Not sure with Odom??He is very Hit and Miss just like Sasha...
What was our Line-up the Last 20 Games of last season??
Gasol, Fisher, Odom, Bryant, Radman.....
I would Insert Ariza in for Radman/Walton because he is a spark for us..Gets it done on D!
But who come off the bench in the 2nd Unit to give that SPARK??
I read that on Real GM. If he has surgery for that injury it could be a month before he returns. I know all too well about that injury.
The Magic did a real good job of spreading the Lakers on the defensive end and creating space to work with. The Lakers don't seem to cover the floor well and double or switch to help out. Rather than work as a cohesive defense they seem more concerned about their own matchups. The rotations just don't seem to be there.
Jackson challegned Odom to give him something and it just doesn't happen. After the finals last year and from What I've seen in watching games its no wonder fans are tuning against him.
The lakers copped some breaks with calls and Kobe travelling twice in the final minutes.
You aint going to win many arguments with just the stats as evidence when you are talking Odom to me or Laker fans Jimbo.

To win a war you must know ones enemies.
That said I'm actually watching more Cavs games than Lakers ones these days but I try to watch all the games I can of the top tier teams.
Some of you guys didn't get to see the games, thought I'd help you out LOL
I'm beginning to think that you're really a closet Lakers fan Chad...you spend an awful lot of time in this thread!!!
Tough loss at home. Time for excuses...
Not having Farmar in the rotation hurt us tonight, running the point through Sasha at times isn't the greatest option, especially when he gives it up only to get it back and? Jack it up, a little too trigger happy at times. Fisher ain't as young as he was back when we were winning titles and forcing him to play 40 plus minutes is tough, shows on his shooting percentage and frustration. The defense was overall pretty soft, but then again West and Paul had amazing games, Paul with 32 and 15 assists, not one turnover!!! Although once again; The defense was soft....
When Kobe get's over the 27/28 mark I start to worry, and that's not cause he can't put up 81, but there's no team chemistry cooking. We all love it when he's on target, but we want dubs at the same time. But what can you do, Gasol didn't really show up tonight and was pretty well contained, Lamar was out just after halftime (hope that knees not serious) and we just don't have the depth we're use to.
Credit to the Hornets though, second seed in the west stopped us from going 16 straight and making some history since it hasn't happened in 20 years. To be honest, if we were gonna drop another at home I'm glad it was them. I've got a good feeling we'll be seeing alot more of them in a few months time.
