Deja Vu

Can it possibly happen two years in a row?  At around this time last year, the Lakers were rolling along nicely.  Surprising the NBA by getting off to a pretty quick start.  And then the injury bug.  Fast forward to 2008, Lakers are in everyone's top 5 power rankings.  Things are looking on the up and up.  And then last night, the magnificent season for Andrew Bynum comes to a halt....at least for eight weeks.....as he suffers a knee injury landing on Lamar Odom's foot.


 


Andrew Bynum's impact on this Lakers team has been huge.  He transformed seemingly over the summer into a bonafide threat -- defensively and offensively.  When the season began, many thought it was just a matter of time before Chris Mihm or Kwame Brown reassumed their role as the starting center.  NOT SO Fast said the young Mr. Bynum.  And now this??
