Setback for Bynum

[misha]

The Celtics lost center Kendrick Perkins to a knee injury in the first quarter of Game 6, but Lakers center Andrew Bynum has been limited by a bad knee all series. Things did not improve for Bynum Tuesday, the Lakers center playing just 16 minutes.

"He wasn't able to move very fluidly in the second half," said Lakers coach Phil Jackson. "He had some tightness in the back of his leg. He just said, 'You've got to take me out. I can't run.' And it was obvious at that point that he couldn't. He had some swelling in the back of his leg, and we'll have to work on that and see if they can't ice it down and control that."

The possible limitations of Bynum will make the playing field more even should Perkins not be able to go for the Celtics in Game 7.

That won't happen again. I think Game 7 will be very close.

Looks like Bynum and Perk will both be a wash ... I think we have the stronger result of that trade-off, but I still hope our big guy can play.

If they could both not play at all I would be happy, but I am worried that Bynum will be able to give them an effective quarter or half and perk will give us nothing.
