Nice!

It's the first, but definitely not the last time this happens.


Next time, please provide link and source.

Wow, good job Drew. Didn't expect it, but I'm glad he did get it. He deserved it this week.

Sweet, and congratulations to Bynum.

Also, a shout out to the cock gobblers that wrote the article in the wiretap for showing LeBron's stats and not Bynum's. Clowns.

Here's what Bynum put up in 4 games last week:

31.8 MIN
23.5 PTS (63% FG)
11.5 REB
2.3 BLK

he's definitely earning it. I'm glad he showed up vs Duncan so the media couldn't write the other games off.

How could 30.5 points, 8.8 assists, 9.8 rebounds and 2.3 steals in 41.4 minutes per game win you the eastern conference player of the week? Now they are just giving it away.

It's ridiculous, man. Same thing when Kobe won it earlier this season with Wade*. They gave like two paragraphs to Wade and said "Kobe Bryant was the Western Conference Player Of The Week" just like with Bynum and Lebron.

*I'm pretty sure it was Wade but too lazy to check, lol.

Anyway, great job Bynum! He's been playing great for us. Hopefully he keeps it going strong. :D

congrats. he is the missing key weve been waiting for. like shaq or not, it was the "in the paint" strength that we sorely lacked since he left. if kobe wouldve left, it wouldve been the perimeter game. but since shaq has left, that was the hole in the middle weve tried and tried again to fill. now with some experience and time under his belt, we will strongly defend the middle and contend for the title once again.

Probably a Wade fan or something. IDK but bitter or something.

Good job Big Drew! Many of our fans were not only doubting him but riding his back harshly. It was stated that he was concentrating on defense too much & I said then if that's how he's going to gain his confidence let him score & it has worked itself out!

Yeah the doubters are pretty quiet right now. I keep telling people I wouldn't trade him for anyone less than Howard or Yao (and Yao is way too injury prone and soft around the rim imo)......

When he plays like he has over the past week or so, what's to doubt? Most of us just wanted him to start concentrating on defense as much as he does offense -- hardly unreasonable, no?

As long as he realizes there are two facets to the game, and he approaches both with the effort he gave on Sunday, I'll never have anything but praise and appreciation for him.
