08:17 AM ET 02.15 | Andrew Bynum, whose offseason certainly didn't go according to plan, is finding his regular season challenging, too. Bynum leaned forward as he sat in the Lakers' ultra-quiet locker room Monday night, looking up at reporters, his eyes wide. When questions were presented to the 7-foot center about the Lakers' porous defense and about losing to the Charlotte Bobcats for the eighth time in the last 10 meetings, Bynum offered a slew of complaints. He complained about his lack of playing time, his lack of touches and the Lakers' lack of effort. ... "You know how y'all normally ask, 'Can you take anything out of this?' No, we can't take anything out of this one. This was a [butt] kicking."

He's irked at his lack of playing time? Maybe he should try staying in shape instead of hoisting playboy bunnies around during the off season. This guy isn't worth the time they've invested in him.

you are crazy, Bynum is a force WHEN HEALTY. He is a lot tougher then Gasol. Watch them actually play and see how Bynum attack the basket.

actually hoisting playboy bunnies would keep me in shape. Playboy bunnies in general would keep me in shape

Lakers are just fine. Back-to-Backs on the roads, especially after a tough game is never easy. We all know, on the bigger scheme of things, this game doesn't mean a whole lot.
I expect lakers to be in the final.

TRUE. Thats how Chicago was each of the 3rd season they won it all. Honestly, it doesn't matter how good the Spurs are this yr. ITs all a hype. The Lakers when going big will beat everyone. Except a healthy Boston team.

lets see, he got hurt while playing basketball. Don't see how that was his fault. Didn't he hold off on surgery during the season to play the remaining of the yr.

NO...After the season he postponed the surgery so he could go to the World Cup and then that set him back like a month or so...So yeah his effort is a little iffy after SIX years of the same act....

Yep. But does a healthy C team include being well rested?

that part is also true, but the injury that required surgery happen before the playoff even happen and he played his tail off on one bad leg. So cut him a little slack. Not to mention he doctors was wrong in the recovery time. You guys are BS some times. With preseason and playing in the finals how much time in one yr did he dedicate to Basketball. So what if he wanted to have time during the summer to enjoy himself before having surgery.

Well rested or not, the C will never quit. That first yr together playing those games saying made them so much more mentally tougher then any other team out there. They will leave it all on the court. They rest when the season is over.

This is the same guy who put off surgery in the off season so he could go to the World Cup for a few weeks.
