NO, YOU ARE WRONG. I SAID Odom was no show 'cause he wasn't the big factor in those regular season games. I don't really care about game 4 but for the first 3 games, Lamar wasn't a factor. Maybe you forgot to check out your beloved Laker forums. I saw nothing but "trade Odom" threads. Don't come here and give me BS that "Odom has been this good for so long!". You know Odom has performed really well for the past 2 games. Don't give me BS that "Oh, it's not a surprise at all!". That's total BS.D-Dogg said:Wrong. Again.
Game 1: 23-16-8
Game 2: 15-12-4
Game 3: 17-11-5
Game 4: 14-11-7
Now, the gameplan is a bit different with putting him in the post to attack Marion and bigs, but to say he was a no show is ridiculous. You didn't see him working Marion over during the regular season, but that wasn't the gameplan then...we tried to run with you then and it obviously didn't work.
And this is Lamar's first year in the Tri...he's going to be extremely good in the system.
Nobody who watches the Lakers closely would be surprised at Odom's play in this series thus far, especially when Phil basically said that this is how he'd play him in the series.
Odom wasn't a factor in the regular season games because the gameplan was Kobe, Kobe, and Kobe. That's your team's 3 options. I said he was no-show but I didn't say he sucks. He is very talented and I do think he has performed better than Marion so far. Dude, stop protecting your Laker so aimlessly and over-gloriying everything.
