The 2007-08 Los Angeles Lakers thread

[Donald]

He wore his socks in the shower, I guess.

Nice second half for the Lakers to beat the Warriors 123-113 with the starters resting for the second half of the fourth.

Bynum had a GREAT game. Bynum with 20-11-5 blocks...10th double double of the year.

7 guys in double figures.

Ariza was a perfect pickup for this team...good defender and athletic as all hell.

Kobe had 28 points and 8 assists. Odom also with a double double.

Lakers move to 12-8 and keep GS behind them in the standings.

Oh, and they wore their Showtime throwback uniforms...love those big block numbers!

Anyone still think Bynum is going to be traded?

Probably.

He is on a path that is going to make him a great player. I was completely wrong when I thought he was soft mentally...Phil is testing him, too. He recently called him out and this is how the guy responded.

Lakers beat a shorthanded Spurs team, despite playing like manure the entire game. They sleptwalked through that thing. Ugly win...but I'll take it and enjoy the 4 game winning streak. Gonna be tough playing Golden State in their house on the end of a back to back...but I'd love to see this streak get pushed along for awhile.

Bynum got ejected in the third for losing his GD mind after his first tech and he said something, god knows what, but Kobe jumped on him to calm him down and then proceeded to tear the ref apart and I thought he'd get a T himself. While it sucked not having Bynum, I sure did like to see him all fired up. Pop's strategy was to really manhandle him in the game to see how he'd react...lots of shoving and holding and pushing on him. Hope he learns from it.

Kobe said yesterday he's happy as a Laker and he's glad that he was not traded. Mitch said they will continue to look at trades to improve the team, around Kobe. Current drama status...yellow.

At this point, Donald, I'd like to thank you for being a Lakers fan. Finally something other than very very old boring ASU/UofA garbage in here.

I fell asleep at halftime. I blame the Spurs. They are so boring.

You missed Drew's techs then??

Holy crap dude...he looked like he was gonna hit someone, ref or player is unknown. His second tech was called from the opposite baseline, and he was dropping MFbombs as he was taken out of the game. The Lakers proceeded to reel off 6 unanswered points after it, so at least it had some effect. They then went back into sleep mode thugh, until about 8 minutes left in the fourth.

Wow, there is a first time for everything.

Saw it on SC this morning and said, "wow, that is good to see".

Apparently KB liked it too;

Kobe on Bynum getting tossed: "Andrew should be proud of himself," he said. "First ejection. He went out in style."

I actually don't really care that you & abomb (and BIM, and whoever else) are Lakers fans, other than the fact it makes me feel sorry for you. Kinda like if someone I really liked was a Cowboys fan. I'd just feel bad for them. Seems like you're enjoying this season so far, though, so that's cool.

I wasn't even sure who they were talking about at first. Drew sucks for Byrum. It really does.
