so you think hes not moving well enough? i agree..but do you really wanna sit here and try telling me this is how he was moving prior to the injury? LOL, come on, now.

Thats what I was saying. The team obviously isnt perfect (as much as NIK tries to convince himself lol). But you arent going to change what youve been doing all year, in the playoffs.

Look.. Bynum doesn't have a great basketball IQ. He doesn't do good rotations, he doesn't close penetrations, he loses his man too much doubling opponents in the post, he's too lazy on the defensive rebounds. That said, prior to the injury he was jumping better, he was quicker, so since he is really huge, he was still intimidating. I mean if he raise his arms he's like a tower!! Now i see him slow, and him being so slow exposes his low basketball IQ on defense. It makes him look even worse than what he is. You know what the problem is? It's that he's not playing well in the other side of the floor too. So that makes him "a problem". He's not "one-dimensional", at the moment. He is "no-dimensional". And to have him on the floor is a huge luxury (in fact he is averaging just 15 minutes per game at the moment. I mean 15!!)

Nope. But unfortunately defense wins titles. So they betta do the thing i'm saying from months: keep Odom playing 35 minutes and let Bynum play just 15 minutes. Cause Odom defends. And let's use Shannon Brown more than Farmar, exactly like Phil is doing at the moment, cause he defends.

dude..bynum's basketball iq is not the reason hes been struggling. dwight howard has a worse basketball iq than bynum and look at him....the point is, his agility, footspeed, and explosion is gone, which is the number one reason he can't provide us with what he did in the regular season. come on, antonio.. its common sense. if he was playing like he did in december, we'd be more than good..PeACe
