    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>The pick-up games are starting heat up at the Lakers Training Facility as more and more guys trickle in from their off-season resting places. Today saw regulars Luke Walton, Andrew Bynum, Brian Cook, Chris Mihm, Sasha Vujacic, and Jordan Farmar joined by Maurice Evans, Javaris Crittenton, Vladimir Radmanovic, & Coby Karl. Here&rsquo;s some quick observations:</p>
    <ul>[*]Farmar and Crittenton spent most of the morning matching-up against each other on opposing teams. Both showed an aptitude to run the show and push the ball.
    [*]Brian Cook took the ball down low whenever he touched it. He&rsquo;s been working on his post moves over the summer and looks a lot more comfortable with the ball in the block.
    [*]Vladi&rsquo;s outside shot was falling.
    [*]Sasha and Vladi have traded haircuts from last season. Sasha is sporting the shaggy look while Radman has it buzzed close.
    [*]Andrew Bynum has been in the weight room during the summer and it&rsquo;s noticeable. He finished off one game with a monster alley-oop from Luke Walton and let out an exuberant scream.
    [*]Luke Walton, Maurice Evans, & Jordan Farmar stayed after the games broke up to work on their outside shooting.</div>[/list]

    There's also a picture of Bynum dunking on Mihm.</p>

    Man they look big but lets hope he brings that to the season. I have a feeling that the Lakers are going to be good this year.</p>

    Bynum does look pretty solid in those pictures. Hopefully with that leg strength he can hold his own in the post.

    I think the guys took what Kobe said about the team and turned it around to inspire them to get better</p>

    of course we can't tell til it translates onto the court during season, but as of right now, I'm proud of them...despite the dancing</p>
