Hell yeah.

Oho! Bruddahman thought he could ninja one on us.

bruddahman doesn't know what chu talkin' bout.

No way. If CHI plays BOS or MIA... you better be SURE I'll actively root for Chicago.

Yes you can. I played an entire half of football in high school on a torn ACL.[/quote]

Anatomically impossible. Do you understand the function of the ACL?

Anyways, hyperextensions don't result in torn ACLs, he might have a bone bruise like Pau.

ACL tears happen on twisting type knee injuries...[/quote]

Wrong. Especially in a brace. The slightest twist or firing of the quad not in time with the knee tendons can cause a tear. When you hyperextend, your quad tries to overcompensate and can cause a twist along with the trauma and cause a tear to either the ACL or the PCL.

For anyone who wants to see Bynum's injury, here it is:

+1 (also if OKC meets one of those two in the finals)

This just makes me hate this team so much more for not trying in some of these late games against Utah and GS. Unbelievable.

Matt Barnes cant move his knee and is out tomorrow night.

All of this on my 35th birthday. Man, I feel old right now.

Happy birthday young man. Sorry it has to come during a sad occaision...

Well, this is more like it.

Thanks, and no worries. Lakers are already playing better since I posted that.

Lamar with the starters is going to make us more dynamic offensively. The cost is going to be on the defensive end with no true anchor in the paint.

pau plays defense like a little kitten

Really?

Well, that's irrelevant. Because we have Luke who will play some extra minutes and deliver.

I know Pau isn't a 'bang bodies' type of post defender, but I am so sick of his hand tag defense.

karacha you rly think we can go deep with pau at the 5? he cnt even rebound over blair on either end

That's the new way to play the game, but the refs and the fans haven't adjusted yet.

Hahaha. I see what you did there.

Yes, better have some humor...

Blair is just shredding our post players.

If we pick up Eddy Curry, Brian Butch and Brian Zoubek with Theo, Joe Smith and Caracter, we can go hockey style subsitutions and we will be fine.

These refs are unbelievable

"They are without Kobe Bryant now..."

Who cares? We have Shannon Brown. And Luke is in the game.

At this point, it's almost as if the Lakers were treating that 17-1 run as though it was the playoffs. "16 to win" type mentality. They're in the offseason now.

its like pau forgot how to box out
