Yeah, he had a good game...To bad he couldn't put up those kind of Numbers when he led us to the Lottery 4 years ago 

And if you actually think Lamar is the Reason for the Lakers Success this Season then you're a fucking Retard.

Lamar was injured in the 2nd half of the season 4 years ago, smart guy. We'd be in the same position right now without Odom, huh? Now THAT'S fucking retarded.


Can anyone imagine if this "Laker fan" was our GM? This is the same idiot who wanted to trade Odom & Bynum for Jermaine O'Neal. This guys username used to be "Trade Odom". No wonder he feels like such a shitbag.

Kobe's quote on that dunk attempt he had last night where Okur fouled him:

“I didn’t know if I was actually going to quite get up high enough to do it,” he said. “I kind of felt like Luke Walton.”

Hahahaha, that was harsh!

Ariza puts best foot forward

EL SEGUNDO - These have been light days for the Lakers. Many of the starters even took Saturday and Sunday off after closing out Utah in Game 6 on Friday. Monday merely was a chance to get the blood flowing again, the shooting touch dusted off and reunite with teammates after a couple restful days at the beach.

Reserve forward Trevor Ariza had a more serious approach. Namely, getting back in game shape after almost four months off with a broken foot.

At the end of practice, just in case anyone forgot the multi-faceted game he brings to the team, Ariza closed out the team's 5-on-5 scrimmage with a reverse dunk that drew cheers from his teammates.

Coach Phil Jackson smiled and seemed duly impressed.

"He looked good today. I wanted him to have another practice tomorrow in which he has an opportunity to play and get comfortable in what we're doing," Jackson said. "There's still some recognition. He's reorienting himself to what we're trying to do.

"But his athleticism is always a factor, he runs the lanes, he can cut well out of our triangle offense. His defense is aggressive, and he anticipates the pass.

"There are a lot of things that Trevor does naturally that are beneficial to the team and the way we play at both ends of the floor."

Last week, Jackson suggested he'd consider Ariza in the starting lineup as a replacement for the inconsistent Vladimir Radmanovic, who bounced back with 27 points in games
5 and 6.

BRYANT'S TURN

Basketball players are supposed to be superstitious, but at this point, it's going to be very hard for Kobe Bryant to get out of paying for dinner at team meals.

Bryant offered to pick up the check at a team dinner before the Lakers first-round series against Denver, then was goaded into it the next time the team dined out before the Utah series. Monday night, it was all but certain Bryant bought again.

"That's just assumptions," he joked. "But (if that's the case) maybe we'll have to go out to fast food instead."

Lamar Odom smirked when told of Bryant's comments.

"He's the MVP. I'm sure he got a nice little bonus for that," Odom said. "And didn't he say it was all of our award?
