"Drew!" Farmar yelled. "Go to college and learn how to cut your tape off!" Bynum didn't offer any explanation as to why he'd want to take the bus ride from San Diego back to El Segundo with wet tape around his ankles. He just absorbed the heckling from Farmar, who actually is the rookie on the team this season. "I'm younger than he is," Bynum explained.
But Bynum was able to bounce back - he credited Gatorade with re-energizing him - and had enough in his tank to get a hand on the ball and keep a key rebound alive in the final seconds. That helped secure a Lakers victory, even though on an earlier possession, Bynum had asked not to touch the ball when Sasha Vujacic was looking to feed him in the post.
^^Yup...And you missed a GREAT one. Bynum's breakthrough game. he looked so damn dominant down there...FUCK anyone who claimed "Bynum will be a Theo Ratliff type player at best"...This kid is gunna be BIG. Did anyone see the foot-work? Holy shit, Bynum will easily be a 20-10 guy by the time his career is over...I've been waiting for a game like this, in which he keeps his head up, demands the ball, and showcases his dominance (like he did in the SPL)...PeACe

We'll see how he along with all the other young players develop during the season.

It's easy to overrate our own players, after all they're on our team and we want them to succeed.It's a shame to be a Laker fan and think like that...
Yea...But our organization has HUGE expectations for this dude. To be a Laker fan and disregard him as nothing more than the "next Theo Ratliff at best" is pretty much disgraceful...PeACe

His right knee, however, feels "ginger," to borrow Bryant's description, when he pushes off his right leg.
I think Kobe is ready to go, all this shit about still recoring is bullshit...i think he just wants to debute his new # on opening day
