Laker fans are down in the dumps now cause their suddenly phenom young center, Andrew Bynum may be out with an injury for some time, derailing the season.  Laker fans can cling to hope that they still have Phil Jackson.  If anybody can rally the troops ...  They can also hope that K-Brown finds some new game in his game.  It happened to Bynum, why not Kwame?

Seriously, the only thing the Lakers had was new hope  in Bynum.  Were they ever really contenders?  Were they elevated to pretenders?

Bynum's injury was inevitable.  He could not keep up with this new found zeal for the game of basketball.  He was a victim of his own mojo.
