The new Andrew Bynum
Bynum has been playing off the charts since the all star break. He has shown an impressive improvement offensively as well as defensively. I personally am suprised as I have been very critical of him since last year. If he can keep the intensity and continue this high level of play I don't think it's being naive to say the Lakers are a contender this season and a 3peat is a strong possibility.

Best center in NBA when HealthyComment -
Better than Dwight Howard, don't think so, healthy or not...Comment -
No way he stays healthy all the way through playoffs.Comment -
No way he gets injured again, the guy is a beast and will stay beastly for many years to comeComment -
This guy will take Lakers over the hump to the 3-peat...Comment -
Bynum will do the physical dirty work needed.......Lakes are tough to handle when he is healthy.Comment -
yeah in the past 8 games very very impressive, the lakers need him to stay like this going into the playoffs to have any chance at all of making it past the 2nd round but Bynum is a rebounding machine right nowComment -
He's been crashing the boards hard, and that is what they need most from himComment -
He is suddenly a strong force. Like you guys have said though injuries have always been a factor with Bynum. I hope he is able to stay healthy and injury free throughout the rest of the season and definitely for the playoffs.Comment -
last 10 he has helped my fantasy team from 4th to 2nd, grabbing a ton of boards and high fg pctComment -
Well if hes not 100%, Gasol is too soft. The Lakers could be in for some problems come playoff time.Comment -
looked at him the other day, reminded me of Shaq back in thedayComment -
What's great about Pau and Bynum is that they both shoot free throws pretty well. This really does make a big difference, especially late in games, and into the playoffs. Howard (and Shaq) were both dominant despite their FT shooting, but it really does give the Lakers a unique edge in their big men.Comment -
guys tall as fukk.Comment -
Lakers are like -900 to win with a healthy team again
too big and strongComment -
he's definitly making up for kobe's poor playComment -
bynum the fukkin enforcer. i love it. i just hope he can remain healthy through the entire playoffs. 3peat bitches.Comment -
It's not just Bynum, make no mistake about it.
It's mostly about Artest.Comment -
Most definitely. Artest has definitely exceeded expectations and is active on both sides of the ball. Creating turnovers on defense and hitting shots when it counts on the offensive side. However Artest has been doing this all season and to have Bynum finally doing what he is there for is a huge plus for the Lakers. Once again today agains the Heat Bynum is playing exceptional. Now if he can manage to stay healthy and avoid getting in to foul trouble this could turnout to be the missing link the Lakers needed to go the distance in the 2011 season.Comment -
Bynum has been great for a few years now he just can't stay healthy.Comment -
Once again tonight Bynum gets the job done. Controlling the boards on offense and defense and making the FT's all night. Especially when it counts. I'm calling it now... if Bynum can stay healthy and continue this high level of play the Lakers could once again win the West and possibly the whole shabang!

Don't think anybody can beat the duo of Bynum/Gasol. It's not just Bynum that helps make the Lakers great, but the combination of the two. Who can match up with these two?Comment -
Wanted to bump this thread to take notice that Bynum has consistantly played good at seasons end and the 1st round of the playoffs.Comment -
Bynum has gone up a level. Lakers need it big time.Comment
