Re: The Lakers' Bench The Bench really came through tonight and played fonomanal. Especially Bynum,Vlad Rad, and Evans. Bynum came up huge with numberous blocks including a block on Garnett. The bench combined had 51 points all-together in tonight's win over the T-Wolves. :rock: Now that is what you call a team effort.
Re: The Lakers' Bench Damn, I only saw a few minutes of the 3rd quarter and they were down...Congrats Lakers on another victory though. I love it when the bench makes a big impact.
Re: The Lakers' Bench That was what I call domination, and Kobe wasn't even on the court. For those of you who didn't see the game, the Lakers went down by 12 with 2 and a half minutes left in the third. Kobe went out. Suddenly the Lakers go on a 25-3 run over the next 12 minutes, Kobe wasn't even on the court for 11 of them. The lineup was Bynum, Radmanovich, Evans, Sasha, and Farmar. Every one of them contributed and severely beat their counterpart in that stretch. It was great basketball to watch.This basically sums it up.1st Quarter: Lakers-26 T'wolves 292nd Quarter: Lakers 33 T'wolves 283rd Quarter: Lakers 18 T'wolves 304th Quarter: Lakers 34 T'wolves 7

I wondered how the game looked like a blowout at the end. Great job bench.They were down by like 10 or so when I checked in the 3rd quarter.Gotta love the Lakers.
Re: The Lakers' Bench We owned them in the fourth. Our bench stepped up big time. It looks like Vlad is getting his touch back, while Evans is still performing well and Sasha's confidence is rising big time.
Re: The Lakers' Bench Sasha must have given one of his infamous inspirtational speeches...But really, its really good to know that basicly eveyone on the bench can step up their game when its needed, and not always rely on Kobe to win...Not that Kobe couldn't...
Re: The Lakers' Bench I didn't see the game but I read about it and I am very impressed with the performance of the bench. They appear to be getting better and better as the season goes on. As much as I hate Odom being out, it might have been the best thing for the team. Especially being early in the season. Our bench players are getting more time and performing well. Great Stuff.....P.S. - I do wish we would stop having to make comebacks in the 4th quarter though.

Bynum played pretty well in front of his home crowd in Jersey, and both Farmar and Evans played with an urgancy and really helped them get the win. If they keep it up we might have to come up with a nickname for the bench.
