    Something I noticed last night for the first time from Andrew Bynum was a new level of confidence. Remember when the Lakers first drafted him, he looked like scared kid, soft spoken, hands in his pockets, hunched over, and self-concious.</p>

    Up until last night I noticed he would hunch his shoulders after a mistake or missed shot and get down about himself. However, last night I noticed some swagger coming from Bynum. He shot an airball from close up and instead of hunching his shoulders he sprinted down the court to play defense and made a defensive stop.</p>

    Bynum had a bounce in his step last night and his aggressive nature is starting to come out. Those dunks last night in traffic had some UMPH in them. He wanted to send a message to the Spurs frontcourt by ripping the ball through the rim. He was also very active on the offensive glass and did a much better job of trapping out on the perimeter.</p>

    Bynum looked very fluid and confident last night instead of flat footed stiff.</p>

    I know his night was cut short by a b.s. ejection, but I think Bynum just turned the corner on his career.</p>

    His energy seemed to ruboff on the rest of his teammates with Odom and Radman attacking hard to the rim.</p>
