Tweet of the Day: “Caught Andrew Bynum (ankle) on the way out. He’s sore, but told me he is “fine” & “definitely” playing on Tuesday vs NJ.” -- LakersReporter (Lakers.com’s Mike Trudell)

Having said that, we’re really looking ragged on D these days. Bynum isn’t crashing boards like he was earlier and he’s not altering/blocking as many shots, either.” -- Jamie Sweet
