HAHA I know...but this is what bitterness over Odom's stay in Dallas has done to me.
I can understand. Granted he really did have some bad shit happen in his personal life which from person to person, I sympathize, but with that said he never appeared to approach his task in Dallas as a true professional. Acting butt-hurt about the trade from LA, then not wanting to be in Dallas really shining through in his performances. Getting traded is all a part of the business of basketball. Not sure why he didn't understand that...

remember, he wanted to be traded...after the cp3 deal fell through, lamar asked mitch to trade him...dallas should have taken this as a sign that maybe not all of lamar's oars are hitting water
as for him coming back...doubtful but depending how the playoff play out, kobe might demand him and fish to come back...cuz lord knows all the lakers need are more old guys :roll:

Yeah, he demanded a trade after he got his feelings hurt by finding out he was trade bait. When your team is involved in a trade rumor of that caliber, I think it's safe to assume that the only person on the Lakers that is safe at that point is Kobe.

It's a shame the Wolves are int he position they are now. If he was on a more contending team, sure enough he'd have to get some nods for MVP. His numbers are off the charts.
If him and Rubio stay together, I really see them becoming a huge duo. It was a real shame what happened to Rubio with him tearing his ACL, he's such an exciting player to watch. Reminds of a good old #12 that used to set up The Mailman's deliveries.

Draft picks would probably be better for us in the long run, but KOC and management have made it publicly known that they are shooting for nothing less than the playoffs this year.
I agree it would be a huge confidence booster, and maybe some incentive for players to stick around so we can maintain some consistency as far as personnel. But, Utah usually does quite well in the draft, and KOC could make some good decisions with the lottery picks we would have if we didn't make the playoffs.
Personally as a fan though, I'd like to see them make the playoffs. I wouldn't expect them to get out of the first round (depending on the match up, they could though), but just seeing Utah in the playoffs again and reminding the NBA world that we're not to be taken so lightly would be great.
Having said that though, if the team continues on the track they're on now, I say give it 2 years and Utah can become the consistent playoff team that they have always been known to be. But this is from a Jazz fan's perspective.
The Jazz just need to win these last 4 road games and we'll be in good shape. They've got some good, tough games (road and home) ahead of them though, so it'll be a good test.

Those technicalities didn't stop Odom's childhood friend and former Lakers teammate Metta World Peace from devising a plan to bring Odom back to the purple and gold, however.
"Maybe he can come back and be a ball boy and then next year, come play," World Peace said with a cat-that-ate-the-canary grin on his face following the Lakers' 93-91 win over the New Orleans Hornets on Monday. "That's what he should do. He'd be the first ball boy in the NBA that can play. Come back; get the towels and next year, play. Why not? He should be a scout. Lamar should be a scout."
...
"Lamar should just like for one month, just be a Boy Scout and wear the outfit," World Peace, taking the joke a step further. "Just have fun. You're getting paid."
He was then asked, What kind of merit badges would Odom earn?
"It would probably something that had to do with candy ... Skittles ... It would probably taste good," World Peace said. "Sweet. Edible. I guess."
As a reporter started to ask a question about the Lakers' pivotal game against the San Antonio Spurs coming up on Wednesday, World Peace interrupted the query to continue with the rant.
"What's the biggest mountain in the world?" World Peace blurted out. "(Odom) should hike it. He should go hike it. Do something that's never been done."
A reporter pointed out that Nowitzki had spent the summer after the Mavericks' 2007 first-round playoff upset against the Golden State Warriors hiking the Bavarian Alps.
"He hiked a big mountain?" World Peace asked.
No, just mountains, the reporter replied.
"The big one," World Peace said. "I'm talking about the big one. Dirk, he ain't hiking that big mountain. He ain't going on the big one. I'm going on the big one."
Look who's charging? Celtics need to crush the Heat tonight, then they only have 2 games left on the schedule against difficult teams. Its not out of the question they grab the 3 seed in a few weeks. However, they match up better in a 2nd round showdown with the Heat than the Bulls. The way this team is playing right now, its not a stretch to see them in the conference finals.

you'd rather play the bulls ... that team is carrying a lot of injuries including rose ...

rose will be fine. he had no issues with his groin after sunday's game...although he did tweak an ankle but played thru it.
No doubt about that. But it won't matter after the Knicks shock the Bulls in the first round. Celtics v Thunder in the finals.

boston doesn't match up well with the bulls....
derrick rose is hurt all kinds ... he is his own worst enemy ... he keeps trying to play through things ... rip is hurt, noah is hurt, deng, etc ...
i actually think they matchup worse against the heat ... they've beaten and lost to both teams this season ... i just think chicago is all kinds of banged up now ...

Yeah, if the Bulls do end up winning it all this year, these guys gotta be 100%. I think the Bulls are VERY vulnerable given their injuries.

rose isn't all kinds of hurt. yes he's had a number of injuries, but those have all healed. we are talking an ankle that was turned in the 2nd qtr sunday that he finished the game on....and made some crazy moves on. he just needs to find his shot again.
noah is fine
rip seems to be healthy finally...but he needs to find his rythem and shot..no doubt about that.
Deng is the biggest issue...he has shown improvement the last couple of weeks with finding his shot and scoring moves.
assuming no new injuries, i'm not worried about injuries going forward.
I think it's fair to say at this point that the Celtics are still a team that you shouldn't completely brush off. They've got the experience, and the calm nerves when things are in crunch time to surprise the doubters.
Are they title takers this year? Most likely not, but I'd expect them to put on a good show in the playoffs.
Fuck Miami.
