"It took me a while to get going today. I don't really know why," Bynum said after the Lakers' 94-88 loss Thursday to the Miami Heat. "I was roaming. I just wasn't being quite as active. I'll watch the tape a little bit."
Key words right there. I'm sure he wishes he would have grabbed more boards in the first half, but the way Miami's perimeter players were swarming the basket brings responsibility on the guards who didn't box them out.
Key words? What's the matter with the rest of the context?... or "I just wasn't being quite as active" or ""It took me a while to get going today."
Bynum is not exactly sure why he didn't get rebounds in the 1st half.
Phil is sure of his opinion.
So they aren't exactly saying the same thing.
If Bynum watches "the tape" he'll probably see something like this.
When Wade releases his shot as Bynum is contesting, Kobe should have been there to box him out immediately after the shot was released. Instead Kobe stands around on the perimeter. Wade crashes the board after the miss. He doesn't get his hand on it, but the fact that our guards let him crash is a big part of the problem during the game. _________________ I Recommend VLC Player: http://www.videolan.org/

there was FOUR FREAKING LAKERS in the paint on that play. wade out hustled all of them. how is that a guards problem, for "not boxing out" when IMMEDIATELY after his shot he crashed the glass??

Because fundamentally, you're not supposed to leave your man until the possession is secured. Those other Lakers shouldn't be looking out for a man that isn't their's. Kobe had no excuse to be hanging out on the perimeter and not boxing out his man after the shot was released. _________________ I Recommend VLC Player: http://www.videolan.org/

With all this "blame Drew" going on, you must give him credit for coming out and playing hard in the second half. I like that adjustment, that ability to listen to the critique of the coach and respond adequately.
You can put as much blame to those guys who let Chalmers, Bibby, and Miller hit all those threes, quite few of them totally uncontested.
This was one of those weird games which Lakers lost because of their own poor offence. Yes, they gave up too many boards to Heat in the first half, but the game was even till the end. We had all the opportunity to win this game, but could not make the shots at the end (with some help from referees, unfortunately). _________________ .

Thanks DB. Missed the game, DVR'd it, erased it in a fit of disgust. I was really really ticked off for a while. Nothing like a glance at the news to remind me how small this loss really is. Hope any LG buddies in Japan are OK.
The Heat game was marquee from a TV standpoint, but this Dallas standoff is much more important from a post-season perspective.
