    Am I dreaming is Odom beginning to become a bit more consistent. Two games in a row hes played great. Let see how he'll fair against the Clippers tonight

    Well two good games in a row isn't exactly what I would call consistent. But its a start. Odom has all the skills to become a KG like player. And if he comes anywhere close to his potential as such LA + one or two more impact players could be a force to be reckoned with in the West.

    I like some of the things Lamar has been doing in the last two games, first and foremost being his looking to take his shots and driving to the basket. Now teams are going to have to readjust to the Lakers and think about maybe doubling Odom at times... which would free Kobe up... and if they focus on Kobe, Lamar should make them pay. This is a trademark attribute of the best teams in the league: They either have very good all-around starters that hit you from every angle... or they have a 2-3 man attack where teams have to pick their poison.

    I LOVE the way odom has stepped up his game. He's finally being more assertive and aggressive by taking more shots. Watch out for Lakers to make a run.

    yeah, hes been playing good, for 2 games. lol. but that was probably because he was motivated to not get traded. i wouldnt be surprised if he started to slack off though, i hope he proves me wrong.

    He disappeared when Kobe needed him most today against the Clips. Im still not convinced. We should have took Artest.

    Hahaha, I knew something like this would come up. You need to learn from the past. Lamar cannot be consistent. Take the number of consecutive games he has been good and multiply by three to find out how long his next streak of bad games will be.

    You can't say Lamar disappeared. The whole team did outside of Kobe. Lamar was aggressive to start the 2nd half. I'm still convinced Lamar is going to step his play up.
