Bynum ejection dallas

Bynum said there wasn't any one thing that he said to referee Monty McCutchen to be tossed. Bynum was whistled for his first technical foul in the first quarter for arguing a non-call after Rockets center Samuel Dalembert was credited for a block on a missed shot by Bynum.

Before the reigning Western Conference player of the week exited the court, Bynum high-fived a row of fans sitting courtside next to the Lakers bench. I have no problem with it. Bynum left the game with 16 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks in 23 minutes. Without Bynum available, the Lakers were outscored in the fourth quarter and outrebounded I just kind of sat on the bus and waited for everybody to get out of there.

Bynum added he did not feel responsible for the Lakers' loss, seeing how his teammates were able to build back a double-digit lead without him on the court. It was just coming down to the end of the stretch and making bad decisions. The Mavericks will be without 7-foot, pound center Brendan Haywood sprained right knee to combat the 7-foot, pound Bynum on Wednesday. Ian Mahinmi will fill in as Dallas' starting center. And he knows this. He knows what most people want him to do.

He knows what Mike Brown, Mitch Kupchak and the rest of the team brass want him to do. But he simply refuses to do it. The simple truth is that Andrew Bynum is well on his way to being the face of the biggest franchise in professional basketball. Top Story: The Lakers lost their first pre season game, , to….

Not only was the scoreline, and series-sweep, ugly, the fashion the Lakers lost inleft a lasting impression on those watching in Dallas or at home. The Lakers weren't just beat in the series, they were taken apart by the pick-and-roll as the Mavs dismantled the Los Angeles defense with ease.

The offense wasn't clicking, the defense looked lost and the Mavericks were running circles around the Lakers. When it was over, Dallas had sent Jackson packing with a loss, ending his hopes to leave the game as a champion. But more than the score, the actions of a few Los Angeles players left a lasting impression. In the fourth quarter as Dallas had a firm grip on the game, frustrations boiled over as the Lakers resorted to childish tactics and threw what was, essentially, a very public temper tantrum.

Lamar Odom was first to explode, throwing a cheap forearm shiver at Dirk Nowitzki -- who abused the Lakers all series long -- as the two got into the halfcourt.
