Any basketball fans on here?

Bynum is pretty much the one making the Lakers contenders this year. Jim Buss is still an idiot but his love affair with Bynum is paying off (even if Bynum is an immature jerk). Kobe is slowing turning into Old Kobe and Gasol is Gasol, but they should send tapes of Bynum's game to big man camps. Dude isn't particularly quick or explosive or super-powerful, but he's a big who plays big. None of this 7 foot guard stuff... he gets good post position, can finish in the middle or baseline, and defends the paint.

It sucks to see about Rose. ACLs usually take about two years to come back fully, he'll be able to play again next year but no way he has the same explosiveness. It could force him to evolve his game in the meantime. The East has pretty much opened up for Lebron to take the title anyway. The Heat really shouldn't go more than five games against anyone left in the East and anyone coming out of the West will probably be pretty beat up coming off of two or three brutal playoff series.
