    No, I said without Bynum they are not some dominant Powerhouse team.

    They still just above average defense and allow all the penetration in the world. Pau and Odom are still soft. It's really simple when it comes to them, if Kobe can't hit a shot or you slow down Kobe...they are nothing special and are on par with most Western teams.

    :rolleyes: Yeah i'm a Kobe Apologist.

    I'm wondering who actually saw the game. Chris had about 7 blocks, and made play after play in the post. The stats don't show that he was tougher than any big the Lakers put out there.

    while odom and gasol are quite soft.....apparently what i can see from the game that these guys still won a ton of offensive boards....a zillion of second chance opportunity for the Lakers, unfortunately the birdman was havin fun out there at the post

    So you will trade Gasol or Odom for Chris "tough guy" Anderson? The whole lakers played badly why is it always Gasol and Odom's fault? I guess Kobe is soft too cos he shot jumpers after jumpers without going strong to the basket like a man?

    Dude dominated down low, that's just the point. He went to the line more than Odom and Gasol combined, had 7 blocks and about 11 rebounds I think. This is not even counting the hustle plays (i.e tip outs mainly) he made.

    All i'm saying is...they're not unbeatable without Bynum. Their bigs can be exposed, and if we were to play them without Bynum, i'd like our chances more than a lot of other teams. Most of the night Odom and Gasol were whining to the refs about every single call any ways.

    lol, yes because I said that in my post.

    The nuggets didn't exactly play well either. It's funny because yesterday everyone was whining about how the Rockets got no respect for beating the Cavs, and this is the same stuff. The Lakers just having a 'Bad night' I guess the Cavs had a bad night last night.

    Only bad news if we lose, if we win they will have gained no ground.
