Because from now on without Bynum, every free throw will probably bail the lakers.

How about 500 dunks, 500 free throws, 500 10 foot jumpers, 500 turn-around layups, 500 catches by kwame.

It has always been a mystery to me, how the hell can some NBA players be that bad at shooting freethrows when they play with basketball their entire life? I mean, there are guys who plays full time starters shooting 40% from the freethrow line! That is just inexcusable!

As for the Lakers, other than Fisher and Kobe, everybody else can use a lot of practice of freethrows. Especially Odom and Kwame Brown. Odom is a below average freethrow shooter and Kwame Brown is one of the worst freethrow shooters in the history of the game. I know I shouldn't be surprised that both of them sucks at freethrow shooting considering the amount of work one has to put into it to get better at freethrow shooting. But still, those guys have got to learn to shoot freethrows because they both go to the line more often than most of our other guys.

This team's problems are a lot bigger than just free throws. First and foremost, they've gotta try a new starting lineup. You can't have Kobe as the only one capable of creating shots.

THats part of it but now Kwame is probably mentaly completely destroyed and he's done.

All we can hope is for webber signing before the nuggets game.

kwame blew a lot of easy opportunites, but worst of all, his pride and ego has been severely damaged. Getting booed on your own homecourt has got to be one of the toughest things to swallow as a professional athlete. As much as he sucked and as much as I want the Lakers to win, I felt bad for the guy.

I did feel bad about Kwame too, since we already knew he had confidence problems, that he was overrated and a waste of potential, and didn't have good basketball instincts. But he usually did his work defensively, without being required to do anything on offense.

But it was painful to watch. Phil kept him out there, despite the turnovers, missed dunks, and fouls. I thought that was a bit messed up.

What was worse was that his teammates kept feeding him in the post. I think they were trying to give him opportunities to win the crowd back, but he kept on failing.

It was like Nate Robinson's dunk contest, after the 87th miss. But instead of finally making it, the ground opened up and Kwame fell into an endless hole.
