The Lakers are doing an amazing job of blocking out the paint.

I should have qualified my statement by saying "Bynum has been a disappointment THIS YEAR". Bynum clearly has top-5 C potential, IMHO.
With Gasol there, you'd expect some stats to suffer, but others should improve...yet his #s are down across the board vs. last year. (almost 10% in FG% and down 2.5 reb/game). if he's not actually taken a step back this year, he's sure not made any progress either.
Bottom line, Bynum should be good for a double double almost every night and right now he's not.

Hmmm, his percentages are suspect; but in terms of totals his minutes went down compared to last year too.
Whatever. The kid is STILL only 21 years old. He'll bring it all together sooner or later.

have to agree with markT on this one. bynum has been a huge dissapointment this season. it's almost as if he dissappeared after his fat contract. hopefully he doesn't follow shawn kemp's career after his contract.
any fantasy players unlucky to pick up bynum with a high draft pick know what i mean.
who has been surprising? Danny granger, Nene, Biedrins...

Biedrins hasn't been surprising at all. I took him pretty high. I also had Bynum on my team but picked him way lower. Granger was a huge surprise though. Where the hell did he come from?? LOL
Devin Harris has been huge too.

Biedrins is going to be a monster C, especially if he learns to shoot free throws :P
I had him last year and the year before in one league. Finally this season he's seeing consistent playing time. sometimes it seems like Don Nelson draws names from a hat when deciding who to start, lol.
the moment Dallas pulled the trigger on the Kidd deal, I said they would seriously regret letting Harris go. they needed (need) a legit C to play with Dirk, not that PG switch.
speaking of the Mavs...If the Marion deal doesn't happen with Miami, I wonder if the Raps could send O'Neal to Dallas for Josh Howard (plus a player or two with ugly contracts to even out the salaries).
