Frustration Leaves Odom To Roam Alone

[Allanon]

I put it on Pau,Fish, and Phil. When Drew was beasting and getting a lot of offensive rebounds, he took him out for a very long time. Pau played real bad. And Fisher was jacking up some ridiculous shots.

I was pissed at how Phil yanked Bynum at that point too. When Bynum came back, he just wasn't the same again. Bynum let Kwame get the better of him, I think it's cuz Kwame's his friend.

Fisher, I think had ok shot selection, his problem was he was building a brick hose.

Yeah, I understand why he yanked him, since there was about 2 minutes left in the 1st, but he didn't bring him in till about half way through the 2nd.

Man, that was a sucky ass game...very frustrating to watch. I stopped watching basketball/nba news entirely until today.

Damn, these Bynum excuses have no end, they really don't.

Well after every Lakerfan said hes the next DRob ... what do you expect? The guy is not even very talented on offense at all. Talent. Not there. Hes a big body on D and thats what the Laker's needed, so hes got that covered.

But it still doesn't change the fact they've been dead wrong about his offense.

So Bynum isnt Abdul-Jabbar???

[Allanon]

Oh don't worry guys, Bynum will pick it up and then you'll see what all I'm talking about.

He is already the 3rd best Center in the NBA, he can't seem to get over the hurdle to be one of the top 2 yet. He's been wussing out.

But after his recent comments, I expect that he'll get quite a bit more aggressive from here on out.

4-5... Don't look now, but the Spurs are the 8th seed right now, and this without TP or Gino...

Yeah instead of getting stomped 4-1 in the WCF they'll just get swept up right quick during round 1.

Honestly, every year there are hundreds of threads like these with people talking like they know what will happen this season, just to be completely wrong. We should pull this thread up after the finals and see who was right/wrong. Every single team will grow in one way or another throughout this season and we will have a whole new idea of who is a favorite and who is guaranteed a top 3 pick in the draft. It's senseless to act as if something is set in stone for this season.

Wow..somebody actually making sense on a sports blog.

There is hope!!

Speaking of Odom, he had a pretty decent game against the Bulls although he fouled out
10 points
8 rebounds
5 assists
3 steals
3 blocks
22 minutes

Even on an off night, Bynum did OK.
18 points
9 rebounds
3 blocks
30 minutes

Get off Odumbs nuts.

Laker fans either hate Odom or love him.

He played a pretty good game last night. Drew Gooden was scoring all over Bynum and Pau. Odom shut him down.

75% of Laker fans hate him. You are one of the few. Which is cool, but I am not one of them!

[Bandwagon Fan]

Most fans love odom. STFU.

And besides suffering injuries, nothing ranks higher on the to-don’t list for the Lakers this season than what befell this deep, skilled team Friday night: individualism.

It’s Farmar’s little-man complex emerging once Iverson bested him a couple of times. It’s Radmanovic feeling as if he deserved to go right down and jack up a 3-point shot after looking bad on Prince’s dunk that happened because Bynum didn’t properly help when Radmanovic funneled Prince toward him.

If anyone can handle the drama of these individual players and their egos on this Lakers team...it's Phil Jackson.
