Only 2 points, 5 fouls, but like 11 boards and 5 blocks. Looked good defensively.

Pryzzy fouled out, which is rare, and Blazers ran with LMA at Center, which is always a mess.

He also had 7 TOs, I think it was, which was a disaster.

Tough call.

My sense is they overpaid by about 15-20% given the direction of the market.

The calculated risk is that Mark Cuban wouldn’t make a max offer to bring LMA back to Dallas, where he is from.

Then again, if Hedo is worth $50M, the case can be made for LMA at $65M.

I missed practically all the second half

How did it go? Bynum’s stat line implies he was a beast, and that Kobe was in the game so much either means that 1) he was trying to match LeBron’s stat line or 2) the bench was horrible.

And before people think this was entirely unsatisfying, remember that 1) we’re still getting adjusted to Artest 2) we had no Pau 3) the Clippers are a borderline playoff team with all that talent and 4) we had no Pau.

To secure ourselves against defeat lies in our own hands, but the opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself.

Bynum was a beast without even seeming like a beast. Seriously. When he actually explodes, some day, he’ll have the potential for 40/20.

The 3rd quarter was a huge disappointment, and it wasn’t really the bench. It was more just not really taking the game seriously, coasting, etc. Lost of sloppy play. Looked like volleyball, at times.

But yeah, in the end, I personally thought it was a good night.

Sounds good

At least from the first half, Bynum’s footwork was what impressed me the most. Compare him to say Howard and there’s absolutely no comparison between their skill level on the offensive end. Bynum simply needs to get his lift back, but even without that, he’s an All-Star caliber player.
