Exactly. Its petty but I hate when someone doesn't go through the ups and downs. One of my friends just jumps ship the second his team of the moment starts doing bad. Meanwhile I'm hiding in the closet crying with my Korean made blow up doll of Kobe.

Sometimes I wish I was a casual fan though, much less pressure.

As embarrassing as this may be(I don't care), I didn't even watch Jordan hit his last winning shot against Utah.

I had the TV on, watched the whole game up to that and couldn't take it and buried my face in my pillow for the amount of time I thought it would take for the play to be over.

I used to yahoo gamecast games in the 2005 season in the pre-stream days when I was not in Los angeles. :(

He's less frustrating because you're not counting on him to be the second-best player any more.

While that's somewhat true, his approach to the game has changed. He still can't be a team's #2 offensive weapon, but he's a lot more confident and assertive out on the court, but not in a bad way. I'll never forget for 2 years he must have had 65 charges each season all on the same fucking fast break play. I thought he'd never learn, but he has. Stuff like that.


Odom is donating the Kia SUV he won with the Sixth Man Award to the Lakers Youth Foundation.

I wonder if Terry will say anything should the two meet next round. Lamar seems to like it when players call him stuff, like "lucky."

Me too man. Its envy. They only get the good stuff never any of the alcohol inducing cry fests. Unfortunately I'm screwed. When you grow up with it and your dad and the whole family are lifelongs there is no cutting the chord.

Carmelo needs to dominate.

Amare is likely going to play well again.

As for the rest, who knows???

Congrats LO.

THE HAPPIEST Laker is the one whose father was addicted to heroin, whose mother died of colon cancer when he was 12, who attended three high schools, had his first college scholarship revoked before the fall semester of his freshman year, became a subject of three college investigations, declared for the NBA draft, tried unsuccessfully to pull out of the draft, was picked by arguably the worst franchise in sports, violated the league's antidrug policy twice within eight months and after finally getting his life together, went home to New York City for an aunt's funeral and wound up burying his 6½-month-old son, then getting robbed at gunpoint.

"That's my book," says Lamar Odom. "That's my movie. It's a big bowl of gumbo."

...
"A lot of people have wasted a lot of time thinking about who they want Lamar Odom to be rather than appreciating him for who he is," says Jeff Van Gundy, the ESPN analyst who was coaching the Knicks when Odom was making headlines as a New York City high school star. "I always look back at where he started. In stories like his, you don't see a lot of happy endings. So when you do see one, I think it should be celebrated."
