The Lakers were outrebounded 48-33 by the Knicks tonight and that’s a big reason for this loss. The bigger reason for the loss was the suspension of Kobe Bryant for an elbow he delivered to Manu Ginobili the other day. Lamar Odom led the way for the Lakers with 25 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists. Vladimir Radmanovic got the start tonight and he scored 18 points and grabbed 9 rebounds. Smush Parker also had a decent game with 14 points and 3 assists.

Andrew Bynum had another good game around the basket with 14 points, 11 rebounds and 3 assists.

Radmanovic hasn’t played well at all in his last 8 games. In those games he’s averaging 5.1 points, 2.4 rebounds and 0.9 assists. He’s only shot 29.5% from the floor in those games and will continue to lose playing time until he gets things turned around.

Maurice Evans has been great off the bench lately. In his last 8 games he’s averaged 13.3 points, 3.8 rebounds and 0.9 assists. The Lakers need Evans to keep up his level of play even after Lamar Odom gets back. If he does, the Lakers will continue to roll.

Andrew Bynum has started his last 8 games and he’s played well. In those games he averages 9.4 points, 8.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 2.1 blocked shots. With Kwame Brown coming back the Lakers should get big time production between Brown & Bynum.
