Los Angeles' center Andrew Bynum doesn't believe that he's playing with the same energy and gusto that he was prior to his knee injury last season.

"I don't think I'm taking advantage of the opportunities I'm getting," Bynum said Sunday. "I just need to go out there and put more energy to it.

"When I watched last year's tapes and this year's tapes, there's a difference you can see pretty clearly."

However, Bynum isn't blaming the left kneecap that forced him to miss half of last season.

"I'm not taking easy or not trusting the leg," Bynum said. "It feels fine. It feels like it's good."
