He was tentative at times because of his surgically repaired left shoulder but was relieved after he took contact.</p> </p> "These guys are big ? they move quick," Odom said. "If I lean the wrong way -- that's what I was worried about. I passed the test."</p> </p> Odom also said he simplified his game somewhat and just "let the game come to me. I wasn't going to go between my legs and try to get fancy and take long balls. Just play basketball." -- <font color="#000000">Orange County Register</font></p></div></div>
It's going to be less physically demanding on Odom at small forward this season. He played great in his first game back. He said he's on a mission to become an All-Star this year and has been shaving stars on his head to remind him of his goal.</p>
I was at the game Friday. 6 rows away baby! Best seats I've ever had.</p> Anyway, I loved what I saw from Odom. He was killing Craig Smith inside and was using some great post movies. Hope he can stay healthy as well as consistant. I am confident he will, playing SF.</p>
When I was watchimg the game I liked how he used his left hand to extend while driving towards the basket nobody touched him. If the Lakers play like that every time then I think that they have a shot at being in the top 5 of the West.</p>
