Laker Thoughts

Editor's note: I'm not a Laker fan, per se, but I watch their games more than any other team. I was born and raised a Laker fan but got more into college bball during the Post-Magic Johnson era. That's when I got on JKidd's jock, and the rest is history. Since his dismantling at the hands of Chris Paul in the 2008 NBA Playoffs, he's pretty much not been the same player; he's in the twilight of his career and my fire that used to burn for him is flickering out. Right now I am pretty much in NBA limbo, and it's not a bad place to be. I watch all the teams and players and have no rooting interest really. Since the Lakers are always on, and they display a good brand of basketball (as opposed to their arena-mate) I tend to watch more of their games, and since I have no emotional attachment/investment in this team I think that I am a pretty objective critic; I'm not blinded by the purple and gold like my boys out here. So I would like to start a section in my blog called Laker Thoughts.

Lamar Odom has to be the worst finisher I have ever seen. I wonder if they keep a stat for blown AND1s. I bet he leads the league in that department. He can never finish. Pathetic.

Lamar is also the wost traffic-passer I have ever seen. He'll wait until the absolute worst time to dump off the ball to a teammate that isn't looking for it.
