17 pts on 7-10 shooting is struggling? Only 5 boards but 50 as a team so Im not too worried about that.

In the triangle Pau and Bynum had a rough time together, I didn't see a issue offensively tonight however.

The reason he never avgs 10 rbds is definitely cuz he's injured a lot. However, it's easy for the whole team to just avg 10 per big cuz you know, they literally have Gasol,Bynum,Odom(used to have), Artest, etc. You don't need one Kevin Love player doing 20 rbds when you can divide it 4+ ways.

He averaged 9.4 rebounds in 27 minutes last season.

keep bynum and ship gasol. a trade like lowry and scola for gasol since houston wanted gasol

When Bynum gets injured - and he will at some point - then Gasol becomes crucial.

And we knew this because he was eating damn near 4th off the plate most nights, and was still getting double digit points.

Kobe played like an idiot down the stretch. Feed the bigs.

of course he can, what you talking about. he's a great rebounder and now with no odom, he'll be even greater.

he's had 94 double digit rebound games out of 332 in his career, that's nowhere near being a great rebounder.

no arguing with those stats. yep.

per 36 rebounds last 5 yrs: 12.2, 9.9, 9.9, 12.7, 9.7

his TRB last yr was 6th in the league

How? Did the Lakers trade Odom for Bynum or something?

Odom took a lot of touches away from Bynum, and what he's trying to say is now that Bynum is getting more touches he's making up for the loss of Odom.

Bynum is a force. It's comical how nets fans are still dilusinal thinking Lopez is the better player. They need to forget about Dwight and focus on keeping deron away from Dallas. Orlando will not take their garbage especially with a stress fracture on lopezs foot.

I rather keep Dwight to be honest.

And lose him for nothing?

I like how many are neglecting the fact that Bynum posted these 1 game numbers against the mighty center duo of Timofey Mozgov and Al Harrington :lol:

We've seen this before, Bynum doesn't have the physical or mental toughness to keep this up. Bynum is a mental midget it's TOO EASY for good teams to MINDGAME him out of the game.

if i could guarantee that bynum would stay injury free i'd rather have him over dwight, honestly. i'm afraid dwight's "offensive game" will resemble the disaster we're starting to see from amare this season once dwight's athleticism slows down in a 4-5 yrs. drew, injury free, can remain a top center in the league till he's 33-34 on his skill and length. unfortunately, drew is bound to get injured, so i'm all in for the dwight for drew trade. and no this is not an overreaction post. i've felt this way for about a year now. the other thing is, bynum doesn't really have that many weaknesses in his game. with howard you have to worry about the FT's.

Big AB looks great! he is alot better than Dwight and a legit #1. but everything is great until this happens.

Heaven101 · Post #37 » by **Heaven101** » Sat Dec 31, 2011 11:15 pm

Plus Bynum is younger than Dwight with higher ceiling as well. I bet LAL will be holding out even for a straight up trade for Dwight soon at this rate

rockynpolo · Post #38 » by **rockynpolo** » Sat Dec 31, 2011 11:15 pm

Andrew Bynum looks like he's ready to lead a team. As long as he stays healthy I'd rather have him in my in my Magic team than gamble on Broke Lopez. If we can get rid of Hedo's albatrose contract with D12 then Otis should build around Bynum. LET'S GOOOO!!!!

Were you even watching the game? I take it you weren't from your comment.

Sounds like a pretty big weakness to me if he can't even play for a full season.
