LMFAO!!!!! Andrew Bynum just yelled at Sasha Vujacic "GIVE ME THE FUCKING BALL!!!" right after Sasha passed up feeding it to Bynum, who established good low-post position...You could hear it on TNT.

HAHAHAH I know that was crazy!! Bynum is playing like a beast to.  At first I thought it was a fan but then I could see Bynum upset at Sasha.  It was so loud to, extremely easy to hear.  Also Nene is looking slow on D tonight, hasnt recovered from last year yet

Bynum-
23 Points, 7 Rebounds, 5 Assists...The future is lookin' great!


PS...Lakers lost the game, but who gives a fuck. Season starts MONDAY and I can't wait with all the hype surrounding our new/young guys.

Damn Bynum... great to see he got such games... outside that, Nik do u think Kobe gonna play the opener ?

It was just the pre-season, but if Bynum could play like that all season

^^Most likely, yes. I'd say it's about 95%...

99%

Loved that back-to-back steal by Farmar. Felt like I was watching an instant replay. Bynum is an beast, he'll be able to hold is own at center for a while. All round good game for the players despite the loss.

Bynum is going to shit on the suns  ..but yeah, i like the way bynum has been playing the last 2 games, demanding the ball and shit....he just needs to do a better job gettin rebounds and playing defense.

And Vlad did not have one good game in the pre-season...hopefully he doesn't get off to a bad start.

[Juronimo]

Bynum looked like a totally different player out there than what he has shown before. Maybe I was wrong? I hope so.

I can't wait until the season starts.

too bad Kobe said it himself (yesterday) that there's only an 85% chance of him playing on opening night.

It doesn't look like Brian Cook is getting that extension 

"Brian Cook's agent, Mark Bartelstein, said Thursday it looks as if his client and the Lakers aren't going to be able to reach a deal for a contract extension. Cook and the Lakers have until Tuesday to finalize a deal. Bartelstein said he has negotiated with Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak and will continue to talk until then. "My guess is that we probably won't get something done," Bartelstein said in a phone interview. Riverside Press-Enterprise

"I'm not disappointed in how things have gone," said Cook, who had 13 points in the Lakers' 126-108 exhibition loss to the Denver Nuggets at the Honda Center. "I want to be here with the Lakers. But no matter what happens, I'll be good." Cook started 46 games last season. With injuries to centers Kwame Brown (right shoulder rotator cuff bruise) and Chris Mihm (recovering from right ankle surgery), Cook, a 6-foot-9 forward, becomes a primary big man for the Lakers this season. "Going into free agency is not something he's afraid of," Bartelstein said. "If he has a good season, it'll be good for him." Riverside Press-Enterprise"

Word, I made those comments before it was reported. TNT reported he was playing for sure last night, but I also read reports of his knee still feeling "ginger" these last few days... Who knows?...PeACe

That only means he has to EARN his money now, which is a good thing...I'd prefer to keep him, he's an extremely potent offensive weapon on an uprise...PeACe
