Kwame Brown could be out 2 weeks, now George out 1 week

LAKER REPORT
Brown Could Be Out Two Weeks
By Pete Thomas, Times Staff Writer

Power forward Kwame Brown, who suffered a strained right hamstring Friday night during the 97-91 loss to the Clippers, will be sidelined for up to two weeks.

Coach Phil Jackson said the break may actually benefit Brown, who has been ineffective and lacking in confidence.

"He needs to take the pressure off him so he can come back and play the game the way we anticipate he can play," Jackson said.

For tonight's game against the Chicago Bulls, Brown's replacement probably will be Brian Cook or, if the Lakers decide to go small, Devean George.

George and Chris Mihm, both nursing sore ankles, were held out of Saturday's practice.

I think Mihm's injured too. Bynum alert.

Bynum lol?
He even cant handle the ball
Cook will do kwames job anyway.
But if mihm is out then its really shit.

i dont think him being out will be too bad for lakers...hes pretty crap

but the Lakers dont have a PF who can bang inside then...Cook's too thin

odom can play pf, he can play everything

but the Lakers dont have a PF who can bang inside then

"bang" isn't what Kwame used to do. Bynum all the way.

Oh nice idea

C: mtfomfg Bynum
PF: Odom
SF:George r KOBE
SG: Kobe r kobe to SF and george to SG r McKie can try also
PG: SMush

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say you've never seen Bynum play.

I've seen Bynum play , in HS . Never payed attention to him , but he went to the school thats like 20 blocks away from my house . He lived so close to me .

You could've been one of his MySpace friends.

No , I deleted my MySpace after a few months . No-one commented me .

LAKER REPORT
George Sidelined at Least One Week
By Mike Bresnahan, Times Staff Writer

The Laker bench, short and struggling as it is, will get even shorter.

Devean George, averaging 6.5 points as the Lakers' sixth man, is out for at least a week because of a sore left foot.

George took a red-eye flight after Sunday's game against Chicago to have his foot examined by the Indianapolis doctor who performed his ankle surgery last year. An MRI exam and CT scan were negative.

George joins a growing list of injured Lakers: starter Kwame Brown and reserves Slava Medvedenko and Luke Walton.

"We're hurting," said Walton, who hoped to return Thursday against the Seattle SuperSonics. "But, I guess, better to get hurt now than later."

Kobe Bryant is also dinged up with an assortment of minor injuries. He played 46 minutes Sunday, despite a bruised thigh, slightly sprained ankle and sore hip. He had 43 points and made 17 of 34 shots.

now what will happen to them..their already thin frontline just got way thinner

This sounds really bad for the Lakers, release Medvedenko and sign Marcus Haislip

that first name is andrew, quite simple really

the starting 5 LA had against Chicago
C-Mihm the fouling god (had 4 fouls vs Bulls)
PF-Odom
SF-Kobe
SG-Laron Profit
PG-Smush

you think this 5 works for them?

Laron Profit in the starting 5 tells it all.
Would the 2 NDBL'ers in the starting 5 be a record?

Finally Aaron McKie can prove his worth. This really kills to know LA used its midlevel on another useless waste! nooo... and I thought he's contribute too

They need to try and get some trades done very quickly.

Damn, there goes our chance to win the championship.

I don't there was even a chance to begin with.

Damn, there goes our chance to win the championship.

There are several different comments I can make about this.

1. As in the 0.000000001% chance they had?
2. Kwame and Devean George were all they needed for a championship?
3. Kwame is that good?
4. Pacific Division champions? No, that's the Clippers.
5. Do you mean LA championship? No, that's the Clippers.
6. Huh?
7. You remind me of one friend who used to always say Raptors would win the championship. I always laughed at him.
8. In 5 years maybe?
9. Kwame Brown is in the championship picture?
10. What???

Sarcasm people, sarcasm.

Yes, believe it or not, that friend of mine even thought that the Raptors could win it last last year, and the year before, and the year before...etc. since Vince Carter got drafted. He hates the Raptors now. (Doesn't even acknowledge they exist!)
