two things to look at
Quick PG’s (Baron Davis) & Bynum vs some better centers than he has played in the pre season

Lakers 3/17 and down 13...

I just want to see Bynum play all 82 games and he looks like he is player better than he has in any pre-season that I have ever see.

he would join the dunk contest. This was in his exit interview when he didn’t know if the Lakers would resign him.

At first I though it read University of My Ass. LOL. Yeah, he was supposed to be pretty good. I hope he gets a spot. I mean Sun Yue got a friggin’ ring last year. He looks a lot better than Sun Yue.
You like my new signature?

He’s almost there.
West: 25,192
Abdul-Jabbar: 24,176
Bryant: 23,820
Baylor: 23,149
He should make it this year.

You are right..
he was drafter 13 and traded for Vlade. I would of never imagined that.

considering he traveled of course.

he travelled cause he got fouled.

i didnt see that foul on the kobe circus shot
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.
Blake grriffin is 6'7 at the most
this guy is too small for power forward and will not be a dominate force cause of that
hah good one
the guy looks like a shrimp on the court…
and there is absolutly no way he is 6’10
he is 6’8 at the MOST and i doubt he is even that..
hes like michael beasley of last year.. beasley was 6’10 throughout his whole college career but at the combine they found out he was barely 6’8 if even that… Griffin is the same
by matthewmafa on Oct 18, 2009 10:47 PM PDT up reply actions
Actually Griffin came out at 6'10 in the combine
He’s just proportioned. Most big guys have awkward proportions which make them look bigger…lanky arms neanderthal shoulders etc…
Griffin just has a normal proportion which is also why he can be so athletic.
wow
he came out the combine 6’8
please dont say BS
I see RonRon and Lamar Odom....
attended the same “touch on a layup” class as teenagers.

So is it just me or is Farmar conveniently not passing to Shannon Brown?
Must be a coincidence…..
Billy Mac: "Lamar, can you see yourself actually getting in the (boxing) ring"?
Lamar Odom: "No. My face is too pretty."
No, he and Shannon have a good connection, he just thought about it too much
I didn’t seem like Davis had committed to a player

Good answer....
What about the other 4 plays this quarter?
I decided to watch Farmar this game when he and Brown are on the court together. It’s way beyond coincidence now.
Billy Mac: "Lamar, can you see yourself actually getting in the (boxing) ring"?
Lamar Odom: "No. My face is too pretty."
That's just Farmar
We used to say that he was ignoring Kobe on the break too, remember?

So you're saying it's OK, cause he has always ignored his teammates?
I see him running the offense effectively, but whenever he has an open pass to Shannon, he looks for option 2. We could argue this for hours, but I have NEVER seen anything from Farmar to make me think he isn’t a selfish pompous ass.
Billy Mac: "Lamar, can you see yourself actually getting in the (boxing) ring"?
Lamar Odom: "No. My face is too pretty."
Nope, not saying it's ok, just saying it's not personal with Shannon Brown

Is it just me.........
or have most of our pre-season ???‘s turned into !!!’s
Billy Mac: "Lamar, can you see yourself actually getting in the (boxing) ring"?
Lamar Odom: "No. My face is too pretty."
Will Bynum be back? Um, yeah!
Will Ammo be back? Um, yeah!
Will RonRon be able to play within the system? Um, yeah!
Will Sasha cut his hair be back? Um, yeah!
I realize it’s pre-season, but nonetheless everything seems pretty good to me so far.
Billy Mac: "Lamar, can you see yourself actually getting in the (boxing) ring"?
Lamar Odom: "No. My face is too pretty."
hmmmmm
a) not likely
b) that brings up an interesting point. It would be cool if SB Nation had a feature where you could flag comments, make a note about that comment and then return to it later. For example keep track of this comment somewhere so I can remember who to pick on when it doesn’t happen. That would be cool.
They don’t have that yet do they?
Billy Mac: "Lamar, can you see yourself actually getting in the (boxing) ring"?
Lamar Odom: "No. My face is too pretty."
Talk is cheap
But hey anything’s possible.
My standard response when it comes to predictions like this -
IF you are so sure that the Clippers will win the home opener, take the following actions:
1. Go to your bank or ATM
2. Withdraw most of the money in your account, but leave enough to pay for any expenses in the next few weeks
3. Make the drive to any Las Vegas hotel with a sportsbook
4. Place a bet on the Clippers money line versus the Lakers, where you will get good odds and probably get anywhere from 120% to 200% return on your money
5. Enjoy your winnings, instead of posting predictions on SSR without any follow up analysis or discussion
Good Luck!

LOL....we all know he won't do that.
If you were writing a paper on this subject you might title it The innocuous nature of irrational predictions.
If the Lakers win he doesn’t look that bad because of course the Lakers should win.
If the Clippers win he looks like a genius and claims to be one until the end of time.
I used to do this as a card trick. Simply fan out a deck and ask someone to pick a card. When they do you immediately guess the card. Of course you will be wrong most of the time, but you just laugh and say “you didn’t really think I could do that did you”? However, if you happen to get it right they will talk about it all night.
