Title: "Lamar Odom will be lucky to be playing in January"
Post by: Now_Im_Not_Banned on December 12, 2006, 09:57:20 PM
Just heard this from Phil Jackson on K-Cal. :-\...Wow, what a huge setback for the Lakers...And I just acquired him on my fantasy team too. Hopefully he recovers quick and it doesn't turn out to be something major...PeACe

Huge loss... Lamar was great in every sector but I'm really worried  about the boards.. others big guys(outside Kwame) have to step it up

^^^ 4 sure I hope he gonna get major minutes... he's a great defender and move well without the ball to get easy buckets near the hoop.. It's DAMN time Phil give him his chance on a regular basis.. Ronny had some good games then disappeared from the rotation , well we're a deep team but still the only choice from Phil I don't approve.. though there is no need to complain regarding our record  8)

He didn't disappear, he got injured, now he slowly needs to work his way back in...

Thanks for Billups and Bogut. ;D

I think it's time for Vlad Rad and Turiaf to step up now. Vlad can't flourish without minutes, and any playing time Turiaf gets can only help his improvemnt.

Turiaf should start...We're going to be allowing 30 points in the 1st quarter every game if Vlad or Cook Start.

we did pretty well without him... we're a deep team so I'm pretty sure others players will step it up

Vlad's been playing decent defense this year, and Cook has improved as well...

it still hurts them alot because they're a top seed. IMO they would have molested the mavs with odom on the floor.  but his injury isn't that serious, i had that injury in highschool and i was still playing everyday at lunch and in practice, i couldn't go out ther and bang hard but within 2 and a half weeks i was cool again. he'll be back mid janurary, with that training staff they have in LA

You're just a pathetic pathalogical liar, I'll never look at you the same again..."I had the same injury"...LMAO. They don't even know what the injury is yet, and if it's gunna take a month to heal, it means he can't play with it every day like you were magically able to. ::)

its a sprained mcl right
those things take time to heal
they must not rush this because this tends to
get re-injured very easily if not 100%

it's an mcl sprain, a typical sports injury goofus...depending on the severity (levels 1, 2, 3)  certain proceedures may be necesary, if it's a level 3 then they have to do surgery, but i'm not hearing anything about surgery so i'm assuming it's at worse a level 2. which is what i had, and of corse they're not going to play him because he's a multimillion dollar investment and if you reinjure that area in the slightest it can result in a tear which will sideline him even farther.

im not a lakers fan, but i love watching Kobe, how could anyone not like someone with his greatness...Its like not liking MJ or Magic..Or Rice or somebody of that stature..They are the hardest workers and thats why they are great, how anyone hates on that, like the Lakers or not is beyond me  ???

Kevin Martin averaged 10.8 PPG last year...10.8 X 2 = 21.6...21.3, his current average, LESS than doubles 10.8. Make sense yet? LOL.

Luke Walton averaged 5 PPG last year...This year 12.8 = MORE than double. Shot 41% FG last year, 51% FG this year. 32% 3FG last year, 51% 3FG this year. 2.3 assists last year, 4.3 assists this year. 0.6 steals last year, 1.1 steals this year, and so on...With Kevin Martin, I think it's more about him growing as a player than improvement...Luke Walton = Current MIP...PeACe

^^Kevin Martin LESS than doubled his averages and is shooting close to the same percentages.

Luke Walton MORE than doubled his averages and is shooting a MUCH higher percentage in every category...

Luke>Kevin for MIP...PeACe

Kevin Martin avg 10 pts per game last year and is AVG 21 as a starter this year, HOWS THAT HALF???
His Shooting percentage is close as last year. But the Kings showed how much they struggle without him last night at home..


Kevin Martin averaged 10.8 PPG last year...10.8 X 2 = 21.6...21.3, his current average, LESS than doubles 10.8. Make sense yet? LOL.

Luke Walton averaged 5 PPG last year...This year 12.8 = MORE than double. Shot 41% FG last year, 51% FG this year. 32% 3FG last year, 51% 3FG this year. 2.3 assists last year, 4.3 assists this year. 0.6 steals last year, 1.1 steals this year, and so on...With Kevin Martin, I think it's more about him growing as a player than improvement...Luke Walton = Current MIP...PeACe

oh u got me barely on that one ;)
Yeah thats real, hes really just getting a chance to PLAY now...Where was Luke is really just playing a whoile lot better...
But hey anytime you go from 11 a game to 21 thats very impressive and it will still put him in the running for most imprved because, thats how the NBA is...
