I can't lie. I like Bynum. I hate the Lakers... don't get me wrong. But I am starting to like Bynum! Did you see that block he had on Emeka the other night? Damn! Gonna be awesome watching Greg and Andrew bump heads for years.
here is the link http://www.nba.com/video/channels/top_plays/2008/10/21/nba_20081021_top10pod.nba/?player=whatsnew It is the #1 play of the day. Or #2 I cannot remember
Can't wait 'til him and Greg tip it off! One of these guys on here has the countdown. It drives me nuts every time I see it.
nope cant like him, only players i like or blazers or former blazers that didnt rip the blazers when they left.
When was the last time two talented big men went against each other in the NBA, with teams who were rivals and in the same conference and the two centers were in their early 20's? Nothing really comes to mind. It was always Ewing's Knicks vs. Jordan's Bulls, Shaq had Hakeem but Hakeem was much older and wiser..
I'm hoping Oden vs Bynum will be the big thing to watch in a couple years. It makes for better drama and it will help both guys develop better games IMO.
That's right... forgot about the Admiral. Though Hakeem took him to school so many times on the block, it wasn't even funny. The Admiral had no clue what Hakeem was going to do next!
Me too. I wish Portland had drafted him instead of Webster. Unlike a Chris Paul, he wouldn't have made enough difference to really change where Portland finished the next two seasons.
Yup. Overall, Robinson outperformed Olajuwon in head-to-head matchups and his Spurs teams won more of the Spurs/Rockets games. Olajuwon had one amazing series against Robinson; Olajuwon should be credited for that series, but it didn't really reflect how they generally matched up.
^who is JQ, and Ill agree except for the last two games....He has been put in a lot of weird lineups by Phil. Lakers preseason is just different it seems than other teams with the weird things PJ does Lakers preseason is on TNT tonight so you guys can check out the twin towers for yourself
You guys definitely have a nice two headed monster. Forgot you guys also have Mihm. Kind of disappeared over the last couple of years because of injuries but thought he was a servicable big man. Match ups are pretty damn good for Tuesday's game Kobe>Roy Blake=Farmer/Fisher Odom?Walton>Batum Gasol= LMA (slight edge to Gasol although I believe LMA outplayed Gasol head to head last year) Oden=Bynum (tossup who knows how this matchup will go) Bench Blazer>Lakers (to me Rudy is the difference maker) Coach Phil>Nate (hard to argue when Phil has won so many championships) Homecourt Lakers>Blazers (although Blazers play well against Lakers no matter where they play)
^Well your probably wrong on the probable Lakers lineup. Vlad Rad is probably going to be our starting SF and if not him then Ariza. Odom is coming off the bench so factor that we are now having a 14/10 player coming off the bench. Our 2nd string is going to run run run and its no secret. Farmar, Odom, and Sasha will be hauling ass when they get in the game. Chris Mihm looks to have made huge strides in coming back. He says he is pain free for the first time in two years and it shows. He has been doing great going after rebounds for the most part. PS...Is it too early to get a game thread going?
Greg and Bynum's stats have looked pretty similar, but Greg has done it on less touches I think. Bynum is good, and just because he plays for the piss and lavander doesn't mean we should bash him. It's not like he raped anyone in Colorado or anything.
