# Bynum to get MRI tomorrow on knee hyperextended when Krstic boxed him out. "Nah, I'm not too worried," Bynum said.

Let's pray to God he's right

While, yes, Pau stepped up at the end of the game last night, no apologies will be given for some incredibly weak performances during the regular season. He even faded into pansy Pau mode multiple times last night with Kobe out of the game.

I hear you, without Pau, we're looking at Game 7. So I get your point. But remember this: This is the man who wants to be the 1B to Kobe. With that comes criticism when you don't step up. I gave Pau props last night, but no apologies will be given.

I'd trade him to Cleveland for Varejao in a heartbeat

Yep, officially out the window. It's pretty much a guarantee that his knees will forever have some sort of problem. It will now be about tempering those problems and keeping him in as many games as possible

Bynum has a small tear in his right menescus, he is questionable for game one...which means he is NOT playing game 1. courtesy of JA Adande about 30 min ago

Definitively green was needed.
Bad days to black&white's sarcasm.

Bynum probably won't be needed in this series anyway with the Jazz probably looking to speed up the tempo with Okur out. Sit him for game 1 and hope he can manage the pain for the remainder of the series and the playoffs.
