Lakers Impressed with Bynum's Progress - "It's obvious he's been in the weight Room"

It's 1 out of 82. the first out of 82 at that. You're putting way too much stock into that game.

You seriously think the opening night game might make or break their season?

For young players, psyche is everything. They might come into the season believing they're good enough to take on anybody.

An ass-kicking would make the young Blazers question their ability, veteran players would know it's just 1 of 82.

I guess it's a good thing the Lakers have some veteran players then.

Let me translate this article for you:

"Bynum has been working out with McDonalds health club. His main dietary includes French Fries with Large French Fries on the side and a french fries smoothie. We are extremely happy that he is now bloated to 280lbs just being a slacker he is during this off season. We want to share this information with fans, so they will be excited for our season and buy our tickets, which can be fantastic for our Christmas bonuses. "

It's ok, we'll still be pounding your rockets throughout the season. Certainly didnt take Bynum before to pass the Rockets habitual first round exit

Wishful thinking. Except the Lakers actually upside and the ability to get better. Not to mention a better coach, owner and superstar.

Mavs were a fluke team, nothing more. SA the bed and they lucked out in seeing an Amare-less Suns team. Then they get destroyed by a pretty awful Miami team. At least the Lakers got beat by 67 win team that had one of the best defenses ever. Oh and that was without their center.

Have fun watching the Lakers dominate the league over the next 5+ years. I know I will.

Bull !!! Jordan picked Kwame #1 for two reasons only... he was 7ft and he pushed Tyson Chandler around during workouts... thats it! And stop making excuses for Kwame having small hands. Since when did having small hands equate to not being able to catch a ing ball. Derek Fisher has small hands. Spud Webb had small hands. What about those girls in the WNBA who got small hands, and they catch just fine. Kwame just cant catch... PERIOD!!! The guy is timid and has bad nerves. His B-ball IQ is less than 0, and he is lazy and suffering from B-ball necrosis.

BTW, Hakeem Olajuwon had small hands, his has about the same hand size as me, and I am foot shorter, and I have relatively small hands for a guy my size.

I'll place a bet with Tlong. but for overall record, if LA has a better record. you can't post till the post season is over, and i will do the same if Portland has a better record. after all that Oden gobbling, you got to.

Everybody else wins no matter who loses in this bet.
