All About LO

The game five between the Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Lakers last night many people believe could go either way went only one way and that was L.A.'s way.

Throughout most of the first three quarters, it was rather back and forth plus the Nuggets took control grabbing a nine point lead until Shannon Brown dunked nasty over Chris "Birdman" Anderson. That seems to start the momentum to the Lakers and after that, it seems like the Lakers could do anything in the game.

Another big factor was Lamar Odom's huge night which when that happens the Lakers are the best team in the NBA no doubt about. LO had 19 pts 14 rbs and 4 blocks plus a thunderous dunk over Birdman once again. (Side note: I feel bad for my boy Birdman because there were two Lakers posters made on him last night, just nasty.) But see what I do not get is how LO can have these games once or twice every series yet not do it night in and night out. I think he is one of the most fascinating players in the NBA today because I truly believe its all mental with Odom. If he can get up for game 6, its lights out for Denver.

You didnt think I would go a whole Laker post without talking about Kobe Bryant did you? Kobe did something last night that his fellow puppet should take note of. He had 13 shots last night and made sure everyone on the team got involved. When Kobe doesnt shoot the ball as much and facilitates the ball to rest of his teammates like when Odom does work, they are their best.
