Life Without Bynum

Meanwhile, the Lakers pondered life without their 7-footer, who could be out for several weeks, if not longer.

The timing wasn't the greatest. Assuming Bynum is out for a long duration, it won't be easy for them to keep pace with Boston (40-9), Cleveland (37-9) and Orlando (36-10) for the league's top record, which could have obvious implications if the Lakers (37-9) make it back to the NBA Finals.

The Lakers' schedule won't offer many breaks, either. Twelve of their next 20 games are against teams with winning records, including Boston on Thursday and Cleveland on Sunday.Thirteen of their next 19 games are on the road.
