And The Crowd Goes Silent!!!

In the midst of the Lakers longest winning streak in 4 years the Lakers 20 year old center Andrew Bynum goes down with a knee injury. Much of the Lakers recent success has been attributed to Bynum's elevated play. He's been a Monster in the middle averaging a double double (13.1 points, 10.2 rebounds). On Sunday versus the Memphis Grizzlies Bynum was going up for a rebound and landed on Lamar Odom's foot twisting his knee on the way down. Today, it was released that he will be out for at least 8 weeks. That leaves Kwame Brown in the middle and the Lakers without there second biggest threat. This could not have come at a worse time considering the Lakers have long road trip coming up and their next 3 games are against the top three teams in the west Phoenix, San Antonio, and Dallas. If they can keep some of the momentum they have and get through the next stretch they should be alright, but it's going to be tough. Bynum get well soon, please!!!!
