What a surprise! : Bynum blasts Lakers/Kobe

karacha wrote:Bynum and healthy should not even belong in the same sentence. Thank god we have Dwight now, because without Bynum and Pau, not to mention Nash... we'd be in an even bigger hole. We'd have Sacre and Hill starting. With no backups. Ugh. At least Dwight gives you solid D, blocked shots, 18/12 a game, and... he doesn't miss games in general.

Actually Hill is out too, so it would be Sacre and Jamison. Either way both lineups would be terrible.

There needs to be some rule or law to prevent crap like that. Twisting someone's words into harmful statements that could change the opinions of others is really low class and desperate.

the only thing that "stunted" his development was his knees.

Surprise! ESPN exaggerating as usual...

How come everyone blames Bynum's comment ? It's completely the truth. It's fact that Kobe is a ballhog. Our big guys barely can touch the ball, especially in 4th quarter. D12 must have the same feeling. It's sad that the best two big men in the league are only having 10 shots per game. Everyone here only blames them not playing good in defense and bad FT shooting.

lol

Not a big deal.

Bad FT shooting matters though.

Last year you would've had a pont. This year its an entirely different story.

Bynum: Dwight's great, but he's going to have to get accustomed to playing w Kobe and not touching ball every single play.

Bynum on the Dwight Howard trade: "Personally, I think they traded No. 1 for No. 2."

That wasnt a blast. That is the truth. There is no way he was going to get as many touches with Kobe on the floor. Besides, Kobe and Dwight did not seem to bothered him. Kobe and Bynum where all huggin it up after the game, and him and Dwight were dappin it up as well.

Thought he was honest. Would have been the easy road to not say anything but that has never been his style.

The part about calling himself #1 and D12 #2...well, he is a competitor and he is supposed to think that he is the best.

Hope he gets healthy soon.

at its finest!

but seriously, how is this "blasting kobe and the lakers?" he's right, howard is getting less touches than he did in orlando because he's playing alongside guys like kobe and pau. no blasting here

A twitter follower asked him why he left the Lakers and signed with the Clippers. He point blank said "Mike Brown". Ouch.

Yeah. How selfish of Kobe to lower his FGA from last season and take soooo many shots away from Howard that he's right at his career average in FGA.

That selfish ballhog.

That about sums up Bynum's statements.

Nothing wrong with what Bynum said. If he meant the trade was the #1 and #2 centers in the league (without actually saying which is which), then he's right....if he was implying he was #1 and Dwight was #2, it's up for debate.

Drew can't talk about who's the best Center right now He hasn't seen the court since before his hair was perm-able.

As for his comments, eh. Kobe needs the ball a lot to be effective, but that doesn't mean Howard has to get used to touching the ball less. Kobe just needs to shoot the ball, Dwight can touch the ball every time down the floor and Kobe can still shoot it.

I've noticed they're running the offense through Dwight much more lately which has helped find more open looks for everyone. I like it.

It wasn't a very good attempt at being sarcastic. Cuz I along with others here thought you were serious.

After reading the title of the thread..... and the comments I am amazed that I found a reasonable comment in here.....

It seems every center that has played here complains about touches..... from the "Big Dog" comment of a decade ago to Pau's whining.... even Dwight has alluded to it.... Where's the news?

Bad FT shooting matters though.

9/29 FG doesn't matter ?

D12 has spoken to the media that we need to share the ball. Actually it's the word to Kobe.
