Perkins is the only NBA big man I've seen shutting Bynum down with relative ease. I'm sure Bynum remembers and wants to send a message. That christmas game will be a lot of fun, I hope. :dontknow:

well, despite the loss bynum showed some more post moves and some improved explosion. he's getting his soft touch back around the rim, he had a nice spin move/dunk on rasho, and had a nice alley oop from odom where he had a reverse dunk.

Yeah dcash he's really getting there. I like the way Phil is starting to leave him in with the 2nd unit & making him the focal point of the offense. I think its building his confidence so when he's out there with the rest of the starters he's starting to look more fluid

I think he will be fine EE, Dampier pretty much man handled him in the 1st meeting in Dallas, but Drew wasn't having that in the 2nd meeting @ Staples.

bynum's post moves reached a level i hadn't seen before in the wiz game. pump fakes, spin moves, soft touch, it was all on display. the rate of improvement is dramatic. defensively, eh.

The offensive arsneal was amazing tonight. His 1-2 game with Kobe was pretty solid too. Bynum/Gasol seems to be working very fine now.

I can't ever remember seeing him pull an up-and-under, and I think he did it twice tonight. So yeah, the repertoire is rapidly expanding. I just wish he was improving as much defensively as he is on offense. That's what we need the most out of him, and I've been largely disappointed, especially after his good start.
