Yup, Gasol is a dominating force. NOT! I notice Laker fans have very little to say about Bynum this year; his absence was many LA fans' excuse for why the Celts took them apart in the Finals last year.

"Yeah, 2006-07 is THIS YEAR!" I am just showing that the regular season isn't all that important. I think that was your argument too after the Lakers swept the Celtics in the regular season, but I guess that argument is no longer convenient for you to use Spin Doctor.
"Yup, Gasol is a dominating force. NOT!" Umm yea, 18 and 12 are average numbers for a big man.
"I notice Laker fans have very little to say about Bynum this year." Well yea a lot of people have been disappointed in his play since he hasn't got the big numbers this postseason; but than again he is coming off that MCL injury and his lateral quickness isn't 100% right now. But despite these drawbacks, I think he did a solid job defensively against Yao and he showed some signs offensively vs Nene. If he can make Howard work harder than he did against Z, I'll be happy.
"Good luck with Lamar Odom, Ariza, and Walton using their "defensive skills" to contain them." Ron Artest and Melo also like to shoot 3s and I think Ariza did a solid job containing them and disrupting their rhythm. I also think that Orlando doesn't have an answer for Odom. We'll see if Lamar and Phil exploit this advantage.
