Especially when those losses were 1 point at Detroit without Gasol and 3 points at ATL when Kobe had dislocated his pinky. Definitely a great trip, the Lakers are quickly establishing themselves as the team to beat in the West.
When Bynum gets back our starting 5 is going to be excellent, plus with the recent contributions we have been getting from Vujacic and Radmanovic, this team could go very far into the post season. I don't know of any team in the league that can match up with a 4/5 of Gasol/Bynum for a 7 game series.

I hate that term "the team to beat." If any team is that, it's the Spurs, they are the defending champs and they have shown that in the playoffs they are the superior team. I like where the Lakers are going, Gasol seems really happy, Bryant seems really happy, we have a lot of young players, Odom seems to have settled into a great role (Triple Double tonight) and when Fisher is on, he's deadly.

Yeah, we have a really deep team right now, something we were missing for a long time, even during the 3 championships. I hope Bynum comes back and can be as effective as he was, he's on his way to being one of the great centers in the league, I would love to sit back in 10-12 years and look at his jersey hanging up in Staples, that's high hopes and a long way away, but the Lakers great teams have always been built around a great center. |

I keep hearing rumblings that Bynum may be out for the year. Anything substantiating this in LA?

Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers was diagnosed with a torn ligament in his right pinkie finger, but he has decided not to undergo surgery that could cause him to miss six weeks. It was unclear whether he will play Sunday in the All-Star Game, but he will skip the three-point shooting contest, with Dirk Nowitzki of Dallas replacing him.

Nothing like that going around here, 8 weeks is a rough estimate, but I have heard nothing to lead me to believe that he won't be back before playoffs. |

This Kobe injury is a scary thing. At the current pace, it would take 51 wins to get into the playoffs, and if he has to have the surgery I could see the team not making it. Really hope he is able to play through this for the rest of the season without doing any long-term damage to the pinky.
