lol, the fact that we clinched a playoff spot isn't making me too worried just starting to get a little concerned.

Bynum's being a typical 25 y/o millionaire. That is, an asshole. Its like Kobe being belligerent all over again.

Took a 3 during a game.
Coach benched him for the rest of the game
Said publicly he would shoot it again against coach's wishes.
Asked about being in the huddle and said he is resting getting his zen back for the game.

He shot a 3-pointer? Was it during a blow-out? Don't remember the results from the recent Lakers games.

Nope, middle of a game. Wasn't a blowout.

Cool huh? He also blew off a meeting with Mitch Kupchak to add to that.

Typical bullcrap...the dude's head is getting too big. I think doesn't like the perceived pecking order (Kobe, Pau, then Bynum).

Typical 'I wanna be the man' bull. I can see his point though...Kobe takes WAY too many shots for my taste. But there's no need to act like that.

full-retard is a good way to put it. I was watching it live with some friends and that was a shared 'WTF' moment.

Look how much time was on the shot clock!! oh man....

I've never liked the kid tbh. He's talented, but he just seems to be an immature prick. I'm sure everyone remembers that dirty shot to Barea in the play offs last season.

^^he's had a couple of plays like that now. Against G. Wallace and Mike Beasley....I think Wallace was out for a month with broken ribs. Let's not forget he parked his modded M6 in a handicapped spot at the grocery store.

I think he's a great asset to have on the basketball court, but he's not anywhere near legendary or HOF status. I have a hard time putting Dwight or any modern center in that conversation.

oh no, it not about basketball or the heat. I thought the sentence was really choppy or missing a bunch of word....

Until I read a couple of times. Now it makes more sense:

Hopefully they don't play the "we-want-to-play-from-behind-game-so-we-can-make-things-more-challenging" style of play.
I read it straight through the first time....stupid me.

It's been an awesome, awesome, physical game. I loved it, but I'm so disappointed the Thunder couldn't pull through.

That was easily an offensive foul, but everyone loves his dunks.

Oh well...I'll take the win.

Just watched the entire Clips/Lakers game. Crazy game, very entertaining. That was definately an offensive foul but meh, it was still a sick dunk. Pau got him back later with a clean block in crunch time. Still upsets me how the Laker's continue to just let leads vanish...

Lakers need to suspend his ass without pay. Maybe trade him for Dwight Howard during the offseason.

Won't happen now that Howard has signed another season.

That & Kobe would throw shit fest if they got rid of Bynum since he seems keen on wanting Fisher & Odom back, despite that not being his decision.
