I Love This Lamar Odom

Nuggets Lakers BasketballWhat a dunk!?!?! How’s your face Birdman?  Sure Lamar Odom pushed off with his off arm but who cares? In the land of dunking, once it’s in your face there’s nothing you can say to taint it.  Now let me give props to the Birdman, he blocked 4 shots including a dunk attempt by Odom in the first half.  The Birdman is one of the few Nuggets that I respect. But when you go up to block so many shots, sometimes you’re gonna get shit on.  And shit on he got.  WOW!  As for the game, I gotta be honest with you, the Lakers are balls.  Their defense is pathetic.  Their big men are weak.  Bynum is a bust.  He can’t board to save his life and most of his shots are junky putbacks and dunks. He had one good move in the first quarter, an up and under, and then that was it.  I would definitely take the Birdman over Bynum, simply based on the Birdman’s talent and energy. Back to the game, the Lakers got lucky this game.  Kobe played like shit.  He kept forcing the ball late in the game until he finally wised up and gave it up to Gasol.  Shannon Brown’s dunk on the Birdman (we won’t talk about that one) was the turning point in the game.  Phil Jackson should give Brown minutes over Sasha and Farmar.  Finally, lovin’ J.R. Smith’s 3-13 performance.  Where u at gangsta? Unfortunately, the Nuggets are gonna wax the Lakers in game 6 and this is going to a game 7 at Staples next Tuesday. Until then, though, enjoy this win LA.  It might be a while before Odom performs like this again.
