i would be surprised/impressed if they won all 4 of those games. considering that they are playing back to back against no on the road, they may be a dog in that matchup (injuries pending obv). i would expect them to win 3 games, but wouldn't be too shocked if they lost to houston/no

I honestly think the combination of return from injury and this contract squabble has f*kd his confidence or something.

lol it was one game. they have only played three so far. even kobe has ****ty games. i suggest waiting until later in the year before saying bynum is "in the muck".

did u watch games 1 and 3? he didnt do much in either. I'm on his side but he needs to pick it up because he's a beast when he's on his game and not in the muck where he currently resides imo

Yes. I have watched all 3 games. We are seeing different things. As impossible as that may seem.

maybe. but i've noticed when he's on his game he assertively calls for the ball in the post which he did not do in Denver. Probably just variance.

Ya, you are right, when he has momentum he does call for the ball. The problem with him now is that he doesnt have the natural confidence. He only gets like this after he blocks a shot or get an o rebound put back. He needs to learn to always be confident and not be results oriented.

He is the opposite of brandon roy who after missing 8 shots in a row didnt even blink or look distressed he just keeps playing and things fall into place. Bynum throws his fists in the air screams at the refs and other emotional immiturrities that I thought he was over last year.

He just turned 21. I'm willing to cut him some slack.

what is up with the huge gap in games? the Titans and Lakers are all i got right now. and waiting every 4 days for laker's games and every week for titan's is starting to get annoying.

Game day bump.

Only game for the Lakers this week which is a bummer but next week has a slate of great matchups.

I assume we will see a much better effort from the Clippers tonight. Camby will be in the lineup this time around and the Clippers have a very good chance of going 0-7 if they lose this game. So I expect a much closer game but obviously a Lakers W.

Lakers by at least 13 IMO, after not seeing the denver game it feels like i haven't seen the Lakers in over a month. 1 game in like 7 days or so is pretty rough

whats with all the breaks between games... teams need to play two game "series" against eachother.. sometimes back to back... usually a one day gap in between... sometimes 2 day gap... less travel time... better basketball... plus, c'mon it's real fun when teams adjust to eachother from one game to another

This game was much closer then the final score but perhaps this is something we can get used to as the Laker's depth continues to dominate.

Great job by Bynum tonight.

I'll take 3-1 there, figuring NO will be the one loss. 4-0 is possible though.

Agreed, first three quarters was a little frustrating but we finished really strong and I love seeing 17rbs/4blks out of Bynum.

Ship the 4-0 start.

Lakers should be able to rest most of their starters in the second half of the game on the 11th.
