Been all over the place today, but I wanted to get the video highlights up and comment on Lamar Odom. This guy has been annihilating the boards, folks. 14 rips again last night. Maybe we should go big when Andrew Bynum returns, because L.O. has responded incredibly well to starting once again? Just a thought…

Video Highlights:

Derek Fisher. D-Fish! How much does that guy mean to our Lakers? Draws a charge with 20 seconds left to get the ball back, then drains a three to send the game to overtime 5 seconds later. Dude is clutch.
What’s up with Lamar Odom, by the way? My man L.O. is rebounding like the reincarnation of Rodman or something. 17 rips in this one, to go along with 12 points and 5 assists.
Pau Gasol is passing his ass off, isn’t he. 6 assists in this one, and he was strong across the board.
Then you have Luke Walton’s redunkulous +25 plus/minus [...]

Guess this Mario isn’t so “super” after all. Welcome to the Lake Show, Shannon. It seems your teammates were just as impressed as I was, especially Kobe Bryant. Foul my ass. Enjoy!

I could talk about Kobe Bryant dropping 30 with 9 dimes. I’m not going to. I could talk about Pau Gasol doing his typical non-Bynum work. Not going to. I could even rave about Lamar Odom continuing his inspired play of late. Again, not going to.
What I would rather talk about is — no, not that the Warriors play defense that would even offend Mike D’Antoni — Josh Powell, Luke Walton and Trevor Ariza.
J-Peezy put up 16-7 in less than 25 minutes of burn. I think he’s the reason Chris Mihm became the Lakers seven-foot stimulas package. He just keeps [...]

Just got back from vacation, and with me getting back to blogging it’s nice to see the Lakers resume their winning ways as well. While the rest of the teams are talking trades and L.A.’s other team is punching people, the Lake Show just does its thing.
The big thing that I took away from this game is that even without a scoring eruption from any one player, the Lakers can still win. Lamar Odom led the six scorers in double figures with 15, but his 20 rips were what really impressed me. Pau Gasol’s triple-double probably was the most impressive [...]

I don’t waste my time watching the Thunder. Saw Kevin Durant once this season, and that was good enough for me. The Lakers took care of business and that’s really all there is to say here. That and, man, are Lamar Odom and Pau Gasol stepping up in Andrew Bynum’s absence.
Video Highlights:

P.S. – I just thought about how 34 from Kobe Bryant is a non-story. Love it!

In this installment of the Laker Girl Love series, we’re going to feature blonde bombshell Erica. Since I’m a brunette fan, I figured I’d also show the blonde fans some love, too.
I don’t know why I’m featuring this broad. She loves two of my least favorite things in the world. First off, the Denver Broncos. As a Chiefs fan, I find that repulsive. Second, she digs country music. As someone who grew up about 30 minutes North of Branson (Springfield, MO), I find that equally repulsive. God, I hate country music. But if you can live with those two things, [...]

According to our friends over at Cuzoogle, Adam “Van” Morrison will need to have a little Tupac in him in order to resurrect his career with the Lakers. To quote the good Doctor [Dre]: “How much Tupac in you you got?” So far, not very much. Maybe John Turturro can help? I hear he knows a lot about Heineken.

Kobe, you touch me, man. This is a thing of beauty. Mamba straight said, if M.J. can school people with the flu, well, then so can I. Even King Prince James. (hat tip: Hoop Doctors)
