42 points, then 23 points, a typical back to back for Kobe Bryant, only this time it wasn't Kobe leading the Lakers in scoring. It was young center Andrew Bynum. Obviously you do not want to get over excited about two games, but hopefully this is a sign of something from young Bynum. Today will tell more when he goes up against Tim Duncan and the San Antonio Spurs. Even though Bynum's big games came against low ranked teams, if he can build some confidence from these games and carry it on, it will make the Lakers that much better.
Flying under the radar the past two games has been Lamar Odom, he has also put together some solid gamesm posting 19 and 16 points respectively. He admitted in one of the local Los Angeles papers that he is starting to fully understand his role as the sixth man. If the Lakers can keep these two guys going on a consistent basis, watch out!
