    ^ watch the video, and Lamar's comments.

    Says Bynum looked awesome, awesome (with emphasis).

    Just watch the goddamn video.

    Also, Bynum is officially returning against Memphis. That'll give him two games before the postseason, which I think is just idiotic. Drew is looking good in practice, says he feels fine, teammates are giving him nothing but praise, but they continue to use "caution." Well one of these days you just gotta say, fuck it, if he's ready to go then he's ready to go.

    But whatever. All good news, yet again. But they always find something to piss me off with. If it was up to me he returns today. :drumroll:

    Maybe Phil doesn't want him to go in games because he is pushing him extra hard in practice trying to get his stamina back?

    Yeah, well, I'd rather see him get his stamina back in an actual game. But whatever. I guess they know what they're doing. I'm just growing impatient I cannot wait until he returns.

    Drew Could Return on Thursday???

    http://lakers.freedomblogging.com/2009/04/07/jackson-to-discuss-thursday-return-with-bynum/14833/

    Just the Lakers being more "conservative."

    They interviewed Luke after the game and he said Drew could suit up Thursday, so I dunno. We'll see what happens.

    I'd love to see him back on Thursday, but I can't blame the Lakers for being a little conservative with this. We need him for the playoffs and don't need anything happening to him again.

    Re: Bynum Injury Thread (Update: Day to Day, pg. 11)

    I read on NBA TV, scrolled on the bottom, that there is an outside shot he plays by the end of the week. Is it certain he comes back for at least Memphis?

    Lost how do you know it is official, just to clarify.

    Yes it is certain he will be back against Memphis. I know this because Phil himself stated in an interview that Drew will come back against Memphis because he wants Drew to face his demons (always getting injured playing Memphis).

    So unless Phil is lying, then it affirmative. :]

    From what I've read, he's supposed to at least play the last 2 regular season games, which I believe has been the plan all along.

    Word.

    I wish he could come back earlier, though. I'm kind of sick of the conservative approach.

    Says he is a game-time decision for Thursday. Basically if he doesn't feel sore, not sure what to believe though.

    I saw on the ESPN Bottom Line that he's returning tomorrow, and that would be according to Chris Broussard. Hopefully he's right, I'd love to see Bynum return tomorrow night, plus I'd get to actually watch it since the game is on TNT.

    What are you talking about? We are 2-0 against the Cavs this year.

    It would be funnier if they got out of the East though, the Cavs have struggled against the top teams in the league this season. Meh, I don't really care who we face :]
