I'm going to criticize Kobe if the Lakers are healthy and don't win a championship in the next 3-4 years..this year? no, I can't criticize him if he plays his usual game(meaning no 2004 Finals performance) and they lose, because they've been hurt by injuries to key players..

actually even if they were healthy, I wouldn't criticize him after 1 year..he has 3-4 years to prove himself as a good leader to me(not that my opinion should mean anything anyways)..that's plenty of time..


That maybe true, but anytime a superstar loses with the homecourt advantage he should get the critisizm as it means they were supposed to win the series.

What a way to stick to your word that you're out! Anyway, it might look impudent, but if you want more, better pay me in advance for making you look like a clown (of course, it wouldn't be so easy without your cooperation - thanks ;-)). Otherwise, I might not bother myself again since I doubt even the most funny ways of exposing your "personality" will be so interesting for general public on these basketball boards. :-)

I'm sure you've got perfect responses to every single post that made you ridiculed here. Too bad you can think of them only weeks after the fact and never really post them on the RealGM. :D

The Lakers have Kobe Bryant who will win the next 5 championships alone.


Nope, Gasol is better player than Bynum, the Lakers are still a top team.

the suns beat the lakers in the playoffs with amare out injured, so if the lakers are as good as their fans think they are then not having bynum really shouldnt matter.

Post like this really shows that you dont really know/understand how good your team has been for the past 3 yrs with or without Amare. Now if they lost Amare this year then the suns probaby dont make the playoffs. But the year Amare missed Diaw had a great year.

yeah i know, i'm mostly just being a jerk.

but in truth, the lesson is that others can step up. there is nothing bynum brought that cant be filled in by other lakers if they step up. thats how a laker fan should view this news. i'd be willing to guarantee that all along none of the lakers admin, coaches, or players have been counting on bynum getting back

Your probably right. Phil probably knew this all along. But bottom line is that you cant replace size. Especially in a league that lacks good "Bigs".
