    He's been choking lately.

    He is what he is.

    Jordan Hill is their only untouchable asset this summer.

    And some Laker fans think he's a diamond in the rough. Its like they've never seen a player with at least some grit in the paint since Shaq left.

    Choking? He was totally solid, coming off the bench and getting a bunch of offensive rebounds.

    Bynum was virtually a no-show for game 5. Hill could have easily replaced him, for some fast athleticism off the bench.

    Best of luck to Jordan Hill. But it's looking like he might just be the rough.

    I hope they sign him to be their future PF.

    Hill did fine. But he's not a difference maker.

    It takes many years for a big man to develop. I talked to Jerry West about it. Buss has gotta learn. Their loss.

    The Lakers where all-in and played their best players in an elimination game, too bad for them that Bynum, being the headcase he is, was already shouting Cancun.

    He picked up 3 quick fouls in a 4 min span late in the first (although the third was clearly on Kobe). Foul trouble had a lot to do with his limited mins last night.

    Nice.

    Not necessarily the usual choking in his playing of basketball, but literally choking.

    Hope they sign Jordan Hill long-term this summer. After the trade, it's like he woke up and suddenly realized his NBA career was at stake. He will turn back into a lazy pumpkin once the ink is dry.
