I know it's not popular - but Odom is a big part of why the Lakers are above .500. He's also a big reason why they're below .600 |

I must be blind.
We're getting killed because of defense at the 3 and no shooting. Neither two things Odom does worth a crap. |

Kobe hasn't been able to take over the forth - he's been having to pass to open shooters - and they've been bricking most of the fourt.
With Odom - kobe just sets up and scores before the doubles can come. _________________ Salary Cap Strategist and Columnist at Bleacher Report and on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/EricPincus |

this loss is for all those fans who want to blame lamar odom for the lakers' record instead of mitch kuphack and jerry buss. we're a far way from anything at this point. |

Guys - it doesn't get any worse than breaking a thirteen game losing streak for the worst team in the L. But the "don't worry" crowd will say different. Losses like this kill a team on the bubble of making the playoffs. _________________ "Why do you think bad things happen, anyway???" "So we have something good to look forward to."

there's no reason for blame - it takes time to rebuild - took 12 years to get from 88 to 2000 _________________ Salary Cap Strategist and Columnist at Bleacher Report and on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/EricPincus |

Sounds nice but I don't see it.
They look identical to last night when they had Odom. |

Agreed. Kobe should be off the ball in the trinagel. But surely we can get a better initiator than Odom?

Yeah - but if the Laker offense is confused - that leads to turnovers - and they're killing the Lakers on points off turnovers.
Even though the Lakers have scored well - their offense has been out of sorts all night - 23 turnoves with 21 assists? _________________ Salary Cap Strategist and Columnist at Bleacher Report and on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/EricPincus |

Usually fine, but we have the best player in the league. We are missing one piece to compete at that level. Probably 2pieces to dominate _________________ Lakers Tickets |

I blame the org and their dumb moves. they've been miserable for many year now.
We are wasting Kobe's prime. There I said it. They are all about the money. _________________ "Now, if life is coffee, then the jobs, money & position in society are the cups.

Odom is a good initiator - better than most options - and it's a very complicated position. Who else can LA get right now to initiate? _________________ Salary Cap Strategist and Columnist at Bleacher Report and on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/EricPincus |

I need to start taking my own freaking advice.
this is a .500 team. when we win i shoudnt get too happy and when we lose i should expect it. i just feel bad for kobe. _________________ "I wish I could draw a picture of the look on their faces.....

We lost because because of the clankfest showcase Devean, Cook, and Walton put up. And yeah, nice defense on Jumaine Walton and Devean, you contained him to only 31. We have overpaid retards on this team. Fire Mitch. Punch Phil in his face and break his glasses, maybe he'll see better when he gets new ones. That way he'll find out that Bynum is so much better than any of these ballsucking scrubs he plays out there. _________________ =======================
