Andrew Bynum Suspended 5 Games/ Fined

BMack's boy Andrew Bynum has been suspended 5 games without pay and fined 25,000 dollars for taking his shirt off while getting ejected. The infraction will cost him $702,272 overall, including the fine.

I could care less about his apology yesterday, it was forced and too late to be honest. he should have been suspended at least 10 games for the vicious hit he put against J.J. Barea. Thank God he didn't get hurt for the next series, but if he did the Mavericks whole post season would be different. That's how I feel the NBA should have though of this. There is no room for this type of behavior in basketball and to hit a defenseless player who is a foot smaller and probably over 100 pounds less than you is inexcusable. I initially said 20 games, but I'd settle on 10, 5 games is too less.

Stay Classy Lakers

The Lakers run is officially over after the Dallas Mavericks completed a 4 game sweep of the defending champs. But the sweep didn't just go without controversy as Lamar Odom and Andrew Bynum got thrown out of the games in the 4th. I'm fine with Odom's foul, but Bynum was the biggest bush league attack I've ever seen in my life. JJ Berrea was going up for an uncontested lay up and Andrew Bynum threw an elbow at him when he was defenseless.

I feel that they are going to blow up this team after this embarrassing loss because the writing is on the wall. Phil Jackson is gone and Bynum will never be in a Laker uniform again and this is going to be a whole new team going forward.

Andrew Bynum Injured

Bob's favorite player Andrew Bynum will undergo an MRI today for a hyper extended right knee.

This will kill the Lakers chances to be the in the championship if they lose him for an extended period of time. Bynum is the tough interior defender as well as a budding offensive player. He gives Pau Gasol room to dominate on the offensive end and makes up for his lack of defense.

With the Spurs and Oklahoma City Thunder rolling, if Bynum misses a significant amount of time, they are fucked.
