Amare -"Odom had a lucky game"


Recommended Posts

Can Lamar Odom's 19 points and 19 rebounds in the Los Angeles Lakers' 128-107 win in Game 1 of the Western Conference finals be attributed to something as trivial as his uniform number, lucky No. 7?

 

"I'm not giving him no hype right now; he had a lucky game in Game 1," Stoudemire said after Suns practice Tuesday at Staples Center. "We just got to make sure we box him out. I think I focused so much on [Pau] Gasol and [Andrew] Bynum to where he snuck in there and got 19 boards, so now we just got to make sure there's three guys out there that can rebound well [when] adding Odom. So, we got to do a better job on them."

 

Odom barely batted an eyelash when told about Stoudemire's claim after the Lakers finished practice.

 

"So be it," Odom said. "Hopefully I can have another lucky one."

Oh Snap. This ish just got real.

 

Too lazy to look up the stats but Odom has always been beastin against the Suns in the playoffs.

Steve Nash has grown on me as a player, and I've always liked Grant Hill...but Amare makes me sick to my stomach, so whatever he says, and however he acts, doesn't come as a surprise to me.

Here recently, Odom hasn't performed well against Phoenix...but that's mainly due to the role he has.

 

When he was a starter, though (or playing 30+ minutes a game)...big difference. Odom has done pretty good, overall.
