(1) Lakers Vs. (3) Suns

[atlwarrior]

Of course is Bynum is the better rebounder and blocker. Hes 7'0 285 lbs imo he should be doing better. He's soft for a person at his size though.

[shadowgrin]

You do realize that he's playing alongside a talented player in Gasol and that might have an effect on Bynum's production.
I won't bother about Bynum being soft and whether he will contribute more or suck if he played in a different system/team.

[Vl@d Zola Jr.]

Using good strategy, Suns bigmen will dominate LAL's. I would even consider Amar'e-Frye to be twin-towers on the defensive end rather than Bynum-Gasol... Amar'e will dominate on the offensive end, Frye shoots 3-Pointers. Amar'e should play vs. Bynum on D, 'cause he's more powerful than Frye to push that "bag of shit" out of the ring. And Frye should be able to cope with Pau. It'll be also good to use bench bigmen, who are actually bigger, than starting , if LAL's ones start heating up. I hope, Lopez is OK by the start of the series.
Artest will certainly dominate Grant "Over The" Hill. But the guy can shoot well on offense from the perimeter.
J-Rich vs. Kobe - that's the most interesting Kobe is obviously better, but J can make a better pass and shoot the 3. I suppose, it'll be all about defense - who Ds better - he will win.
Nash The Pirate... I simply like this guy. He's the best. mmm... until Dragic comes off the bench and starts making every shot, like in the 3rd game vs. SAS. So, yes, Goran is the secret weapon )))

So, yep, Go, Suns, Go! My bet is Suns in 6, 'cause of Kobe and injured Lopez.
I'm also going to watch a couple of games on-line, although they are shown at 3-4 am according to my local time

PS: What does "douchebag" exactly mean?

PPS: I know, that many consider Lakers to win. But Suns will win in 6.

That in fact may be true but since the guy also stays in foul trouble Idk though maybe it does have a negative effect on his production.

Bynum really is overrated.

[benji]

How is he overrated? By whom? In what manner?

[Jackal]

Random manure. + Useless comment?

I know you're not a Jazz fan. You're a fan of a team with zero front court presence. Hence the reference. At least you can dream about having Gasol on the Bobcats. Comparing Dwight Howard & Andrew Bynum is like comparing Kobe Bryant and Michael Redd. Dwight Howard is a superstar. Andrew Bynum is a 7 footer with a decent game, not a superstar. That you'd even compare the two shows you're a moron.

If you believe those guys are better than Bynum good for you, some of them are actually PF's but all right, whatever floats your boat.

It's nice to see you're capable of using the bold function, good for you?

I know he bolds in every post. but why? Thats all i wanna know. Not tryin to be funny.

Same reason you choose to smoke weed and brag about it on a forum? I feel like it? Not tryin' be funnay.

Well Atwalrya went on some insane rant about him being overrated so it must be true. Let's just follow the trend and say Andrew Bynum is overrated. Dont ask me how to actually back this claim up, but he's overrated mmkay? Mmkay.

Im sorry are you mad at me. .

[Jackal]

I have no reason to be.

[Dee.]

Im not saying hes overrated because atlwarya9 said that.
At least from what i saw,on some forums and webs,people are really hyping Bynum,he is pretty good,but not as good as some people say,hes a bit better then a regular NBA starting center,hes far away from being a star.

He's the 8th best center in the NBA. There I said it.

behind (in no order): Dwight, Lee, Duncan, Horford, Al Jeff, Kaman, and B. Lopez

In other words, "some argue/say..."

Kaman

Good one.

[dare]

Bynum is a great center when Gasol is not playing with him.

proof

His great until Pau gets back in mid december. Surely having a great bigman around will affect your play

[benji]

I don't know if that's proof, he was just playing more minutes and took an extra shot. I couldn't be assed to do the exact split, but still:

Month	P/36	R/36	B/36	TS%	Shots/36
Oct-Nov	18.7	10.4	2.0	.607	15.4
Dec-Mar	17.5	9.7	1.6	.609	14.4

Extra shot, extra point. Extra half a block, extra half a rebound because he was the only real interior player.

[dare]

Well I'm not a stat guy like you benji but thanks for showing that

[benji]

I checked because if you notice on that game log, he's playing 35 mpg at least almost every night, often getting up around 40. He doesn't do that the rest of the season, dropping to about 28 mpg, especially after mid January struggling to top 30 minutes many nights let alone reaching up around 35.

It's all because he struggles to find his game due to Gasol's presence

[benji]

Or because they don't have to play him as much when they have their best player?

I just forgot to add that

[Rip32]

Kaman

Good one.

lol he's from West Michigan, I'm biased.

[g4ns0_]

Suns will win, with Barbosa making 20PPG

[Lean]

I really don't know who to pick in this series...

As much as I hate the Lakers, can't really pick against them if they're playing like this.

[Andrew]

Jeff Van Gundy basically picked a Lakers sweep during the Cavs/Celtics game today.

[benji]

This is what the Lakers have to stop.

[NovU]

This is what the Lakers have to stop.

They ran it to a perfection in the series against the Spurs. That was just sickening how the Spurs D could fail so hard. I underestimated PHX because of their struggle against undermanned Blazers in the first round, but I am guessing they do have a good chance at this series against the Lakers. It'll take more efforts than last round though.
