There must be something in the water, since all shaggy-haired Spaniards seem to have a preternatural ability to find an open teammate without having to actually see them. A cutting Gasol drew both his man and Andrew Bynum's, and a nifty little over-the-shoulder dump to Bynum was pretty and pretty effective. More »

The public's relationship with Kwame Brown, the number one draft pick of the 2001 NBA Draft, has really evolved over the years. We're at a well-earned juncture now, wherein we can essentially make jokes about Kwame Brown simply by mentioning Kwame Brown. We're not quite in #LOLMets territory, but we're close. More »

The NBA lockout officially ended this evening, when the players and owners ratified the new CBA in Manhattan, and everything else has already fallen back into place: The Clippers signed Caron Butler to a $24 million deal, the Knicks lost out on an opportunity to sign a great point guard, and the Lakers won everything. Basketball is back! More »

In a big-to-little defensive switch in basketball, the advantage usually goes to the taller forward who can easily back down a misplaced guard for an easy basket in the paint. It's a simple, dependable play off of a switched screen or miscommunication on the defenders' side. More »

Andrew Bynum isn't happy with his playing time, but he's only going to talk with Phil Jackson about his "feelings" if he's approached. Let's give Bynum a break — he's still young, right? Lakers, Nuggets, 8:30 p.m. in Denver. [LA Times] More »

Kobe Bryant is so confident in his ability to lead L.A. to a title, he knocked Andrew Bynum out for 8-12 weeks. LeBron James later seen ordering a "Gillooly" on Sasha Pavlovic. [LA Times] More »

We couldn't have been more thoroughly depressed by last night's Lakers-Heat matchup, otherwise known as Shaq-Kobe II (or IV, or whatever). Aside from the much-heralded but mostly boring "peace accord" between Shaq and Kobe, and aside from the game itself (the Lakers finally beat Shaq), we were downright devastated by those shenanigans between Shaq and Lakers teenager Andrew Bynum.
