i agree he outplayed dwight the first quarter. Im still debating whether those blatant fouls were good or not. It kind of prevented Dwight to get going.
The entire 1st quarter and most of the time they were matched up. Just sayin. A 21 year old with a bad wheel punking Orlando's franchise player is kinda funny.
21 years old.

Andrew Bynum, the next Wilt Chamberlain, you heard it here first!!!!
He just needs to stop picking up those cheap fouls. He played pretty good though.
It's arguable. But, neither were great. Howard still did a good job on the glass and pitched in with 2 assists and 2 steals and 2 blocks. And, he got the Lakers big men in foul trouble. He was largely ineffective scoring the ball, but he also had the unenviable task of facing a lot of collapsing defense in the paint because his teammates weren't hitting shots. Bynum was better than he has been in a while but still not like he dominated, plus he wasn't getting any double teams, much less triple teams or the whole defense collapsing on him.
And, Bynum does not have a bum wheel. Don't make it more dramatic than it is. And, it's not like Dwight isn't young also. He's still only 23 years old. I don't know why you had to list Bynum's age.
Bynum played better than expected and arguably played slightly better than Dwight in the first quarter. Switch them and put Dwight on the Lakers and Bynum on the Magic last night, what do you think the chances are that Bynum could even make an argument of playing better than Dwight? Probably zero chance.
The fact that this is even debatable means Bynum is doing his job.
yea he did
Are you stupid? Where did anyone say that?Andrew Bynum, the next Wilt Chamberlain, you heard it here first!!!!
Just stop talking. You're the guy that wanted to trade Kobe Bryant for Durant so the Lakers coulld resign Lamar Odom.

Ya um Dwight is only 23, 2 year difference yet Bynum is no where as near to what Howard as accomplished so far....
Bynum posted 8 and 4 on Dwight in the first. It isn't arguable at all. The 1st quarter anyway. But then Bynum had a strong start in the 3rd when he altered Dwight's hook, then another driver and blocked a shot before picking up a cheap 4th foul.
Never said Bynum dominated him and Dwight did not see triple teams or any real hard doubles. The game plan was to deny Dwight he ball, defend him straight and not let him have any energy dunks. Bynum executed the latter very well.
He had one dumb foul when he was reaching behind Dwight, but the other two hard fouls were good. His 4th was a real weak and shouldn't have been called.
Yes he does. You don't know what you're talking about here. Bynum has nowhere close to the lift or explosiveness he had without that huge brace. He even missed a wide open finish because he was afraid to put the weight on his knee. He's not completely healthy out there and still outplayed the best center in the game in his limited minutes.
That's fine. I could give a about Dwight's accomplishments or Bynum's. Point is, here's a 21 year old that isn't even 100% healthy playing like this on a team with Kobe and Pau Gasol.
Bynum has been getting alot of hate these playoffs. Fact is, if Bynum can get healthy next year the Lakers will be even scarier the next two seasons than they are right now.
Again, the fact anyone is even arguing about this means Orlando is in trouble.
Premature Ejaculation
How many people collapse on howard when he has the ball?
And Bynum?
Dwight needs a ing postup move. That being said i think he is years ahead of Yao and any other C
I can agree Bynum outplayed Howard in the first quarter. I said arguably because I factored in how they were defended. But, sure, Bynum outplayed Howard in the first quarter. Again, if Bynum were being defended the way the Lakers defended Howard and vice versa, it's doubtful Bynum outplays Howard. That was my point.
And, I think it's ridiculous when people over dramatize injuries. Is Bynum 100%? Probably not. But he's healthy enough to play. He's not limping noticeably, he's not laboring or struggling out there. It's silly to exaggerate an injury to try to hype a player more than he deserves. He played a solid first quarter. He outplayed Dwight Howard for that first quarter. No need to be melodramatic about it.
Bynum has been hyped up e ver since he dunked on Shaq.
The Lakers have improved more with Ariza than Bynum. Ariza has been amazing on both sides of the floor, sheesh...why doesn't anybody ever give him credit?
I'm no over dramatizing his injury but the fact remains he isn't anywhere close to 100%. Anyone who has watched him play on a regular basis before his injury can see that. He may not be limping but his lack of explosiveness and lift is very noticeable. Something that will come back when his knee has chance to fully recover and he can back to where he was pre-injury.
He must really be in pain. The Lakers should sit him the rest of the Finals. Poor guy.
Oden > Bynum
Oden will retire ringless tlongII
Only a true moron thinks he can see clearly every future event for the next 10+ years.
After watching this years playoffs i can honestly say id rather have Kendrick Perkins than Andrew Bynum......
What else would you expect from the next Jabbar, Chamberlain and Shaq roled into one.
I was only joking around, chill the out. You're such a .
Let's just say Bynum sucked less than Howard...in the first quarter, at least.
