It's nobody fault but Bynum's that he didn't play today. If he didn't act like such a bitch then he could have been out there to help his team.

Everyone's gonna talk about DRose, but Luol Deng won that game.

Durant playing scrubby.

I semi agree, I think LA lost this more than Chicago won it... but a win is a win for sure.

Definitely, anyone who watched the game knows this. But as you said, a win is a win no doubt. L.A. should have and could have closed this but didn't. No excuses, they lost and it's as simple as that.

Still a great game either way, very enjoyable.

I can't emphasize how much I enjoyed their hustle and defense. Like I said, I loved McRoberts game, Ebanks & Murphy impressed me as well. Sadly, Pau looked lost and sloppy as hell in that game. Very disappointing to say the least.

This a mixed sign for LAL and mixed for the bulls.

LAL played had a great chance at winning without one of their best players. It shows that they aren't completely "done"

Unfortunately Pau is still playing like he was to end last season.

Bulls still have great defense and Rose improved on his shot.

Problems still persists on stretches of offensive.

Now do you hear that OKC CROWD!!!

Game 4 of 5. I've been so lazy today. Starting to hit that wall. Gotta stay up to watch Lob City.

Hot camaraderie.

Exactly. We don't win that game without either one of them.

Why would I be mad? I'm indifferent about both teams.

Sigh...it's a joke. Yeah, we can say Bynum would've had an impact on scoring, but we could also say the Bulls would've shot higher than 40%, including that 5-23 3rd-quarter, and that if Rip was more involved in the offense, we would've won.

A win is a win is a win.

I don't see how Bynum playing equals an automatic win. Bynum has been horrible over the years on pick and roll D. If he had to blast the ball screens on Rose, it probably would have been a repeat of the Hornets series from last year.

It's not really a sign for any of these teams. Don't read into too many of these games until about 4-5 games into the year, IMO. If the same problems persist for a week or two into the season, then teams have problems.

We wouldn't have known either way so it's pointless to use if's

The things a Laker fan can take away from the game is that Steve Blake is much more comfortable in an open offense and that McRoberts is going to be instant energy and hustle. He doesn't try to do too much which is exactly what you need out of teammates of Kobe.

Edit: Murphy looks like he's in shape too. Love him so far
