The problem with Bynum is he consistently doesn't step up in big games.
Other than the game at Boston this year, I cannot remember another time he played well against a good team.
They need him to start making strides, he is paid too much to be a bit player.

The thing with Bynum is if he doesn't get touches his involvment in the game just disappears. Thats one area he is different from Pau, Pau will go on playing, getting the boards anf whatever comes his way. Bynum needs to learn to play off the ball!! _________________ New Beginings

6 points and 6 rebounds in 26 minutes is not a bad game for a $15M starting center? _________________ We only celebrate championships.

Exactly. People are blind to see that Bynum for the majority on the post looks for his own period.
I think some people expect Bynum to be Kareem or something, he isn't. He should step up more and be more consistent. As a 7 feet tall and 285 lb center, he should be scary, but he isn't. He's no Kareem or Shaq, but he's not Mbenga.

he was passing out of double teams. when he attacked, he was inside.
sure, there were some shots that he should have made, but you can say that about pau and even ronron. why do you think phil pulled pau out of the game in the 4th? pau didn't keep playing. he let nene bully him for a lot of the game. fortunately, he started playing like a man and attacked the basket. _________________ 'How many kids can say growing up that they'll turn pro and play for their favorite team in the world and spend your entire career there?

Pau 15 - 14 10 more minutes. Andrew is more effective with more PT and touches. He has to be more professional but I don't think his game was bad for the time he was on the floor. He's not making 15 mil it's 12 and that has nothing to do with the way he plays. Money can't block shot or make baskets. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

pau was also 6-14 and only 50% at the ft line.
so if you're going to comment about drew not making pau's money, then pau needs to step up more.
i just glad that pau stepped it up toward the end of the game when it matter though. drew isn't effective when he gets in early foul trouble. it does make a difference when he's allowed to be as physical as his man, like nene was today. _________________ 'How many kids can say growing up that they'll turn pro and play for their favorite team in the world and spend your entire career there?

We're gonna argue the Bynum/Pau issue, the fact of the matter is Pau is way better than Bynum, simply because as of right now Bynum cannot play off the ball. ON a team like this with many offensive weapons you have to learn to do just that! Bynum is much tougher than Pau, but he does NOT play tough against strong line ups.. It was evident in the Boston game, and it was tonight.
Phil benched Pau cause he was playing like a *****, getting knocked all over the place..not for lack of effort, because Pau was bringing it. _________________ New Beginings

Did anybody see the play where Lawson hurt his shoulder? It looked like Bynum gave him a hard foul right on his shoulder. I think that little guy will think twice about coming in the lane next time we play them. lol

Bynum does give lots of a hard fouls which is a nothing but a good thing in today's NBA. Absolutely vital to the Lakers interior D. Great luxury which allows Pau to be fresher to close the game (even though he's 35% in the clutch this season).

Bynum is never going to be a franchise player. Why do some Laker fans continue to believe this? He's just not that good and we overpaid to keep him. Good to see Ron improving on both ends; he was the POG today.

yes he did. I said this in another thread. They are going to call a foul on the poor guy whether its a foul or not, might as well kill who ever comes to the hole who thinks the can get there at will.

Bynum with the intangibles.
Seriously though. I forget who put TP on his ass back in 2003 (?) that turned the series after an 0-2 hole. Same scenario different year. Put players on their ass and watch them tiptoe through the lane. Or sit on the sideline with an icepack/wrap the rest of the game as a spectator.
