Lawson had 9 points...Calm down...Originally Posted by knightngale
smh @ fisher getting praised for his only good play in 5 games
I know he is slow and old but he was also playing rookie defense biting on every little move by Lawson
MR J 858:
Agreed. IMO, this will keep Kobe playing well all around for more years. Kobe needs this different element he needs to be checked more on his errors.Originally Posted by Bean Pie Slanga
Denver were averaging 111 until today. We straight 89'in teams with Mike Brown.
I love how he calls out Kobe (without words). Dude will call a quick timeout after a poor decision by Kobe that leads to points. Also, vs the Knicks when Kobe had almost all 3rd qtr points, he called Kobe out during the pre-4th interview saying "We need to move the ball around on offense"..... LOVE IT.
For me, Mike Brown is already a better coach than Phil was......................................................................................... in the regular season.

I'm confused with what Brown did with Ebanks and now Barnes. So Ebanks starts early, then Bynum comes back and he sits?Barnes couldn't play the first couple games much, now he's starting. Was it a shape issue or something? I'm havin a hard time figurin out Brown's patterns like I had Phil. I had P Jax down cold. Now I'm confused every possession.
Kobe hits 28,000 points tomorrow. Or, maybe it gets adjusted to 14K, Vanessa gets the other half.
Was there anything ever said about if his wrist will get better thru the year? Or does he have to play with it messed up for the next 6 months? He certainly won't get much rest for it during the year, hell, the most rest he will get will actually be in the playoffs when they go back to a normal schedule.
I think Barnes was just behind the depth chart because Ebanks had played so well in training camp-preseason and MWP was penciled in as the backup. I guess it took two subpar games for Brown to bench Ebanks in favor of Barnes, who's played well when given the playing time.Originally Posted by CP1708

Essential1:
No matter how good Bynum will be even if he puts up 25 & 13 all year.. We have to trade him...
The injury risk is just too much... And D12 could come to LA & get injured every year, but I like his chances with no injury history than Tin Man Bynum no matter how good he plays.. He could put up Wilt numbers and we would still have to trade him
All of that. Well, except for the Wilt part; if he puts up Wilt numbers, I'll finally agree with all of you who say we should keep him.Otherwise, I agree with all of that.

Also Fisher +10. Blake -7.. Lawson -13..
We are appreciating Fish's hustle and his basketball IQ.. That's all... No one says and no one needs him to be DRose out there.
And the fact of the matter is even though we were bailed out by terrible play by the Nuggets in the last few minutes.. Had Fisher not hustled to save the ball from going out of bounds put up a desperation three to beat the shot clock, then ran across court to get the ball, Lawson had a free lane to take the ball on a fast break and put the Nuggets up 4 with about 2:20 left, and with the way things were going we would have lost.

I am so paranoid that I rarely enjoy Bynum's games that much because I get worried about his knees.Originally Posted by Essential1

No one is saying both.. At least not just for Howard..
But the consensus is Bynum has to be traded... Not because he's not good enough... But because we need to get the INJURY POSSIBILITY off our minds...
Every year since 09 has been Bynum is a stud player, he is the second best center in the league, can do it on offense and defense, he gives the Lakers great height, and makes them a difficult team to defeat... If he can stay healthy...
And it's never if he gets injured... It is when... If Bynum can go for the next 74 days play great and doesn't get injured and we can get rid of Bynum and Barnes + Trade Exception & Pick for D12 & Hedo I'd do it before Otis can finish the name of the Second Player we'd be getting..
Bynum is 24 and has worse knees than Kobe... And not to mention he is a big man who are even more susceptible for knee problems.. D12 is 2 years older, a far better player.. And has no injury history.. Since 04 he's only missed 7 games...
No one is downgrading Bynum's skills at all.. We all think he is a great player... And if he only had 1 year of injury problems as opposed to missing large portions of the season for the last 4 years none of us would want to trade Bynum...
As for Pau I'd trade him for Scola & Lowry if the trade was there... I'd take a decrease in scoring from the 4 (Notice Scola is just as good on the boards and defensively as Pau, much more aggressive and tougher as well).. For an increase in Scoring, Defense & Passing Ability from the 1.
Not idiotic to decrease your talent at 1 position to vastly improve your talent in 2 other positions..
