the past two years, he hasn't been able to do anything offensively, and now this year he's getting BURNED on the other end by Odom. He isn't a playoff player.
Odom is wearing down Marion and it is hurting Marion on the offensive end. The lakers gameplan is to slow the game down as well to take away open shots from Marion.
Odom is showen that he can play and he is on the same level as one of the biggest names in NBA like Shawn Marion. But Im happy that Odom is playing like this.
haha, since when is Shawn Marion one of the biggest names in the nba?but really, i'm loving the way lamar odom is playing. I don't really like the lakers, but i've always been a big fan of his.
Two years ago Marion was a bum in the playoffs, last year he had a huge 40pt game I remember, but usually he doesn't play well in the playoffs.
Last year before he played against Bowen, who no one plays well against, he was doing fine and that was while playing out of position. This year it took him a while but he had a very good game today. I can understand what you're saying though since you posted it yesturday.

Mario had a decent game today, but he really wasn't getting efficient touches
When more than half of you're shots are assisted on, i don't think you can be called a legit mvp canditate.
