12/15: LA Lakers @ Indiana Pacers. 4:00pm

[Day in the Life]

Bynum coming off the bench should be regular. I love how LO/Gasol have been pouncing on teams from the get go.

Thanks for the B-Day wishes fellas, great win tonight.

Happy belated bro.

As for the game, great win. We came out strong from the gates and never let up. Now that we're mostly back to full health I expect these types of performances on a regular basis. Drew's not looking all that great out there, but him coming back is huge as it gives Pau some time to recuperate. Drew will eventually find his timing and get back to being effective on the offensive end, so for now he just needs to take care of the boards and protect the basket. I like that he's willing to give hard fouls instead of allowing easy layups like Pau.

Our next 3 games should be cake walks (@PHI, @TOR, MIL) and then we start facing some real competition (MIA, @SAS, @NOH).

Is it just me or does Drew looks really huge now? o.O

He bulked up on his chest area.

During his exit interview he did say he was going to work on his body in order to abosrb contact as he is going up to finish.

Im glad Bynum is playing limited minutes as a reserve. I really dont want to see him playing over 24 minutes until the play-offs, the lesser time he spends in the floor, the lesser the chances of getting injured. We need him healthy, we can do well without him playing big minutes. I also love watching Gasol-Odom playing together!
When we play against big Cs such as Dwight Howard it would be good for him to spare more time on the floor, since we know Gasol suffers against them. Otherwise, limit´em.

Not a bad assessment but his minutes will have to increase enough for him.to get a rhythm going. On "D" he. Looks pretty decent but offensively he's a fish outta water.

Atm he is playing 17 minutes per game, plus he has only played 2 games since he came back. Give him 10 games and he will be as efficient as usual.
How many minutes do you reckon he needs to "get a rhythm going"?

Not sure @PHI and MIL are cake walks. Milwaukee was a possession away from sweeping Texas and Philly's been playing well lately.

I expect them to win all six games though

Didn't have a number i just wanted your thoughts. I just think his minutes should increase gradually each game.
