Really, I wouldn't mind being a player on any of those teams. You get to play basketball for millions of dollars.

The Lakers don't always play so great when they are angry. Kobe's beat up, Pau's tired, we need the rest of the team to step up and play smart, focused basketball.

Hate to be Lamar Odom tonight, all that pressure of being a starter again!

Interesting. The annoucer for the Knicks game on NBA League pass said Bynum was going to need surgery. I thought it was just going to be rest and rehab. Has something changed since this afternoon?

I just saw Bynum being interviewed by the Intrepid one, said after a week of rest he'd work 4 weeks on rehab then try out the knee.

Mike D'Antoni looks too happy, he's thinking how lucky he is that Drew is not in there.

DJ Mbenga isn't dressed for the game. I don't get it, he did some good things for us last year.

Ireland interview with Andrew:

- (Q: How did you feel when you got the diagnosis of a MCI tear & 8-12 weeks?) Felt relieved because he thought it would be "really really bad". He will be able to start rehab in a week or a week and a half and really try to get it going after 4 weeks and see how things are going.

-Could have been a lot worse especially with how he got hit. Related injury to what you see in football and he considers himself lucky that everything wasn't torn.

-(Q:Could be back earlier?) Taking it day by day. In 8 weeks, it will put him back in April and be able to practice and get himself back in rhythm and that's what he's hoping for.
