Bynum: We have trust issues

Andrew Bynum seldom has a filter when he talks to reporters, saying just what he feels. He was as direct as he's ever been in his career after the Lakers' loss to the Dallas Mavericks in Game 2 tonight at Staples Center put them in a 2-0 series hole. He said the Lakers have trust issues. He also said: "I don't even know the root of it at this point. Obviously, we have trust issues and unless we come out and discuss them nothing is going to change."

When asked about Bynum's comments, Kobe Bryant said: "I think the trust he's referring to is being able to help each other on the defensive end of the floor. You saw a lot of layups. He gets frustrated when he supports a guard coming off the screen-and-rool and nobody supports when a big (guy) is rolling to the basket."
