Where did all of the Bynum haters go?

[DrHouse]

Bynum is currently averaging 21 pts and 12 rebounds per game.

This is not a fluke. This is what EVERY single Laker fan has been saying for the past two seasons. Bynum can be a very good player in this league, easily an All-Star considering how few real centers we have in the game, provided he stays healty. Two fluke injuries have derailed what would have been breakout seasons for Bynum.

I'm just laughing right now at all you morons who kept on saying Bynum was trash, garbage, not a good player, and most importantly that Laker fans were delusional and overrating this guy.

We knew what the fuck we were talking about. You didn't.

[Chieflion]

Oh, I thought with all the overrating, he would be averaging 30 points and 20 rebounds, along with 5 blocks. He is still underachieving.

[KSeal]

Bynum and Chris Bosh are the only two guys in the league averaging 20 and 10. And if he snatches five more boards then Noah on Thursday he'll be leading the league in rebounding. I know it's early but still. Way to go Drew :toast

Exactly.

:lmao at the idiot Spur fans who keep sticking their feet into their fat mouths. First it was "Kobe can't win without Shaq", and then it was "Bynum is garbage". You clowns don't know what the fuck you are talking about.

[IronMexican]

I thought he would be good this season, but he is well out-playing what I expected. Nice to see.

[Def Rowe]

I gotta say I'd like him to work harder on defense, but you can't dispute his overall numbers this season.

[Purple & Gold]

He's always had the size and shooting touch. It was only a matter of time and staying healthy.

[j.dizzle]

props to andrew but hes still not 100% confident when hes going for blocks & when he jumps..Barring injuries, he'll be beasting like a mother fucker in a month or two.

[Shaquille O'Neal]

but would he be this good if decent centers were still playing?
I'd average 35 a game if i was his age.

They were just Laker haters that know nothing about basketball talent. Some questioned his durability and that was justified. The ones who said he was overrated as a player have all disappeared as they are preparing their crow for Thanksgiving dinner.

I'll do a search one day and list the many idiots and their quotes. I think I'll post it on All Star night when AB goes up for the jump ball to start the game.

His numbers will drop some when Pau returns... but us faithfiul all along pointed out that prior to Pau becoming a Laker he was dominant, prior to his injury last year he was showing the same promise, and now you are seeing just THE BEGINNING. He just turned 22. Bad news for all those Laker Haters indeed. :toast

agreed, 3 yrs ago i would wonder if he was already in the HOF by the likes of DR house and others talking about him. Its only befitting that he finally be good after so long...and he is GOOD. He seems more patient and doesn't have that arrogant asswipe KG" anger problem crap any more either.

People were just trying to give you the heads up. I mean he's 22 not 32 :lol

[mystargtr34]

Bynum is beastinn... but most Laker fans were so quick to trash Al Jefferson about how he was over rated because he didnt play any defense...

Bynum has been less than impressive defensively this season, yet you dont seem to worry about the other side of the ball all of a sudden.

Just sayin.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I'd just like to publicly state that I never doubted Bynum's emergence this year.

However, I did raise serious issues about the Faker bench, stating that the Fakers are top heavy and very thin on talent after their 7th man (Shannon Brown). At the time I was shouted down by that ad hominem junkie Purple and Gold, amongst others. I thought it would take until mid-season, but 10 games into the season and that thin bench has already been exposed to the wolves. You stand corrected. :D

[Muser]

Durability is a concern, but not taking anything away from him he's beasting while Pau is out.

Check out Andrew Bogut then. I'm looking forward to he and Bynum matching up. Same with both of those guys against Lopez.

Yep, Andrew Bogut is a smart player who tries to do all the little things to help his team. The second reason after Jennings that the Bucks are actually winning games right now.

[Danny.Zhu]

Once other teams takes him seriously, he will become worthless again.

But he did have a great season so far. Numbers don't lie in most occasions.

See Memphis Grizzlies, Golden State Warriors and Toronto Raptors.

[ElNono]

His numbers will be back to normal when Gasol comes back.
I have to give him props because when he entered the league it didn't look like he had the work ethic, but he has proven that he does.
It's a shame it's a guard's league nowadays, otherwise he could have been a difference maker. Durability is still a concern though.

Duncan's defense hasn't looked too hot either.

Bynum is getting 2 blocks a game and is a very good post defender. He struggles guarding smaller big men that like to take their game outside - which they take outside for a reason. Opposing centers are averaging 48% inside the paint against Bynum. Compare that to Duncan's 57% or Dwight's 45%.

Hilarious that you brought up Al Jefferson though. His defense is closer to Tim Duncan than it is to Andrew Bynum's this season. :lol

No Lakers fan on this board every implied or stated that Andrew would average anything close to 30 and 20.

We did however say that he's easily a 20/10 center with the right touches/minutes or on a team built around him. Guess what? We told you so.

[DenDen]

Still overrated, still not impress. Getting force feed, putting numbers against midget teams, while letting 6'6 center get carrear highs. Bynum ain't shit, let's see how he do against team with legit centers, to bad there few in number, how convient.

I like Bynum's game-especially his soft touch around the rim. He plays like a true center and it's enjoyable to watch.

ATM yes, only cause yao is sideline with a broken foot, how convient. When healthy yao>>>>>>>>>>bynum, only a laker homer would disagree. You're a laker homer so your biassing is understandable. I'm a Rocket fan 2nd, and nba fan 1st, and I think d12 is the best center in the leauge, follow by Yao >>>>>(fillers)>>>>> bynum. Bynum isn't even the best center on the laker, that title belong to pau. With that being said congratulation Andrew bynum western allstar center*

Last season he was bothering shots a whole lot more than he is now. He showed that he can play defense. Now he's using most of his energy on the offensive end looking for fast break points.

[HarlemHeat37]

Bynum's looking great this season, no hate..it'll be interesting to see how the Lakers manage their shots and spacing when Gasol returns..

Hope he stays healthy..seems like a good guy, so sucks about the injuries..Kobe deserves to die, but I hope Bynum stays healthy..

[Muser]

Bynum punked Shaq, so he's cool with me.

Haha. Funny how emotional people get over Kobe. Absolutely hilarious that you care that much.

I would say Yao is definitely not as good as Bynum at this age.

But right now, Yao>>>>>Bynum and that's a fact.

[iggypop123]

people say his defense sucks. i think he just doesn't try as much, but at the end of the day he is still averaging 2 blocks a game

[LnGrrrR]

I can't hate this season; game don't lie.

However, I am fervently hoping he starts choking, or loses his touch around the rim, or some non medical injury related calamity befalls him.

[DPG21920]

Bynum's numbers were just as beastly last year before he got hurt. This is not a surprise.

:lmao Wait the Lakers All-Star PF hasn't even played a second this year and the Lakers are still 8-3. But yet you're already trying to suck your own dick. WTF HAHA. I knew you took yourself a little too seriously but this is down right ridiculous. You yourself even said this is a non-issue in the playoffs, so unless you think the bench will be the demise of the Lakers and cause them to miss the playoffs you should learn to STFU. In case you don't know how basketball works the addition of Gasol moves Odom to the bench and basically turns Powell and Mbenga into mop up minutes. That allows the Lakers to always have 2 of the 3 (Odom, Bynum, Gasol) on the court at all times. You and you're 20+ years of basketball should have taught you that. By the way that was another ad hominem attack for you in case you missed it :blah :blah :blah :blah

A limping Duncan averages 21 and 12, a more mobile version of him should be averaging 35/25/6.

[Allanon]

Bynum's defense has gotten progressively better since the beginning of the season. His offensive game is much more polished this year. He still has to work on his balance in the post and kick-outs but his progress is pretty astounding for a 22 year old.

The dude has the size, length and talent. It's always been a question of minutes and his desire to be great.

He's getting the minutes and showing a desire to be good.

Maybe a bit early to save a slot for him in Springfield but he's showing signs of being a franchise Center.

As a Laker fan the only issue I have with Baby Drew is that he can never seem to catch a lob clean and flush it...He looks ackward and silly at times...He doesn't seem to have good timing / anticipation on either side of the ball and he doesn't seem to have good hands...He keeps trying to put the ball on the floor instead of going straight up with it and that's why he's always getting stripped...He doesn't seem to be a fast learner...or intuitive like Pau...but he's a young big body enforcer so we'll need him...

Wow...just wow! One of AB's best assets is his soft hands. He catches the ball well. Probably his 2nd best attribute is that when in traffic he rarely brings the ball down. Fast learner? He just turned 22 and has more post moves and quality footwork than the majority of centers in the game today. I really don't know what games you are watching... but clearly it's not Laker games with Drew. You couldn't be more wrong :bang

ok I can concede the hands debate cause I don't know if they're soft or not . ;-) but he brings the ball down (to a get a single bounce) before attacking the rim more than I'd like to see. He doesn't have good timing / anticipation of the lob as a big man. I think it's that he's just so excited to score (to prove he's an All-Star) till he forgets intuitive things. I'm just not convinced of his quality footwork....he seems sloth footed to me...now Dwight Howard has good foot movement he just doesn't have too many moves because he's working with Ewing...Bynum needs to tighten up before I'm ready to say he's ready...but you're right he's young and learning...I do see the effort though...he needs to keep it up...

[mogrovejo]

Idk what has been so bad about Bynum's defense.

Slowness (reacting and moving) and lack of awareness. He doesn't show up on ballscreens and when he does he stands there too long and doesn't get back to his man on time; he's too slow rotating; he gets caught staring at the ball and losing his man. And he's just too passive, sometimes he seems lazy. He'd be good 10/20 years ago, when perimeter shooting bigs were rare, it was easier to stop penetration with the hand-checking and guys like Eaton could make a career as a defensive stopper without leaving the low post.

I've taken a lot of heat here by saying that Bogut was a better player than Bynum and that the Bynum/Gasol combo is fools gold - the Lakers are a better team with Odom in the line-up. The Bynum/Gasol works great against teams that lack size and defence, but versus the good ones? Nah... still solid, of course, but not as good as the Odom/Gasol one.
