The Chicago Bulls’ Derrick Rose is the only rookie on the list, debuting at No. 9, while the New York Knicks’ David Lee enters the list for the first time at No. 14.

Dr T Posted February 1, 2009 Author Report Posted February 1, 2009 118-98 Lakers over Memphis. Pau took care of you brother with ease. Bynum had some knee injury today. I DON'T like to hear that part. I hope he'll be ok and hope it wasn't serious. We'll see. Quote
Dr T Posted February 1, 2009 Author Report Posted February 1, 2009 This is all I could find:Los Angeles Lakers center Andrew Bynum left in the first quarter of Saturday's win over the Memphis Grizzlies with a knee injury. Bynum had to be helped off the court after the injury and did not expected to return. He scored seven points in five minutes of action before exiting. Entering the game averaging 14.2 points and 8.4 rebounds this season, Bynum has become a force as of late, scoring 27 points in Friday's win over Minnesota as part of five straight double-doubles. The 7-footer was forced to miss the entire second half of last season and the playoffs after suffering a partially dislocated kneecap last January -- also against Memphis. I'll wait until tomorrow to see if there is any more news. Quote
Palerider Posted February 1, 2009 Report Posted February 1, 2009 Lakers will be on next Sunday.... Quote
Dr T Posted February 3, 2009 Author Report Posted February 3, 2009 This is from the "If the remaining games against the Cavaliers and Celtics are as demoralizing as last night's 126-117 loss to the Lakers, then the Knicks' version of "Dream Week" is going to be a nightmare. The Knicks thought they had something going heading into last night's game. They had won eight of their previous 11 and five straight at the Garden. From a celebrity row that included Yankees closer Mariano Rivera to the top of the rafters, they had come excited not just about a game, but about an event. What they saw was Kobe Bryant single-handily put the Knicks in their place with a record-setting performance that will have the 19,763 fans in attendance saying, "I was there." For all the positive steps the Knicks have taken in the first half-season under coach Mike D'Antoni, they are nowhere in the neighborhood of Bryant and the Lakers. Bryant, who came in averaging 26.6 points per game, had 27 points midway through the second quarter. He had 34 at halftime and a record 61 points by the time he called it a night, having played just over 36 minutes. His total, helped by 20 free throws, easily topped the double-nickel Michael Jordan erupted for in 1995, the most by an opponent at the current Garden. And it surpassed the 60 points Bernard King scored Christmas Day in 1984, the most points scored here until last night.Except for a brief spurt early in the third quarter when they cut the Lakers' lead to 67-65, the Knicks never had a chance even though the Lakers were without center Andrew Bynum, who will miss 8-12 weeks with a sprained right knee. His absence only seemed to inspire Bryant to attack. "He's got a focus and mentality that's attacking all the time," D'Antoni said. With enough people shouting "MVP! . . . MVP!" to make the Knicks coach feel like it was a road game, Bryant was unstoppable in turning the Garden into his personal playground. "I felt great," he said. "I was in a good rhythm." This beat-down wasn't supposed to happen. Not with all the excitement over how well the Knicks had played of late. The pregame atmosphere was something the Knicks had hoped to carry into the rest of the week. The Garden buzz was back - at least until Bryant began torching the place and making the Knicks look like amateurs. "We weren't real sharp with our game," D'Antoni said. "We're going to learn from this. We saw what it's going to take to be one of the better teams." D'Antoni had talked about sweeping the three games this week, and though that seemed farfetched, at least no one was openly snickering. "I think we're good enough to play with anybody," D'Antoni said just before the game. Anybody except Kobe Bryant. Whether this week is a step forward or a step back won't be judged solely on the number of wins and loses. "Whatever happens we'll spin it the best way we can," D'Antoni said half-jokingly. Still, you expected the Knicks to be more competitive. You expected them to have grown up enough not be in awe of Bryant. Instead of the Garden being reclaimed, it sounded more like the Staples Center. Worst of all, Kobe's record has given LeBron James something to shoot for tomorrow night. So anyway the Lakers beat the Knicks 126-117. Kobe had 61 points before calling it a night. Sad news: "Results of an MRI on Andrew Bynum’s right knee showed a tear of the medial collateral ligament, it was announced today." He'll be out 8-12 weels Quote
Palerider Posted February 4, 2009 Report Posted February 4, 2009 wow.....the Lakers kicked some booty and Kobe was on fire.... Quote
Dr T Posted February 4, 2009 Author Report Posted February 4, 2009 He WAS Pale and that's what scares me actually! I hope he doesn't try in these next few games to turn into a "one man team." We have Bynum out for a long time and Kobe is best when he moves the ball amongst his teammates! We have Boston and the Cavs coming up! I just hope he shares. Quote
Palerider Posted February 5, 2009 Report Posted February 5, 2009 Your boys have the celtics tonight......... Quote
