Around SBN: Knicks Beat Lakers With Familiar Strategy

Bynum is set to be in the starting lineup Thursday against the Nuggets.

Is this good? Bad? Are the L*kers the favorites to win it all? Is Bynum going to come back playing as well as he was when he went out?

This is very significant.

Cleveland is still the favorite in my book, but if Bynum can demonstrate that he’s healthy, LA becomes a close 2nd.

If Bynum is their 2nd or 3rd best player

and they did this well until now, consider it very significant. If he can play well and blend back in with the team, they’re better than the Cavs.

Bynum's season stats

Aren’t too far off from what Oden has been able to do, even with Oden only playing 15 mins off the bench.

Bynum isn’t as good as ODEn the Lakers Going to lose to Trail blazers in any case.

Really.

Bynum coming back makes it easier to predict Blazer win. The guy has a Tyson Chandler ceiling, but the real point is he can’t even control his own body (see game against Bobcats – you’d get beat for doing that in pickup).

LA will have to change its lineup a bit again.

Earlier in the season, Pau Gasol got more minutes at the PF with Andrew Bynum playing center. But Gasol can play center as well, so Bynum’s minutes were always restricted. So, Lamar Odom and Luke Walton will both lose some production. I wouldn’t expect the L@kers to make a huge jump.

The Kings have the best bench I’ve seen. There are easily 14 guys on this team good enough for every bench in the league. Now if we could only get some starters, I’d totally jizz in my pants.

Blazers Broadcasters Mike Barrett and Mike Rice re-enacted NBA referee Scott Foster's controversial goaltending call on Portland Trail Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge, who was defending Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star forward Kevin Durant, during this week's edition of Blazers Courtside. Remarkably, no one was injured during the taping of this segment.

OK, that should just about wrap up the goaltending discussion.
