Jackson Will Consider Sitting 'Ineffective' Bynum

[The Regime]

Lakers center Andrew Bynum played his worst game of the postseason since suffering a slight tear of the meniscus in his right knee in the first round.

 

Bynum had two points and two rebounds in less than eight minutes in the team's 118-109 loss to the Suns on Sunday night in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals.

 

"I'll talk to him to see what his suggestion is about it and how he feels about it," coach Phil Jackson said.

 

"I think he was ineffective. There were some things that got by him. He had one nice move in the post. Defensively I thought he was a little bit late."

 

Phoenix forward Amar'e Stoudemire excelled, posting 42 points and 11 rebounds.

 

"I was ineffective, that's obvious," Bynum said.

He should have the surgery, I am sure they would be fine without him. Have him ready to go by the finals. With the surgery would only have him out for a little over a week, right?

^surgery at this point in the postseason is out of the question
