I would never enjoy the misfortunes of any athlete or any other human being in general, but when you consistently go out and jeopardize other player's careers simply because you're losing and you're angry...you don't deserve to play.

The hit on Barea, Wallace, and Beasley were all completely unnecessary hits and all could have easily ended those player's careers.

It's like...no one deserves to get into a car accident. But if one guy has been in three drunk driving accidents, where he was drunk and could have killed three other people...he deserves to crash himself into a brick wall the next time he's drunk and behind the wheel. It's karma.

Its just difficult to ref a big guy. Its only natural that his moves will appear as fouls on players much small than him. You can't expect a player of Drew's size to play soft...

Bynum does indeed have these games at times when he doesn't get any touches on the offensive side. However he changed that mentality after last years all star break in which he accepted the role of being a defensive anchor.

This year Bynum needs to be the #2 option/ #1 low post scorer.

Just admit you don't have a damn clue about what you're talking about. Another game with big time rebound numbers. 15/15 today, don't know how it got into your brain that Drew could never average 10 RPG.

i can see the shoulder fouls, thing is, drew is so tall that lowering his shoulder doesnt necessarily hit his defender in the chest, it hits the defenders shoulder and neck area

and the hooks, he's worked on keeping the chicken wing connected to his body. once there's separation, then its a hook and a foul

Marc Gasol is easily the best positional defender outside of Howard. I was shocked how well he held his ground.

Did marc get owned or did he just had an off night? Wow 0-9. Defense was good though.

Bynum has come back to Earth a little bit. Just 8-23 in his last 2 games, but he missed alot of makable shots. He'll have a huge game against that undersized Phoenix frontline.

Best rebounder in the league. I don't want the Lakers to trade him for Howard.

Why not? As much as I love Bynum he's injury prone. If the Magic accept a straight up swap for Dwight you do it and don't think twice about it.

Game vs Golden State Bynum looked extremely tired.

He could have easily had 20+ points tonight against the Grizz in this game as well, missed a few easy shots here and there.

Rebounding has not been down though, which is very important to the team.
