On Bynum, he impressed me, which I didn't think he would. I am a fan of Mahinmi in the 'cult-hero' category (does that exist in the US?) but I didn't miss him despite his good game.
What Bynum did was demonstrate to me that an offensive center to come in with the second unit is actually a good thing.
PS: always critical, I was raving about ET after his first game and that didn't turn out the way I wanted it to, so far. So let's see how Bynum keeps things going.
