    Should have been 10 game minimum because he has showed a pattern, NBA very weak on this. And if I was commissioner I would now fine him an additional $100,000 for lying in his latest statement: he said "this is not me", when obviously after doing it at least three times, this is you Andrew Bynum!

    A little nudge-nudge-wink-wink by the league.

    The exact opposite of Bynum's cowardly bullying of a smaller player, here's my favorite ex-Blazer bringing down a Goliath nearly twice his size:

    A hard foul during the course of a game is not the same thing as a cheap shot intended to injure when a game is decided. There is a difference between being an enforcer and being a playground bully.

    Saying that is not making Barea a hero. Just a fact.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Sheed get 8 games for talking smack to a crooked ref?

    I won't go so far as to say the NBA is fixed, but clearly there are favored players and teams. So Artest got only one game; I'd bet if he were still with Indiana it would have been 2 or 3.

    I seriously doubt PJax would condone or expect this kind of play from one of his players. On the other hand, if the opponents are employing goons, like the bad boy pistons, Jackson would send in a goon of his own from the end of the bench.

    This clearly looked like Bynum acting on his own to me.

    Ariza's cheap shot was while Rudy was at least during the act of shooting the ball, and Ariza wasn't suspended; Miller was. Judging by the outrage by Blazer fans in the thread below, I'd say that I'm at least being consistent, while posters like Minstrel have changed their opinion based on the color of the jersey involved in the cheap shot.

    Bynum also loses 5 games of pay.

    I am just so grateful that Miller is such a classy player and won't resort to the same act 3 times in a row. Unlike some hack jobs; he learned from his lesson. We should be grateful that we have such a great player in Miller.

    Yeah, as I've posted, that cheap shot was out of character for him. Still, many players never have a cheap shot like that in their career, so a small doubt will always be there as to when 'Dre will snap again.

    A wise move by Miller. Is Crazy 'Dre going to show up and blindside you? Keeps the opposition a bit distracted, eh?

    Absolutely! I am so glad we have a heady player that is willing to get other teams guessing. He should be our #1 option. He has the best Bball IQ on our roster.

    Yep, and Bynum has 3x the BBIQ, since he's even more consistently crazy!

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    What opinion did I change? I looked through that thread for my contributions, which amount to:

    1. Disagreeing with DaRizzle about whether Ariza grabbed Rudy's wrist to yank him down from mid-air
    2. Enjoying LittleAlex's claim that Kobe purposely injured his teammate Bynum
    3. Making fun of LakersGround posters

    I still think Ariza grabbed Rudy's wrist, I still enjoy that claim by LittleAlex and I stand by what I said about LakersGround.

    So I think you're wrong that I've changed my opinions. :)

    Then you know nothing about basketball. Andrew Bynum is probably the worst point guard in basketball. Steep downgrade.

    Will Bynum is not so bad, but also not so young. I'd just stick with Miller.
