Not surprising it was Bynum who spoke up.

He wants to prove that he could have been the difference maker between the two sides two years ago ... when he had to sit on the sideline and watch his team beaten around in the paint.

"Man, it's going to be amazing to play against those guys again, especially having lost," Andrew Bynum said when asked if he has thought about his size being a factor should the Lakers advance past Phoenix, with "those guys" being the Celtics.

Play against us "again", Andrew?  When did you play us the first time?  The regular season doesn't count.

Don't know if he's overrated but I really doubt he's gonna realize his potential because of all the injuries. The guy is made of glass.

Andrew Bynum is Good..Really Good, when he's on the floor.

But he's no Kareem, by any stretch.

LA will need more than Bynum to beat us. Bynum can't do it alone.

I still like our Opportunity VS LA - provided we can play at least One More Lockdown Quarter against ORL here..

It simply needs to happen. Let's remember how close the title race is, reagrdless of the whole Minneapolis thing. This is important to the celtic dynasty. Who better than to win banner 18 against.

Phoenix.  I want no part of LA having any chance to get a title -- ever. The sooner they are out the better.

Phoenix has been waiting for like 30 years for a rematch. I'd love to give it to them ;)

Grab a few boards, keep the TO's under 14, close out on shooters and we'll win.

Beating the Lakers in the finals is better than seeing The Empire Strikes Back for the first time.

Given what Perkins has done to Howard, Shaq, and Jermaine, Bynum should be a non-factor in the Finals.

Bynum has skill. Howard is just an incredible athlete.

To some extent, but he's no Hakeem either.  And if Perk can shut down the likes of Shaq and Jermaine O'Neal too, I have no doubt he can make Bynum work too.

"We're going to have a lot of fuel, a lot of ammo to go at those guys," Bynum said. "They're definitely a great team, they got great veterans on their squad and we know that. So we're already getting prepared. The first step is closing out Game 3 and after that, we'll be focusing on Boston, looking at them play, watching how they're playing Orlando and just trying to pick up as much as we can."

Does he think the Suns will forfeit if they lose Game 3?
Tommy: He's got a line about me. Tell him the line.

Mike: Everybody 60 or over knows Tommy as a player. Everybody 40 or over knows Tommy as a coach. Everybody 20 or over knows Tommy as a broadcaster. And everybody 10 or under thinks he's Shrek.
