If Bynum is out for a significant amount of time, I guess Ole Ron will have to step up and become more involved offensively. As long as #17 can come back and play defense, catching Clevebron for HCA is looking bleak, LO, Gasol, and Powell will be able to hold it down in the middle until he returns.

How is that realism, Aaron? Everyone who has torn an Achilles is pretty certain they tore it at the moment it happened. It’s not just a “pop and burning sensation”- there’s no ambiguity about it- it hurts like hell. As mentioned already- Beckham couldn’t even walk after it. Imagine how much more weight Bynum would have to put on it.

You know, you are far and away the most overwhelmingly negative poster here…it’s always “sky is falling” with you. Lighten up. Bynum will be fine. And if you are right, oh well. People have been complaining for some time that Bynum gets his at the expense of Pau, so I guess we’ll see if there’s something to that.

I hate to be the barer or bad realism… But the odds are bynum tore his Achilles. And that’s like tearing an ACL. You are never the same. Let’s hope for a miracle.

There are two things that can derail a champion from repeating; internal turmoil and injuries. This has been one hell of a roller coaster ride since Trevor left town. With Kobe’s myriad of injuries, to LO and his “reality” marriage, to Rambis heading for Minny, to our discontent with the point guard situation, to our bigs not getting enough touches, and now Bynum’s “pop.” When will all of the drama stop?

Hopefully there’s a silver lining to this unusual season. It rings very familiar to 1986 when we thought we upgraded with Mo Lucas and let Jamaal Wilkes walk. I know we’re loaded with talent, but honestly, weren’t we all expecting much more? Are our expectations that skewed that we can’t enjoy what we already have? Or are we being realistic and can see the deadly flaws in this team?

Regardless, I hope Drew’s diagnosis is only a minor setback and that all of these distractions will make this group of Lakers stronger and more focused as a team. I haven’t lost any faith, just a lot of sleep…

Major concern regarding Drew with the Strained Left Achilles Heel injury. MAJOR. Those injuries, depending on how severe, tend to linger on. Especially for a big man. Hopefully, after he’s re-evaluated 2day, we can receive some good news. Good sign was that he was able 2 walk off of the court under his own power, with a slight limp. Still n all, bad timing, considering the fact that we’re ’bout to go on a critical road trip after Sunday’s game. DAMN. Get well Drew, but pls, take your time. The ‘offs/June is where we need u most.
