@ K Dizzle

What a difference a year makes on peoples’ memories. Wasn’t Bynum supposed to come back from injury last year in time for the playoffs? He’s coming off a major knee injury. He might be back by the playoffs, but getting back into game shape is another story. I doubt he’ll be back to 100% anytime this season.

One thing is for sure though, a less than 100% Bynum is better than 100% Odom.

4 minutes left: Kobe checks in and proceeds to rip Houston and Ronny’s hearts out. Gonna love to see how Ianny and other Kobe hatin “Laker fans” spin this into Kobe destroyin team chemistry. Why is Kobe the best?
Watch the final 4 minutes. Any challenge, anybody…

I just love it when “true” Laker fans challenge the fanhood of others if they even suggest that Kobe may be part of the problem. Keep telling yourselves that everyone else on the team sucks. Without Pau you wouldn’t have swept the Celts or the Cavs in the regular season.

Carry on, folks.

Yeah I also like Powell. True, actually now that I think about it this whole Tex Winter statement could just be a little ploy into rousing the team to play better. Maybe he sees they’ve gotten complacent or bored and this is his way of telling them, look don’t be walking around like your shit don’t stink. You ain’t the champions until you win that trophy.

i know..

Its like we back to thinking all we have to do outscore people.. but big AB will make a bit of a difference after he sends a couple of shots packing his first couple games back.. and hopefully it will juice the whole team to play better D.. i like Powell too.

You never know.. we could be pulling an Horry and just waiting for the money season lol

Lakeshow,

I agree, but I don’t like the lack of motivation I’ve seen for the last month or so on defense. Earlier in the season this team was playing some really great D, now not so much. I don’t know if Bynum means that much or what, but I’m not liking the rate at which the team gives up 100+ lately.

while i agree with you Doc on the LO being the worst enforcer in the world issue i cant help but wonder..

then how did we sweep Boston and Cleveland this year?? how would a bunch of softies with skill go into Boston and Cleveland BACK TO BACK and beat those teams rough teams at the end of a road trip?? Boston is supposed to be the toughest team in NBA right?? and isnt Lebron gods gift to basketball??

crazy how a bunch of skilled pussies done that.. but lemme guess none those games meant anything to anybody.. not until playoff time right??

yes, they are not playing to their potential…imagine if they were.

they have the best(tie)record in the league, but they haven’t played to their potential, if only they would…

i don’t think they can make it to the west finals with the attitude some of the players have, especially lamar and lately trevor.

since trevor had those 2 concussions, he has not been the same player.

some think kobe has the best supporting cast, he doesn’t, maybe on paper, but these guys don’t give effort, at first they did, not anymore. if kobe’s not in their behind pushing them, they would not have the record they have. you just have to watch every game to know that the guys have talent, but not the heart.
well, mbenga works his big heart out, but he’s not that good.

The Lakers are just overrated.We all know they Kobe and a bunch of skilled pussies.U cant have all them skill finesse(soft) players without one backhand smacker around to enforce shit.When LO is you’re enforcer you are soft.It will get exposed.AGAIN.
