You know what? That's a very good point. They have seemed to get a little weaker on D since those two went down. I didn't even consider that. Whether it's chemistry with who you're playing with or what, there does seem to be some issues there.

Dude, that has been the problem since like 1992 it seems like.

Lakers blow 25 point lead!!! W/O Gasol and Bynum they suck. They are up by 2 with 4 secs left.

yea, sucks how bad we've been playing of late. We still won though

How frustrating must it be to be a Mavs fan though.

Yea, all away games are on KCAL. At least it's HD. The only thing I hate is when the games are at 4 or 4:30 and they delay them.

Dallas is 0-6 against teams over .500 since the Kidd trade

Please be true:

The outlook for injured Los Angeles Lakers center Andrew Bynum apparently has improved virtually overnight.

The Los Angeles Times reported on Thursday that Bynum, who has been sidelined for more than two months with a knee injury, could return two weeks from Sunday.

That would give Bynum, the Lakers’ fourth-leading scorer, six games to get ready for the start of the playoffs. The regular season concludes April 15.

On Tuesday, however, Lakers coach Phil Jackson told the Times that Bynum would be out for the remainder of the regular season.

“I threw that out there to kind of take everything off the table,” Jackson said. “We’re (now) saying it was three weeks as of (last) Sunday.”

Bynum, who is averaging 13.1 points and 10.2 rebounds per game, suffered the injury against the Memphis Grizzlies on January 13.

The Lakers (46-21) are tied with the New Orleans Hornets for the best record in the Western Conference.

Huge win. Now the schedule lightens up and is home friendly. Time to get healthy and secure the first seed.
