Odom Still Stinks…

That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it. Anyway…

Remember how I said Lamar Odom is one of the biggest teases in pro sports? Tonight we’re seeing the reason why people still talk about him in positive terms. He is absolutely feelin’ it, to the Celtics detriment. 6-for-6 in the opening quarter. All coming from the same guy who didn’t record his first field goal in Game 3 until late in the third.

This is why the fans/media who were quick to write off the Lakers, claiming that Kobe is a one-man team, were crazy. Even if you’re trying not to focus that much attention on Kobe, you do, simply because he’s too good to guard 1-v-1. That leads to open looks for the supporting cast, and they picked it up in Tuesday’s game and just aren’t missing tonight.

One quarter in the books…LA by 21.
