ball to make the Spurs system work.
Whoever scores the most points.
They've been inconsistent. The addition of Posey was supposed to help them reach the next level, but I think their game has regressed from last year. They're still a team that can show up and play big for a game or two. But they have not done it on a consistent basis this season, unlike last season.
You guys make him sound like the ing second coming of Wilt Chamberlain. He's young, inexperienced, and he's not as good as you guys make him out to be. I'm so ing sick of hearing about Bynum like he is the sole determinant of whether the Lakers win the championship or not. Give me a break.
Your going down pimp.
I agree that he's been pretty much underrated by most of Spurs fans everywhere. But there's a point for it, the guy hasn't proved that he can be smart in basketball court. Maybe he's been trying to prove what kind of player he is in ty teams like Chicago where everyone pretty much catch and shoot everytime they get the ball.
Now he has the chance to prove that he's a in a great team where he can be really useful due to the lack of consistency in PF position for the Spurs. If he adapts to what Pop and the Spurs want from him, Im sure he'll help. The guy has qualities, he's athletic, he can rebound and has a little bit of scoring. He just needs to be smart.
The signing looks awesome and he'll be a big boost but what about next year? Will Gooden just be a spur for 4 months?
I apologize if I insulted your Lakers, but I'm not going to stop.
