Zhang Yang watched as Kobe tried to play team offense with Odom at the start of the game, and after a few rounds, he began to go one on five, sighing at how tough it is to be a blacksmith... teammates, keep it up!
The Lakers' lineup is really poor!
Small forward Odom's performance is unpredictable, never sure when he will transform into a left-handed magician or become a liability. Tonight he's just average, a starting-level support forward without any highlights.
Kwame Brown, strong at the jump ball.
But on the first play, Odom assisted, Kobe cut in to receive the ball and drove in, passing to Kwame Brown who fumbled the dunk, and it was stolen by Gerald Wallace.
Smush Parker, before joining the Lakers, averaged 0.8 assists along with 3 points. Zhang Yang remembered that after Death Parker left the Lakers, he was cut after less than two months and never appeared in the NBA again.
How bad exactly? Rookie Felton played him like a joke.
