Official Bynum is a Headcase talk - fined for "infractions"

[Anklebreaker702]

Bynum is getting annoying, plays like a beast, has the mentality of a rookie.

This is accurate

I know people seem to like Bynum's "edge" or "rage" or whatever but come playoff time this kid is going to unravel yet again. The playoffs are as much a psychological game as it is a physical game and veterans see Bynum as vulnerable, easy to get agitated and then just watch him do something stupid. If Dalembert can do it just think of what actual playoff veterans can do to this guy?

You can't just aasume that. Bynum needs a balance like Kobe said. Meaning cut it off before you get thrown out & let your game do the talking. Honestly both ejections against Houston were suspect at best. The only playoff incidence was JJ talking ish while they were up by "150" in a close out game. I'll take it.

Until last year, Bynum wasn't enough of a factor for anyone to bother with him. Just watch this year. He'll crack under the playoff pressure - just like last year.

I really don't think so. It's not as complicated as you guys are making it. By going through it in the regular season prepares you for the post season.

Unfortunately Bynum wont be anymore be the defensive anchor he was post ASG last season. We need that bynum. Bynum getting a lot of touches makes our O worse, despite his efficiency and it showed when he was out but since the trade deadline (seems he really wanted to be traded) he wont try to play D as he should and without bynum patrolling the paint we can be beat by any team in this league because our O is not good enough to out-score other teams.

That's why we play with 2 centers clogging the paint plus ron craptest.

Someone needs to convince Bynum that what he gives on O, outside O boards, can easily be replaced with a bigman chucker. But what he could give us on D on nightly basis can only be replaced by 2-3 other centers and they are getting paid max or near max money. If we wanted an offensive big we can just play Pau Center and hire antwan jamison and he'll contribute to 20ppg and on top of that it also will make the life of our perimeter players MUCH MUCH MUCH easier...

We wont win ****, tho. But we aren't winning **** with bynum not giving his full effort and playing to his potential on D.

Not hating, just saying we need his D otherwise we lose in the 2nd round again, if not in the first.

I hope he gets his points up near to 20ppg and raises his boards avg a bit more so we can trade him for a superstar next summer because once Bynum signs his max contract (and 29 teams in the league will offer him the max) he'll shutdown

It's not just the technicals. Combine the Ts with the 3 pt fiasco, the elbow to jj, the smirking when Pau got dunked on, his nonchalant post game comments about "I'm going to keep shooting threes, hope they go in"...he's acting like a spoiled, bratty kid.
