"Andrew (Bynum is) going to be great," Brown said, "but I still see spots like last night where Zach Randolph had his way with us in the post. So I'm looking to come back and try to establish our post defense." Brown will get that chance for the first time this season when he comes off the bench for the Lakers tonight against Detroit. He missed the last six games of the preseason and first six games of the regular season after injuring his right shoulder. After returning to practice Thursday, Brown's shoulder was able to withstand a couple of blows from Bynum and forward Brian Cook. His biggest concern has been using his right arm to fend off players in the post. "It's just when it gets late in the game, I'm going to probably have to just soldier through it because it gets fatigued and it starts to hurt," Brown said. "It's just something I'm going to have to deal with." </div> Source
Well, I'm glad that he seems positive to playing defense, and not be one of those guys who, if they can't score, half asses it on the other end.
Great news for the Lakers. Our frontcourt rotation is really helped out by this and this will definitely solidify our post defense even more.
