Odom's Review Mixed Note to unhappy Laker followers: They're unhappy too. One by one, the veterans have met with Laker Coach Phil Jackson for sessions lasting from 30 to 45 minutes, exchanging ideas, visions and frustrations. ... "I felt that we were underachieving a little bit," Lamar Odom said of his discussions with Jackson. "He feels that like for the second-youngest team in the NBA, we're doing pretty well. I just think we could be doing better all around as a team." -- Los Angeles Times Rudy T Happy Scouting For Lakers Rudy Tomjanovich was on his way to Oklahoma City after a night of scouting in Memphis, Tenn. Chatting in the Memphis airport, in a conversation not unlike what undoubtedly had become his routine as he takes his place courtside every night, he was asked how things were after all the turns his life has taken the past three years. "I'm as happy," he said, "as I've ever been." -- Houston Chronicle Staples Crowd Rattled Brown Back at practice Tuesday, Phil Jackson said Kwame Brown's night started going south as soon as he sensed the Staples Center crowd turning on him. "It was the fact the crowd booed him," Jackson said. "I think that affected him. Once the crowd got irritated, he stopped wanting to have the ball. You've got to want to have the ball in this game. That's something that we have to go back to again and revisit." -- Los Angeles Daily News
