    I believe that adding Andrew Bynum, back on the lakers active roster is only going to make the lakers that much hader to beat. i know it's probly going to take a while before he at his best, but i think by time the Lakers make it to the western conference finals Andrew will be at a 100%. For any team on the west its going to be really hard to match up with the Lakers. not only will teams have to guard two 7 footers they still got to guard Kobe,Odom, fisher etc.........

Lakers Fans Treat Carmelo Anthony To "DUI" Chants

Carmelo Anthony was treated to chants of "D-U-I" by the Lakers faithful during Sunday's Game 1. Well, that seems a bit extreme - much like Melo's intoxication levels when he was pulled over last week. Wonder if Nuggets fans will retaliate by chanting at Kobe during Game 3. Something about his sexcapades in Vail, perhaps?
