 Posted: Sun Feb 12, 2006 8:34 am Post subject: Why is everyone bashing Odom if Cook is the guilty one? |
|
|
That shot he took before Sucky's fts is what made us lose.
He was cold at the game, he was not focused, had 4Pfs, should have never taken that shot.
Odom on the other hand, went pretty well for a guy who is still injured and was clearly in pain, he almost had a triple double.
Funny that even when its not his fault people still bash Odom for a loss.

Lamr is an idiot cos he only took 10 seconds off the clock before he went for a shot. If you're going to do that, you better make it. I can't believe he did that after what happened in Sacto. They're both dummies....

Blaming LO is just what LG'ers do.
Nothing wrong with LO's shot. If you noticed, he had the whole right side of the court open and a path to the basket. Gasol just made an all-star play to block the shot. The clock wasn't really a factor since the Lakers were only up 2 at that point with 42 seconds left. The Grizz were going to get the ball back anyway so it was a matter of getting the best shot available. Totally different situation than LO's boneheaded play in the Sac game.
I agree that Cookie took his shot too early in the clock. His was the one that gave the Grizz a chance to steal the game. But you also have to fault Kobe for starting the play too early as well. |

Doesn't matter. The Grizz were going to get a full 24-sec clock to work with even if LO held the ball down to 0. |

the 2nd team captain shot early...I guess Cook was just following the leader. Critical mistakes by both guys.

And the team leader started the play too early. If you're going to play the blame game, spread it around. |

Im no Odom fanboy, if I am then youre a hater, Im just saying past is past, move on, if you keep hating players for one game, like Odom in sac, then you'll never be able to appreciatte when they do something right.

The answer to this topic's question is simple:
Bashing Odom is just the fashionable thing to do on LG.net 
Fact is it looked like a clear lane to the basket. If Odom makes it we likely seal the win. Players have to go for a shot if it looks like it's there, otherwise the opportunity might be lost.
It's just simply unfair to blame Odom, if Kobe had done the same thing and thought the opening was there but with the same results I don't think you would have a bunch of Kobe bashing threads as we typically do with Odom on this topic.
THINK ABOUT IT... :roll:

we don't expect them to stop playing either...but Cook didn't have to shoot. There was no ultimatum for him to shoot...

I'm mad he wastes Kobe's prime too, but since he's on the roster, apparently going nowhere, and we as fans have nothing to do about it, I prefer to support him instead of bashing that will take us nowhere.

problem is, Kobe would not make that mistake...especially after the much talked about Sacramento "incident" where Odom admitted the mistake. No way Kobe goes braindead and does the same thing after getting flak the 1st time around...and no way Kobe goes with his left hand on that drive.

I'm not so sure Odom playing like that gets us somewhere...hmmm...Odom needs to start thinking.

No, he didn't have to shoot, but Kobe put him in that position to decide when he started the play early. |

Because no matter what - It's always Odom's fault on here.
Cook misses an open shot - Odom caused it
Bryant air balls a three - Odom caused it
Bryant is 10-28 - Odom caused it
Kwame fouls out - Odom caused it
THe SOB is showing heart and playing through a very painful injury. Yet, It's LO's fault |

stop making things up wolf...no one's blaming Odom for those...Odom is criticized for his boneheaded play, 2nd time he's done this in 20+ days. Never learns.

Wolf,
