What the Hallway's going on? Clippers end 10-game losing streak...

Lakers forward Lamar Odom, right, puts up a shot as Clippers center Marcus Camby defends during the second half Wednesday at Staples Center.

like i mention over and over again. it seem like only action jackson and myself agree that bynum should learn how to play with pau not pout when pau is on the court with him. he need to move, move, move, catch an shoot under the basket. someone mentioned here that bynum will mature to be a better player. he's going on his 7th year and how long will he perfect the game. he has no urgency when on the court.

Baron Davis ABUSED Fisher.

Andrew has to learn low-post defense and rebounding.
He doesn't understand how to play that position.
His offense is OK and if he doesn't rush his shot he has a nice touch.
Against the Clippers he should have had at least 5 blocked shots and 5
altered shots. Some one has to teach him and/or show him tape of
centers who knew how. He doesn't know how because he doest show it.

Kobe says the Lakers lost because of poor transitional defense.WRONG!!!!! They lost because more and more, Kobe is dribbling into double teams and turning the ball over. You beat a defensive plan by moving the ball faster than the defense can adjust. The Lakers ball movement is non existant. Doesn't Phil have the courage to stand up to Kobe and say" pass the damn ball !!!"He is killing our ball movement. Kobe is one of the greatest but he is killing us right now. Also, lately the Lakers run the very worst fast break in the NBA.
Fisher is done and will not pass inside unless its to Gasol. Clearly the Laker that is coasting the most at this time is Phil Jackson. One of the greatest coaches of all time but if this is what we get for the money this year, I would take Byron as coach.
This team is broken at this moment.They built up the record by beating a lot of really bad teams ,mostly at home
We will not get out of the 1st round without a shakeup

The clippers are gettin there,just a lil more hustle,and they can make the playoffs.

[Tiffany]

You think that because Shaq is there?

[OBVIOUSLY]

1. BYRON SCOTT
2. KIRK RAMBIS
3. PHIL JACKSON -- JK!

That would be the choices for the next Lakers Coach.

Lakers lost because they as a team didn't have the pride, competitiveness, and urgency to show their dominance.(Don't get me wrong here because I would never become a Clippers fan regardless!)

Lakers also lost because their lame duck center, Andrew Bynum, who can't do a diddlysquat. A 7 footer at the age of 22, who can barely play ~20+ minutes, gets less than 2 rebounds, and as well as less than 5 points per quarter.

You would hardly call this guy as one of the best centers in NBA history. At this rate, he will most be likely remembered as one of the duds in NBA history.

The Lakers will never let Bynum go to the d league.Every player has their "off games"

Well it worked with Sun Yue, even though he was a bench player. Good thing he realized this and produced in the Lakers' last three games (18 reb against MIL, 23 pts against SA, 22 pts against DAL).

Those are good numbers.

From my observations, Bynum has the skillset but, not the mindset. It was the opposite for sun but evidentally, he didnt agree; nor did many chinese folk.

We may need a group Therapist/psychologist rate having Bynum and Artest on the roster.

[Time to trade]

I agree water, bynum doesn't have the mindset to play consistently or the mental toughness to perform as expected. What bothers me is that he refused help from former Laker Legends saying he would do it his way. Artest is a great d player but he's a liability with his stunts off court. These guys need to keep the goal fresh in mind. Kobe needs to give a much needed harsh pep talk prior to each and every game. Fire these guys up!

[This is what happens]

when all cylinders are clicking and humming, this is what happens to LAKERS.

A whopping 1200hp lawnmower mowing down Clippers into fertilizer!

Unstoppable and undeniable!!!

When was the last time you saw Sasha (remember this guy?) score double digit points?

As long as Andrew can continue to play like the past 2-3 games producing double-double's, LAKERS will surely get their second consecutive championship without a doubt.

Its not Bynum that needs to go,its Sasha,he's not bringing his A game like he use to,his playing time decreased,and his points decreased as well.

[BENCH IS THE PLACE]

Well, the BENCH may be the best place for ANDREW (he should definitely join SASHA). Let MBENGA have some time and play the center position.

If he is given same amount of time and attention, I am for sure Mbenga can be just as good as Andrew, if not better>
