I'm nervous about Bynum
hopefully he can miss a couple of games and come back after the break at 100%. Last thing we need is a serious injury.
Kobe, on the other hand, I’m just not worried about. I’m glad he’s finally taking the rest.
Lamar = Laker for Life...Go Pads...Go Bolts
I think that is pretty much everyone's sentiment.
I just want Bynum to be okay.

Awe the long season
just long enough to make us worry (esp with Bynum’s injury history), but my hope is that this team (like in 2001) is more built for the playoffs. We’ll see.
Woohoo, I get to look forward to another 7-6 season ("at best") in 2010! There's nothing like going to Idaho for a bowl game.

please stay out until after the all star break and make sure you are fully healthy… thanks you
Ugh, Kaman takes Roy's spot in the ASG over Boozer
http://sports.espn.go.com/los-angeles/news/story?id=4897767
Complete bogus. This is a repeat of the Mo Williams situation — bitch enough to the league that you “deserve” a spot and are being treated unfairly, and Stern will give you the spot over a much more deserving player.
To secure ourselves against defeat lies in our own hands, but the opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself.
i think Kaman somewhat deserves it
can you name another player who deserves more than him? Maybe Russle Westbook but thats all i can think of.
Boozer
It’s not even remotely close between the two:
FG%: Boozer (54.5%), Kaman (49.7%)
TS%: Boozer (59.0%), Kaman (53.4%)
Rebound rate: Boozer (18.5), Kaman (14.5)
Assist rate: Boozer (14.5), Kaman (7.9)
P/40 min: Boozer (22.0), Kaman (22.1)
Usage rate: Boozer (23.1), Kaman (24.8)
So basically, the only thing Kaman does as well as Boozer is score, except Boozer does so way, way more efficiently (hence the higher TS%) with roughly the same number of possessions (hence the similar usage rate). Besides that, Boozer is a far superior rebounder and passer (much higher assist and rebound rates).
Hell, with Kaman’s current numbers, I’d put Love, Landry, or even Bynum ahead of him; he’s really fallen off recently.

Yeah I thought Boozer deserved to be in the game
as much as I hate him, he’s having a solid season
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.
by the way, speaking of Mo Williams
it’s pretty remarkable when you look at the Cavs roster and realize that no one is even close to All-Star level except Lebron. Yet that team is owning the league right now. Testament to how good Lebron has been this year. I’d say right now he’s MVP and it’s not even close.

Yup. All of the role players play within their skill level instead of outside it; something
that Farmar and Brown have a tough time understanding.
Oh noez!
Three missed games! Get Pau out of there!

Thoughts on the rumored Stoudemire-Iguodala swap?
http://espn.go.com/blog/truehoop/post/_/id/12957/suns-take-up-close-look-at-iguodala
Stein has the general parameters there.
Honestly though, if it’s something along the lines of Stoudemire/Richardson for Iguodala/Dalembert, I don’t see how Phoenix turns that down. Dalembert fits into Phoenix’s system, shores up their interior defense, and would work really well with Nash. Iguodala gives them a literally do-it-all wing — he defends superbly and would be excellent in the pace of Phoenix’s offense. I’d say the loss of Stoudemire’s scoring would be more than off-set by the improved defense on the wings and in the interior.

I would do that trade if I were the Suns. Stoudemire is leaving; no doubt about it. Dalembert would
become more than adequate at center with Nash feeding him dimes. AI can do it all. Quite frankly, I think the Suns get better with this trade.
I think the 76ers want Barbosa instead of Richardson which plausible because Richardson is overpayed and probably can’t play alongside Allen Iverson or Lou Williams.
