once again stats are misleading, the bench actually had plenty of energy this game(ex: sasha came up with what? 3 steals? )

Thats a collective 23% FG shooting. Thats horrible and that can't be denied.

If we win by 14 with those players shooting like that, I'll take that everynight. The bench still played well despite the shooting.

If you actually watched the game, you'd see that the bench played well. You can't judge how people played because of stats.

Dude, I watched the entire game and their stats actually look better than the way they played. Numbers don't lie.

Dude's are guys...something I'm not. Anyways, they still played well. Stop looking for the negatives.

Why can't you choke on my fat d*ck and learn how to ignore me and stop whining like the b*tch that you are whenever I come back.

Your the type of fan that gives the Lakers a bad image.

Can't wait to see how we do tomorrow.

This was a solid win and something we can actually hang our hats on after a string of dreary performances.

Numbers dont lie?? who do you think you are, John Hollinger? give me a break, the bench played well, with lots of energy.

Solid win, next to Portland!

Thats the kind of complacentcy that will get us in trouble. Our bench still under-performs and they get a pass? Our defense allows 100* again and we give a pass? Yeh, ok. We'll cruise right into the Finals without having to play defense UNTIL we come up against a tough defensive eastern conference squad. Celtics/Cavs bench are consistent...ours isn't.

Was it just me, or did Ariza look kinda laxidasical ( however you spell it, sry ) out there tonight? maybe he has the flu or something, cuz that wasnt the Ariza i was expecting out there...

I read that he has a dislocated finger, I may be wrong though.

Yes, our bench has been sporadic this year, up and down, turbulent... whatever, but Bynum coming back gave this team a boost of energy that we needed to get ready for the Playoffs. Cant wait till the 18th!

Who do I think I am? Obviously, I'm one of the few in here that can read and comprehend. The bench didn't play well...FACT. PROVE to me that they played well...I'm waiting...

The bench is supposed to play well at home and they can't even do that!

This bench will be the reason IF we don't win a championship...BET.

lol didnt Walton get a dislocated pinky a few games ago? and on the fly by, Vitti just snapped it back into place, and Luke was fine...?? Ariza, ur tough, take it like a man!

Wasn't able to post during the game but here are my thoughts:

We played great in stretches and our energy and effort on both ends was great. Bynum was great. It will take a couple of weeks for him to get his timing back in blocking shots and grabbing boards but his touch on offense and overall presence helped a lot. One thing I noticed though was that something about the team seemed extremely different with Bynum's return. It was like watching a completely different team. The bench sustained themself out there with Lamar and we were able to provide a much bigger presence in the paint on both ends. Kobe also played great and his shot looked really nice. Seeing Shannon and Jordan basically split minutes was nice too and Shannon played really well on both ends. Before, I thought Shannon could only serve as a garbage time highlight reel but he's giving us solid minutes in a half court set in games that matter. Tomorrow's going to be really difficult but I have confidence.

Great game.
