Saying that the Lakers do not win a C without Bynum is like saying the Bulls not winning a C without Cartwright or Longley or the Heat winning a C without Haslem.

during the kobe era, did they win without Bynum?

 

So what is the relevance of this to the post of dencio?

 

If this question is not related whatsoever then what's your point? As we know during the Kobe era (as of today) the Lakers didn't win any C's without Bynum. But they also didn't win one without Pau and/or without Ron Artest a.k.a Metta World Peace either. Just as MJ didn't win a C without either Bill or Luc.

If you insist on Bynum's worth on the Lakers' 2 Cs, the prove it. Ano ba ginawa niya para sa Lakers for them to win? Any key stats?

Sad that this happened to one of the better ex-lakers.

been a long time, bro bb! Hope this Lakers thread doesn't get closed.

 

Re: Odom

 

I think everything started to go down for him after he was traded to the Hornets in that CP3 package. Lots of bad things happening to him. The worst would be being married to a Kardashian and it was the ugly Kardashian at that. I feel for LO but when he was on the Lakers, I ragged on him a lot for being inconsistent. I don't think he'll ever make it back so I hope he'll at least try to have a good life outside of basketball.

 

On a whole different note, I'm still not sure whether to root for the Lakers to have a good season enough to put them in the Playoffs picture or to have them tank (which Kobe would not allow for sure!) just to have a shot at probable super rookies like Wiggins, Gordon, Andrew Harrison, Randle, Exum, and (as much as I don't like him that much) Jabari Parker. Those names could have legit all-star/possibly superstar type of a career (specially Wiggins and Gordon. those two have the most upside, IMO). But on the other hand, there's this Lakers tradition which will not allow any P&G team to tank unlike the other P&G team I know *hint* PUKE and GREEN *hint*

Nice to see you're still around too, tj. Now that we're both here, this thread's days are definitely numbered.

 

LOs a grown ass man. If he decides to put his life in the toilet, it'll be tragic but no one can do anything about it. I blame the kardashians. No one can come in contact with them and not get his head screwed. Humphries was lucky he got out early.

 

Barring a LAbron James transfer in the future, it's 1992 and 2005 all over again. In that sense, the Lakers are easier to watch because there are no expectations. Now we can be entertained by Nash yelling at Farmar to slow it down and Young chucking up a ton of ridiculous shots. We can also have fun side bets as to whether pau, nash, kaman or kobe would get out of the injury list first all season and how much we are going to get blown out by the eastern and western powers game to game. We're not going to intentionally tank, that's MDA's job. He's supposed to confuse the players with plays that no one understands and assign the wrong roles to everybody. Can't wait to see the 2nd disastrous season of '24' which is how many hours he plans to play Kobe per game. Forget about the coming batch, the last significant player we had via the draft was drew and as i see it, we don't have high enough draft standing to get at those guys. Do we even have picks for that class?

 

Even then, i would rather really watch all that than have last year's catastrophe happen again. The Rondos are in even worse shape than we are, so long as we have them for company in the nba toilet, things can't be all that bad.

We win the opener against the Clippers but the main thought on my mind was, who is xavier henry?

[fatchubs]

I'm just so happy we won this one vs the clippers specially after the issue that Coach Rivers ordered that all the Lakers banners be covered during the Clippers home games

 

For a team built around minimum salaried players and yet was able to produce a total of 76 points from their bench, they obviously performed beyond expectations today vs the clippers.

Ah. There's the Lakers team that everyone (including me) was expecting. Destroyed by GS by more than 30.

[fatchubs]

Talo na naman....ang sama ng shooting percentage vs spurs

[darksoulriver]

muntik pang matalo

 

go my new fantasy favorite XAVIER HENRY!

May rumors na "candidate" si Nash na ma trade ....most likely destination toronto

LAkers just won over DH's Rockets

[Robo Cop]

Good job Lakers!

[TidusJanus]

It's so frustrating to watch Pau Gasol play these days. I subscribed to NBA League pass on my phone so I can watch the games all the time. Hope Kobe returns soon. Maybe he can inject some passion into Pau. Guy looks lost out there.

Bout damn time that Howard won a game for us.

[boibastos]

I don't know why, despite having so many superstars and highly paid players in the team, they still have more losses than wins. Mysterious!

 

5 reasons why:

 

1. Gasol plays like a 40 year old.

2. Nash IS actually 40.

3. Kobe is still broken.

4. Someone REALLY has to tell Nick Young that he's not Kobe.

5. Most teams can't be fooled with D'antoni's who-are-those-guys-anyway? offense.

 

It's a miracle that we have 3 wins at this point. When the rest of the NBA figures out that the Lakers are just Pau, 1/3 of Steve Nash and a bunch of guys who are just happy to be chucking random 3-pointers and to be in a NBA roster, it's going to get brutal.

Kobe can inject whatever he wants inside Pau and he still going to be slow, out of sync, and at times disinterested. The man is clearly done, he's been that way for the past 3 seasons. Unfortunately, Pau's still also clearly better than most of the Lakers we have on the court at any given time.

[fatchubs]

Just my opinion ... NASH is not even 1/2 of the "Nash" the Lakers expects him to be when they signed him. I wonder if there are any other teams interested. Better trade him and save on $$$ and more cap space for next season.

[direstraits94]

isama na rin c d'antoni s trade

[Richmond]

5 losses for the Lakers this season 3 of them by more than 20 points.

[boibastos]

W against the Pelicans. I didn't know we were capable of blowing teams out. Then again, it's the Pelicans.

[fatchubs]

talo na naman today sa Denver.

 

Am really puzzled by D' Antoni's coaching. It seems hindi niya makuha un hinahanap niyang combination (kung may hinahanap nga). Since the start of the season he had various tweaks in the starting line-up.

lakers will suck even with kobe around
