We play you on 1/5, if the Lakers win you will have to change your profile photo from Rin to the Lakers logo for one week. If the Geezers win I will change mine for one week to the correct logo, deal?

Wais and Drew, you guys want to meet up for beers on the 5th for the game? We can yell at each other in person

Yup looks like the lakers took that one, good prediction

Knicks just played sloppy and angry, they kept yelling at the refs

and did anyone catch the ankle breaker Kobe gave Melo when they squared off 1-1. Lol, Melo was asking for it when he exchanged words with Kobe when he had the ball...and he right fully got what he deserved.

I give it up to Kobe to continue to play with that wrist injury though, it looked really swollen at the end of the game.

Great game!

Lakers played great D, but I agree that the Knicks were not themselves for sure.

2-2 without Bynum is pretty good in my opinion

Get Bynum out of here. One of the announcers said he was number 2 center in the league after Dwight....

who's better?...not saying Bynum's amazing but there really isn't sh*t out there as far as centers go

Cant forget about Tyson Chandler

Not last night

Z's right though, most big men nowadays are happier to face the basket and be a jump shooter rather than a postup player.

A balanced center nowadays (offense/defense) is pretty rare, most just focus on Defense.

Other than Dwight Howard, Bynum is the only dominant center IMO.

That is true, Bynums FT% is greater than Howard and Chandler, he shoots the ball more than the other two do.

but how can we forget about Shaq Diesel??? Lol, he was the most dominant center!!

But of course we are talking right now and DH, and Bynum are def in the top 3 centers in the league, but we cant forget about Chandler, he put up good numbers last season, and he is def in the running behind DH and Bynum.

and yesterdays game the Knicks were playing too hurried (they arent the Heat )

edit: and yeah that article about Bynum is pretty funny, he prolly had dope in the car, a dd on the low. LOL

BTW, I read this last night and it's pretty bad:

T.J. Simers: Andrew Bynum has the cars, but does he have drive to grow up? - latimes.com
