Kobe vs. Lebron here we go. Not this all about finally Lamar Odom becoming what has been talked so much is his potential in being a great player. Odom who started comming off the bench this year and by many to be traded by the deadline this season now has become a key factor for the Lakers espcially since Andrew Bynaum is out 8-12 weeks. The Lakers comming into Cleveland today was taken on a Cavs team who has never lost at home this season. The Lakers really seemed to be in trouble before the game started due to Kobe Bryant had the flu, but it was the Lakers as a team who stepped up and played there best game as a team. Lead by Ododm who had a season high 28 points and 17 rebounds. The Lakers played excellent team defense against the King Lebron James who shot 5-20 from the floor and only had 16 points. Phil Jackson before today’s big game had this to say “They all wear No. 23 and help him throw that [expletive] up in the air when he’s at the scorer’s desk,” Jackson said. “He gets away with murder, on top of it, on his home court.”I’m just saying, it’s home court,” he said. “There are going to be more fans who will be involved in every bump and grind and whatever happens individually to him. Those things will affect the decisions of referees.” King James response “Me get calls?” he said in a disbelieving tone. “You guys know Phil. He always makes a comment before a big game or rivalry game. He always says something to throw people’s focus off. But you guys know that I don’t get as many calls as I should get. We’re not going to go there.” I’m pretty sure James and the Cavs will remember Jackson comments if they meet again in the NBA Finals. The Lakers so far this season snapped the Celtics 19 game winning streak also there 12 game streak and snapped the Cavs 19 home game winning streak. Hate it or love it the Lakers are the best in the NBA and the road to the Championship might be through L.A.
