Bynum has strained tendon, return uncertain

LOS ANGELES - Andrew Bynum's left Achilles' tendon is not torn, and the Los Angeles Lakers think their starting center will be out for at least two weeks.
Lakers coach Phil Jackson said Sunday he can't predict a return timetable for Bynum, who strained his tendon early in the third quarter of Los Angeles' win over Minnesota on Friday night.
Bynum was inactive for the Lakers' home game against Washington on Sunday, and he isn't expected to play on Los Angeles' ensuing five-game road trip. Jackson hopes Bynum will return early next month.

LeBron James is expected to record-breaking

LeBron James contributed 29 points, 12 rebounds and 12 assists, which is his 28th career triple-double and, more importantly, this also allows him tied ninth in the history of Jordan's career regular season three pairs of records. 28 Although the three pairs of NBA history, the pinnacle of the record behind, it is still an outstanding league, but LeBron is still young, there are a lot of time for him to continue to play.
James's first triple-double and appear in the January 19, 2005, when he had reached his second year, when he was faced with Portland scored 27 points and 11 rebounds and 10 assists. Three days later, he contributed again in the face of the Warriors 28 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists. At present, the 26-year-old James, a career total of 28 times to win the three pairs of data, which has been tied to James, Michael Jordan's career triple-double of the regular season record.
Jordan's career, the Chinese Communists won 28 times over the three pairs of the regular season, 2 playoff triple-double, a triple-double in All-Star Game (the only time in history appeared in the All-Star Game triple-double). Although the heyday of James Jordan's record breaking only a matter of time, but if you want prices and the various styles NBA predecessors, I am afraid he will have to spend more effort.
In NBA history, three players hit over super-career triple-double of 100 times, they are Oscar Robertson, Magic Johnson and Jason Kidd, including "Big O" Robertson of the 181 sub - three pairs so that future generations is almost unmatched.

Rockets is supposed to enter postal-season

Rockets next race is still extremely difficult, they want in the final 16 games to win 12 regular-season victories is possible to win the west so that the last one eighth playoff berth, no one would say that this is easily able to do so things, and if Lori injuries and once again the team to have some effect, then they will become even greater difficulty.
But if you are before the start of this season, the first day of training camp told the Rockets general manager Daryl Morey and coach Rick - Adelman such a thing - the rocket in March 18 when the record will be the team to reach 35 wins 31 negative, they may be nodding his head, said "It sounds really promising." And if you tell them that they can use Karl - Landry and Tracy - McGrady in exchange for Kevin - Martin, Jordan - Hill and New York Knicks for two first-round picks, then they will very happy.
In Trevor - Trevor Ariza return to the team after the Rockets scored four straight, they played a fast attack, there are many fast offensive and defensive side of the conversion, which also allow them to once again become a spectator rather with the team, this season if the Rockets could eventually into the playoffs, then this should have been troubled season will be a very satisfactory outcome of ending, and this may be the next summer, this important a good start.
Rockets may only be able to be the majority of people believe that in the remaining 16 games just to obtain half of the race victory, even if the final regular season Trail Blazers games will only get five wins eight negative record, the Rockets also have to win the next four field they had not originally been considered a victory can win the game because as I do not know if the rocket will be able to accomplish this task, but this is what they are still trying to fight causes.

Bryant Lets Down His Guard

For nearly two weeks, Bryant had been locked in a perpetual scowl— his demeanor dark and his answers clipped. He did strange things with his chin.But the Los Angeles Lakers now hold a 3-1 lead in the finals , and the grimace has faded as quickly as the Orlando Magic . The Lakers can clinch the championship Sunday night at Amway Arena. The Lakers won three championships from 2000 to 2002, but that was a different time and a different team. Shaquille O’Neal dominated, in play and personality. Bryant gritted his teeth and played understudy. Veterans occupied every corner of the locker room. Coach Phil Jackson had a soul patch. It has been seven years since they celebrated anything. Jackson has since retired and unretired. The Lakers missed the playoffs once, were eliminated in the first round twice and so frustrated Bryant that he demanded a trade . The N.B.A. fined Lakers Coach Phil Jackson $25,000 for criticizing the officials during Game 4 on Thursday. The league also penalized the Lakers $25,000 for Jackson’s comments, which came during an interview with ABC between the first and second quarters of a 99-91 overtime victory.
