Lakers (The Bitch Post)

it doesnt matter what your definition is, you are missing the point. Odom doesnt do this shit. Odom is a reality star. he's also a hell of a competitor that let the heat of the moment get to him. he was a champion on a team about to get swept down by 30.

what we're saying is not an argument of terminology, its an argument of tendency. one play does not make somebody anything, unless your 10-15 year older than us definition of thug means "guy i snapped judgment on cuz i caught a playoff game this one time"

Bullshit. Im glad he's a fucking reality star because he isnt much of an NBA star. Fucking guy was suppose to be the next coming of Christ and is nothing more then a 6th man and cant even start on that team.

Call him a Thug, a joke, a nigger, i dont care. It was a chicken shit move and there is no need for that anywhere. Heat of the moment my ass, play harder or give them a hard foul in game 2 not when your getting blown out and swept. Chicken shit move buy both guys.

Did Kobe do anything like that "no"

Dont give me heat of moment. So it would ok for anyone to cheap shot someone, "sory heat of the moment."

Lamar Odom is a pretty damn good player, could even be a star on another team, he has those skills. But because of the situation hes the sixth man, and I commend him for taking that role.

This whole thing is probably upsetting you more then it should sir, this shit is not all that uncommon in the NBA. Shit happens.

Ill sir you. Its not upsetting. I just remember him coming out of high school and college (after he got hammered with taking money from a booster) then he gets nailed with two possession charges while a Clipper and gets suspended.

Yeah I guess he did have good numbers 16 and 10 or whatever, but I just think he never amounted to the talent he should have been.

But this thread isnt even about his talent. Its about the Bush League Chickshit him and Bynum did.

Bynum apologized because thats what he needed to do.
Bynum said he expected to be suspended for the infraction. The team expects a decision to come down from the league office by the end of the week.

"I believe I will be suspended. I don't want to be suspended," Bynum said.

Bynum was suspended for two games in March for committing a similar foul on Minnesota's Michael Beasley. The NBA weighs a player's discipline history when doling out a subsequent suspension, so it is likely Bynum's hit on Barea will be for more than two game.
 
Lol.. the point is you dont base a player off of one incident. When else has Odom or Bynum showed any "thug" qualities.. to call them thugs in an obvious situation of frustration that lead to a major brain cramp is unjustified.

I have NO PROBLEM with hard fouls, hell sometime guys get flagrants and it they really didnt mean to foul a player like that. Remember the one break away in the Sixers game Holiday went up and someone from the heat fouled him, but Holidaygot tripped with another Heat player so it looked like he was hammered alot more then he was.

You wanna hammer Barera go right ahead, but make it look like you were trying to block a shot, I mean just to throw an elbow right into the guys chest

So you were able to find 3 videos of hard fouls throughout Bynum's career. For a center this seems pretty normal to me. 3 "incidents" in a 6 year career.
 
Not to compare them as players but I'm pretty sure Ewing had more than 3 plays like that in his rookie year alone.

yeah hard fouls are one think like I said, these are chicken shit fouls where they were losing and just hammered someone
 
EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- Lakers center Andrew Bynum has been suspended for the first five games of next season for his flagrant foul on Dallas guard J.J. Barea in Los Angeles' final playoff game.

The NBA announced the suspension Tuesday, two days after Bynum was ejected for the foul in the two-time defending champions' 36-point loss to the Mavericks in Game 4.
Ramona Shelburne chronicles the final hours of the Phil Jackson era. Story »

The NBA also fined Bynum $25,000 for "removing his jersey and the manner in which he left the court."

The infraction will cost him $702,272 overall, including the fine.

Bynum expressed remorse for his actions Tuesday, saying his actions were terrible and unacceptable.

"My actions ... don't represent me, my upbringing, this franchise or any of the Laker fans out there that want to watch us and want us to succeed," Bynum said. "Furthermore, and more importantly, I want to actually apologize to J.J. Barea for doing that. I'm just glad that he wasn't seriously injured in the event and all I can say is, I've looked at [the replay], it's terrible and it definitely won't be happening again."


I would be showing remourse too if I was losing 3/4million dollars
With 8:21 left in Game 4 of the Western Conference semifinal series, and the Lakers down by 32 points, Barea beat Steve Blake off the dribble, drove the lane and soared to the basket for what looked like an uncontested layup. But the 7-foot, 280-pound Bynum closed in and threw a right elbow into the 6-foot Barea's ribs. Barea flew sideways to the court and remained there writhing in pain.
 
I don't understand why people are making such a big deal about this........I guess its because the perception of a big 7'0" 280 pound brute center hitting a defenseless, innocent and feeble 5'11" 175 JJ Barea when the game was out of hand.

More black on white crime. lol

Seriously though to me, Yes. The game was out of hand the series was over. totally uncalled for, like i said before, if this was game 2 Im fine with it because it would make him think about it for atleast two more games. And dont just swing an elbow, if you want to bury the guy atleast make it look like you want to block the shot or something

It was a cheap shot, but I guess I just don't care, because good or bad cheap shots happen. Its too bad the NBA doesn't have the mercy rule like they have in children rec leagues.
 
Feel like we are watching a childrens rec league sometimes. that was my entire problem with it, it was a cheap shot and he did nothing to hide it in any way. Some MMA fighters dont throw elbows like that.

Im not just singling him out, I posted in the EC Semis thread, that Boozer is a dirty mother fucker and Im a Bulls fan.

It was an unprovoked cheap shot, though. Basically, Bynum cheap-shotted Barea because he (Bynum) sucks at basketball. Also, the game and series were already decided. It reminded me of Dale Hunter's hit on Pierre Turgeon...
