Bynum needs to come off the bench until he can figure out that we need him to be a defensive presence instead of a scorer.



Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner. I agree. Ive said this before and Ill say it again. Bynum was fighting to stay in the starting lineup last year which I think contributed to his hard work on the defensive end and offensive end. This year he has been giving the job with no real competition and no fear of losing his starting roll because we dont have a legit backup center. If this was last year Phil would have pulled him along time ago. Per Phil last year, the reason why Bynum wasnt getting alot of time on the floor was because he didnt understand were he was suppose to be on defense. Well its happening again. I just dont understand how a guy that said he wanted to be a 20/10 guy, make the all-star team, and make team USA can play like this. Its very frustrating.

wow, first we let nate robinson go off big and now jameer nelson. what is it with small guards just absolutely carving us up?

Over the course of these 3 important games (spurs, magic, cavs) i thought we'd be at least 2-1. now there's a very good chance for the goose egg :x .

A good thing to hear this morning; That Phil is recognizing right now that defense is the problem. I haven't heard much of that, ever. So, hopefully Phil does something about it and drills them in our heads in practice.

I don't know why we bother going for home court advantage, there is no such thing any more for us.

I'd rather have our guys rest since they are racking up minutes for no reason.

Oh u might make the finals but just as a magic fanatic it would be sacreligous if i didnt think wed be there as well. and well uve seen wut we can do. but lets jus say that we dnt make it ( which is just crazy talk) i would definately hope u knock LeBron an his ass. cuz i honestly dont think the Celts will make it again they have to go through too much athletisism in the east. plus their all a bunch of p***y's.
