Hey I wanted to make a Bynum thread! But wanted to wait til after the deadline just in case haha.

I've been a fan since 07 and haven't stopped being one.. just was waiting for the time when he stops getting freak injuries. Hope he stays healthy, he's nothing like an injury prone player like Oden (which is what many people were saying the last few years). I've been telling people how monstrous he is. I hope everyone takes notice soon. He's a **** monster baby.

Tonight it was the spin move around Kaman. Last night it was a really pretty pivot and reverse layup from underneath the rim, with no glass -- something you'd expect from Gasol.

If he stays healthy that'll go away. I think he's pretty timid at making certain moves at times like he said in the 3rd quarter of the Celtics game. After bumping knees with Bass it scared him enough to take it easy until he got that out of his head.

If you remember that's what I've been asking all along. I said what if the guy stays healthy through this season as well as next? He would at that point be more consistently healthy than the time he spent hurt.

Bynum really has been in beast mode for stretches since '08 but got injured each time.

Could be. A lot of it's just his body type, period. He's so tall and so long, it's pretty hard not to be awkward. Even guys like Kareem and Gasol, for all their grace, were pretty angular. But it looks like he's definitely coming into his own a little bit. He and Pau are really, really playing well together lately. It's fun to watch. If only we didn't have a bunch of D-Leaguers from four through 12...

Yeah he & Pau are an absolutely nightmare to for opposing teams. As far as those D league guys that better change by noon.
