Out Of The Abundance Of The Heart, The Forearm Shoveth

Classless.  That’s one of the many words with a negative connotation that have been used to accurately describe what Andrew Bynum did to J.J. Berea on Sunday afternoon.
Bynum later said that he just fouled somebody.
“It was embarrassing to have the smallest guy on the court keep running down the lane and making shots,” Bynum said.
Really?!  Then stop him!  At least foul him hard in the first quarter while you’re still in the game. To try to cause a person’s chest to collapse in midair in the fourth quarter when your team is down 30+ points and you’re about to get swept in the series is beyond disgraceful.
The problem here is that this kind of attitude has been in there all along.  It simply found an outlet Sunday.  Most players would not even think about doing something like that, and therefore, will never do anything like that.  But when the action comes out like that, it becomes apparent that the intent was there the whole time.
Bynum’s issue was not the scumbag moment that was witnessed against the Mavs.  It’s a matter of the heart that has likely been brewing for a long time.  Until that, whatever “that” is, is solved, expect more of the same in the future at a seemingly unexpected moment.  If it’s on the inside, it will eventually come out.
