Here we go again! The Andrew Bynum talk of return has resurfaced as all sorts of different dates and time tables get thrown out there for the media and Lakers fans to chew on.

First I heard the big kid would be back the end of March, which hopefully happens, then I heard he would be back for the playoffs. Which ever happens I think it is nothing, but a positive for the Los Angeles Lakers. Since the Lakers have pretty much wrapped up the first seed in Western conference, Bynum really doesn't need to be rushed back, but his defensive presence in the paint is sorely missed by the Lakers.

The big question now is if the Lakers can wrap up home court advantage throughout the playoffs. With Bynum in the lineup the Lakers chances of wrapping up home court would be greatly improved, but even if he can't get back before hand Kobe Bryant and company should still be able to clinch home court.
