That is one of the things that is still holding Lebron back. He still will revert to just shooting j's to try and get himself involved. He needs to learn, and use the post game more, as that will make it easier for him to integrate himself into a game if he's having a rough night shooting the ball.

I agree lebron tries to play small for his size and is trying to get by on pure athleticism, if he could learn to post up he would be even more of a monster

That's the thing. Anything he makes near the basket, he needs a running start for. Why? I have no idea, the guy has like a 44" vertical. This all goes back to the charges never called on him. He use to pull back between 3pt and half court, then wind up and go to the basket. He was so out of control and would bulldoze people, but nothing ever got called. I think he's been officiated a little better this year, so his game that was previously "outside the rules", has been turned down. I just don't think he really knows how to post up. I don't know if he's afraid or what, but it would be a huge addition to his game. Hell , even little Chris Paul can post up well, and that helps his game a lot.

Kobe tried to break Bynum's knee lol. Damn, that had to hurt, it was vicious. You could see it in Kobe's face after he realized what happened, he was upset. It would be hard not to feel at fault, even though you weren't.

why o why?!

That may stir things up a little bit. Hopefully it's not as bad as it seems. I would really like to see Bynum grow into the player he really could be. I think he could be the second best big guy in the game behind Howard.

Jeff Green made a killer shot to put them into ot against Sac. Missed his own free throw with a second left, then caught his own rebound, and while still in the air put it back from just inside the ft line. Pretty sweet. Another team that has loooots of potential once they get situated.

I agree about OK, I think next year they will be much better.

And thank you Jeff Green and Kevin Martin for giving me the fantasy win this week!

Bynum out 8-12 weeks










































Oh wait, I forgot, we steam-rolled the western playoffs without Bynum last year just make sure he is in full swing by the finals....

I noticed that. They went OFF.

Speaking of going off, Kobe and Gasol went crazy on New York. It is New York, but still. 61 for Kobe (20 of 20 from the stripe), and 31 for Gasol. Simple math tells you that right ther is 92 of their 12x they scored. Geez. Ariza had 13, and nobody else even existed, just decoys.

Then to add to my current fantasy woes, Nelson, at the very least, has dislocated his shoulder. That's a big blow to my team.

61..............
