- Dave McMenamin of ESPNLA.com notes Andrew Bynum's determination to contribute whatever he can to this postseason run, despite a right knee sure to require surgery this summer. (It's interesting, given the revival of Bynum-for-Chris Bosh rumors this week, to note the leap in Drew's maturity during the playoffs. There was a moment a few weeks back when Bynum was asked if felt, in his fifth year, like a veteran. He said no, because he hasn't accomplished enough as a player. I was impressed, and have remained so since. It doesn't make Bynum any less injury prone, but he should be commended.)
- Forum Blue and Gold looks at Kobe Bryant's increased scoring of late, and explains why it's happening.
- We all know Pau Gasol is good. Charley Rosen of FoxSports.com digs into Gasol's vast skill set.
- Are we being too critical of Amare Stoudemire's defense?
- Simply calling him a "glue guy" diminishes Lamar Odom's contributions, teammates say.
