    Wait what? the author is pretty dumb if he thinks Odom is the Lakers best defensive big man. Bynum's presence has a much bigger impact and can frustrate teams.

    I think it has, in a way.

    I think he tries forcing it to get going early and it hurts the team. He needs to work his way down into the post in the flow of the offense. He still needs to create for others.

    He tries to post up too much now, like Mamba said, at times it seems like he's forcing it. I don't think he's used to using his new tricks right now. It'll be a learning process, especially when Pau returns.

    He has a new playing style, just has to work it out a bit more. We'll be fine.

    Or maybe Jordan during his last three titles when he averaged fewer assists but made a nice living in the post.
