ziiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing.
I'm looking forward to it. Bynum is still only about 80% at best right now. He thinks in about another month he will be back to 100%.
Matter of fact, bump this thread March 10th. Both teams will be fine tuning for the playoffs. We'll see if Miami has the same success. No team has beaten us twice despite the ty 4 and 3 game losing streaks.
Bynum doesn't answer the biggest problem LA has struggled with, perimeter defense. If that's not solved then it puts tons of pressure on him and Pau to protect the rim.
Bynum will not hold up over the long run and is being paid like an All Star when is just a nice part.
Just a matter of time until the next injury.
Phil Jackson hasn't had great perimeter defense since Scottie and Mike. He still won 5 rings with the Lakers. What is your point?
What the Lakers will be able to do now that Drew is starting is pack the paint. For Miami, their best two players go to moves are going to the hole. That will be less frequent - especially if Bynum starts defending the rim like this. "Crash" suffered a collapsed lung after that foul. It will make players think twice about going to the rim if you ask me. There is a clip somewhere of Bynum giving LBJ a hard foul when he was in Cleveland. After LBJ got up he glared at Bynum but he didn't even take one step close to him because he knows what's up.
What a ty thing to say. Congrats.
After the Lakers got skull ed you still believe this? Kobe was a good defender and last year Artest was as well. Before that Ariza and Kobe, now Artest and Kobe are much slower and Ariza is gone. Bynum's hard fouls is the stupidest point you've made to date and you've said some pretty idiotic things before. Against Miami Drew and Gasol couldn't pack the paint with Bosh.Phil Jackson hasn't had great perimeter defense since Scottie and Mike. He still won 5 rings with the Lakers. What is your point?

I've actually held back on talking to you - don't push me cause I'm close to the edge.
The LA/Miami game was not officiated the same on both ends. Pussy ass ticky tack fouls were called on Lakers while because of their defensive reputation they got away with murder. LBJ hardly went to the rim because he was lights out from 3 (aberration - he's shooting 36% from 3 but was lights out that night. We would rather him shoot 3s than barrel through the lane). And that doesn't excuse Kobe for playing the defense he was playing against Wade. Bottom line, your big guns were healthy, the Lakers' were not, and were still incorporating our starting center into our lineup. Hopefully in March both teams will be 100%. I expect different results, tbh. Mainly because we'll be balanced.
In 2009 Ariza/Kobe could be aggressive defensively with two agile 7 footers behind them. Artest/Kobe last year: ditto. Now that our 3-headed monster front line is back in tact, expect Artest/Kobe/Barnes to pick it up defensively. Fisher can't guard a chair though - so that will still be a problem for us.
The threat of hard fouls are what made Shaq's teams intimidating. Trust me, if Bynum makes a few more mother ers have collapsed lungs, why the would that not be in our favor? Hard fouls are reality checks for players that like to go to the hole.
We'll see how often this happens when Drew is 100%. Manu played ty offensively IMO, TP hurt us that game. But what PG hasn't made a living ting on the Lakers? Fishersucksdefensivelybutisclutchoffensively.com
No need to get pussy hurt.

You really believe the threat of hard fouls is going to stop Lebron and Wade (the league's best) from attacking the rim? GTFO, in fact they will attack more being Lakers have nobody to stop them and will just get Bynum and Pau in foul trouble. I told you the great defenders you claimed the Lakers had were nonexistent.In 2009 Ariza/Kobe could be aggressive defensively with two agile 7 footers behind them. Artest/Kobe last year: ditto.

Actually, yes he does as their biggest problem was missing their starting center. A center that is capable of 20/10 type numbers on a lesser team.
Derek Fisher has 5 rings.
Bynum has more kidneys
As I said before the season, the Lakers will need Bynum this season, unlike the last 2, and not just to be a role player..they need him to establish himself as a legit top 2-3 option on their team, to make up for Kobe's decline and tendency to become a chucker..
Unfortunately for Laker fans, Lkrfan is usually wrong, so this is probably a jinx thread that will result in a season-ending injury for Bynum..
HH with the goods
Wanna bet? If Bynum gets a season ending injury, I'm gone for the rest of this season - including the playoffs. If he doesn't, you go. I know you like to bet money so this one should be easy. Are you game?
Is that what makes him slow as on defense?
I already have a pending bet where I would have to leave SpursTalk if I lose..
I'm not interested in another, tbh..I also like having you around, tbh..
I don't remember any other bets by you. What was it?
Sure but hasn't and won't with Kobe and Pau on the same team.
Ok, good for him. To bad it won't make him, Kobe or and Laker sudden lockdown perimeter defenders.
BUMP for this thread
that is too funny.
Negative. Morgan has three.
