Brown Puts Up More Words Than Points My intention before the Lakers' game with Portland had been to talk to Lamar Odom and urge him to score more, but as soon as he saw the media enter the locker room, he decided to leave -- moving to his left, of course, as he walked out. So that left me with Kwame Brown, and when I asked him if he was bothered by all the criticism directed his way, he said, "I don't read the newspapers, so I don't see the criticism. I think I'm doing good. How do you think I'm doing?" I didn't hesitate, of course. "Not very good," I said. "Not very good at all." What do you want?" Brown said. -- Los Angeles Times Key For Odom: Keeping His Cool More than scoring points, running the offense and getting rebounds or assists, Coach Phil Jackson wants to see Lamar Odom keeping his cool in games and not letting a referee's call affect his play. ... "He's got to get focused about staying in the game, staying on the floor, contributing to the team," Jackson said. Odom has five technical fouls, all coming after he became frustrated with the officials. -- Riverside Press-Enterprise Bynum Will Continue To Sit With Chris Mihm's returning Tuesday after spraining his right shoulder on Feb. 4, there won't be much opportunity for rookie center Andrew Bynum to play, even though many might like to see that happen. "Andrew really has not shown a lot of ability to play right now, so he's got to sit back down and think about his game a little bit," Phil Jackson said. -- Orange County Register
If Bynum is not going to play much I think that he should go to Dleague and develop his game a bit more.
