    He has a tear or something in his ankle.

    More burn for Shannon + Ariza.

    If Bynum can step up and log in more minutes as our big, we could even shift Odom to the 3.

    Normally he gets just 24-30 minutes a game if Drew is playing normal.

    He actually has been playing pretty well lately.

    Tough break, I hope he gets better. But we'll manage.

    He has? :confused:

    He'll be out a week. Finally some PT for Josh Powell. Lakers could certainly use another active rebounder. We're one of the five worst rebounding teams in the playoffs thus far. In the regular season we led the league in rebounds per game. We need to get back to being an elite rebounding unit.

    He ended the season respectably I thought. We can still replace him though by using Shannon/Trev/Sasha/Powell/etc. more.

    Powell was the one disappointing me towards the latter half of the year, became anemic on offense and didn't look like he did much on D either.

    Yeah, what huevon said.

    Luke always struggles against Harpring, not really surprised. I wish him the best, but like I said, we will manage.

    Bad for Luke, good for the Lakers. This is the same guy that couldn't make the Rockets pay for guarding him with Luther Head. SOFT!
