If Lamar Odom doesn't come off the bench, does the Lakers have one of the worst benches in the NBA?

First topic message reminder :

From the first 4 games the Lakers bench is not getting it done, Vujacic is bricking everything, Farmar and Brown can't get worked into the rotation because there isn't one for PG, Powell and MBenga isn't consistent enough to give u a stable presence. If Odom doesn't come off the bench like he isn't now, the Lakers for sure have the worst bench among contenders by far. What do you guys think?

BQ: Mavs huge comeback, thoughts or tell me what happened if you watched the game.

BQ2: Celtics is cruising right now, can ORL and CLE challenge them for the #1 seed? If so which one has the better chance.

BQ3: Are the Suns been overlooked this year? I didn't think they'd start the season this way.

BQ4: What are the chances Melo will dethrone LBJ from the MVP trophy? Keep in mind the season is still early, and give me ur thoughts on how he has performed so far this season.


STAR if you think the Rockets actually has a legit shot at making the playoff! Remember they might get T-mac back sometime this season.

The only few (current) guys I would say that can stop Bryant are Battier, Artest, and maybe Prince.

No way Wade or James can stop someone as good as Bryant; same thing if someone says Bryant stopping either Wade or James. These guys are too good of offensive players to be stopped by eachother's good defense.

I put them there but i didn't tell the reasons well when ever Kobe plays against LeBron he scores like 22 with 5 assists and 4 rebounds but LeBron goes like 25/8/8 or better and Wade like goes over 27,Pierces always seems to slow on 22

I have Prince as first because if he did it in 2004,he can do it now

The only man on Earth who can completely shutdown Kobe is Steve Nash.

Damn,we totaly overlooked him

Totally. Nash should win a DPOY award. Him, and Battier are long overdue for one.

Yeap,i mean even Nowitzki is stopping every great big men in the NBA

I don't know which is more surprising:

1. Steve Nash not winning a DPOY award.

or

2. Ben Wallace not winning any scoring titles.

huh?

More like 23 pts on 36% shooting... 9 rebs. 4 asts, and 6 TO's while Kobe guarded him.

And when Kobe and Odom guarded him when Kobe was sick, LBJ was 5 for 20... 16 pts, 8 rebs, 12 asts.


Kobe and LBJ guarding eachother primarily began last year and Bryant had the better game both times.


so.... huh?

It started couple of years ago since Lebron sank a buzzer beater in Kobe's face and so far in their battles stat wise and lots of the time he and the Cavs won

No it didn't start a couple years ago. It started last year.

Jade.
Owned.
Darko.

Jade got owned man.LeBron has better stats then Kobe in their macth ups regardless of who guards who

Now,she got owned.Axel posted a question about this on Y/A couple of monts ago if i remember good so where it had stats like where they proved that LeBron does much better then Kobe

But which teams won? Exactly.

You could average 100 points a game along with 80 rebounds, it's not going to be better than to be a winner.

Stupidest thing I've read today.


That was KONJ not axel and I got BA for that question for a reason. I'll dig it up and you'll see why IF that's what you want.

That Q did not prove that LBJ was better than Kobe LOL. That statement is a fail. When Kobe and LBJ guard eachother, Kobe wins. You don't have to like it but it's a fact and that's based on last season when they were guarding eachother primarily.

That's the way it is.

Ooooooooooooooooooooownaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaage...

lol @ CAguy

Laker bench is playing well, and still aren't that great. They need help (see the healthy return of Bynum and Gasol).

That would boost them
