I kinda agree with you here. Maybe it's his first NBA non garbage time game. Like Amir, he needs to improve on his footwork and better positioning. Right now, when he plays, we got to play zone D.

Anyways, it was still fun to watch him play. I almost got caught watching the game while at work cuz I was smiling happily and almost jump off my chair when both Amir and him took turns to block Bynum on one possession.

Turiaf now starts at the #4 and with his absence Cook started last night at the #4.

The Lakers put Odom back in the #3 slot, which is where he played when he was with the Heat, in order to minimize the hard physical contact against his left shoulder and hence another possible surgery on his left labrum. I believe he has torn his left labrum on at least two occasions that have subsequently required surgery.

Guess we can blame it all on Prince then for not camping out under the baskett.

Odom is a very good player, when he is healthy, just as good as if not better than Tay. His career average is 16 PPG, 9 RPG and 5 APG. All the numbers are higher than Tay's 12 PPG, 4 RPG and 2 APG, in those respective categories. Tay is better defender, but Odom is a better all around player when he is healthy.

Agree with Buddha here. The other comparisons are that both can take over a game when needed, but Odom is never passive so he will be that consistent number two scoring option and is never afraid to take it to the hoop. Still getting back into game shape right now, but he was close to a double-double last year in pts and boards. As Buddha says, better defense out of Tay and he avoids injuries. With that being said, Odom might be a better fantasy player though.

We got the taped game on local sport channet this afternoon, I love what I saw behind a lost game. The young bloods will bail Flip Sr out if he play them more and play them with a system, priod.

Why do we have to make separate trips to the West coast to play the Lakers and Clippers at Staples when the Bulls get to play them on back to back nights at Staples?

Another team either NY or Indiana did the same thing a coulple of years back it seams, but I recall it Pistons ever playing lakers and Clippers on back to back games since the Clippers came to town some 20 seasons or so ago. It would save on Roundball One's gas, but I guess the players would like to make two visits to la land to hang out at the beach, Holloywood, etc.
