C's got to face a Bynumless Lakers team last year when the Lakers biggest weakness was a defensive anchor in that series. Also it was obvious this whole postseason he wasn't even near 100%.

If you're going to be play that game, be fair then.

Bynum is really very overrated. He has length and mass. Thats about it. His post moves are so basic and its a joke considering who he has to teach him 1 on 1 for the last 4 yrs.

Starting next season he will be the most overpaid player in the league until he proves otherwise. Everyone said Bynum was the missing piece but this yr it clearly shows that they didn't need him to win it. Bynum actually held back the lakers in some games by picking up so many fouls so quick and getting murdered. The lakers won this yr not because of having Bynum. They just have more experience and faced a weaker team this yr.

It almost seems like the lakers wants to manuafacture a new star big man by paying him star $.

that's really a bunch of bull. That was not the lakers biggest weakness last year. Bynum is garbage. People have to get this in their heads already. The lakers biggest weakness last year was their offense. They harrassed Kobe all series long with posey smothering him and making the lakers offense collapse and flounder under pressure. Eberytime the C's got down they turned on the defensive switj and it was lights out for the lakers after that. To spew this nonsense about the c's being lucky to play the lakers without bynum is bull. The lakers this year were fortunate to play either overated or undisciplined teams.

Ariza was injured last year too for the playoofs. He was an integral part of the playoff run this year. (I'm not saying the Lakers would have won with Ariza last year.....)

There was a nice piece about Ariza in SI a couple of weeks ago.

 

[hoopsfan]

Didn't know that. I don't read SI.
