Our bench has to step up tonight and shoulder the burden. Andrew Bynum also needs to man handle this undersized team. He's always struggled against Houston and doesn't take advantage of his length. He needs to realize he can shoot right over the top of Chuck Hayes or Scola and not try to run them over or back them down in the paint. Just shoot those baby hooks all night long and DO NOT bring the ball low. Bynum has a terrible habit of holding the ball at his hip instead of up high when he's surveying the defense. He got stripped last night by Westbrook so hopefully the coaching staff points that out to him. I'm looking forward to the Battier vs. Kobe matchup.
He has had a nice run so far. The obvious fly in the ointment, is that his stats are distorted by the 33 point pimp-slapping he delivered to Brandon Roy. He still needs to show that he has matured from streak scorer to consistent weapon. If he has, LA may yet regret losing him.
