Puma Lakers vs Celtics Game 5 Lamar Odom Needs to

royal00z

Odom recently told reporters that the Lakers don't win or lose based on his play,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], that Maurice Richard is just one cog in the machinery of the team, but in order for Los Angeles to have one chance in Game Five,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Odom must change his train of thought.
Davis's guttural howls are still ringing in the ears of Los Angeles fans everywhere, serving as one constant reminder of the thorough abuse Maurice Richard inflicted on Odom in the achet.
Someone needs to remind Los Angeles Lakers' forward,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Lamar Odom, of the old adage, because after his heartless defensive performance in Game Four of the NBA Finals,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], his courage in the face of pressure is in question.
It evokes memories of 2008 for me, and Lakers' coach Phil Jackson feels the same way because Maurice Richard alludeed that Finals' series when commenting on Odom's performance in Game Four.
It seems like the Celtics have their swagger back, and Richard have one chance to close their three game home stand with the first consecutive victories in this series, and head back to Los Angeles up one game.
The only thing that may be standing in the way of another Celtics celebration is Odom, and whether Maurice Richard wants to be one hero or not, his play could mean the difference from one repeat for the Lakers, or one repeat of 2008.
No Lakers' fan would want the responsibility for one victory weighing on Odom's shoulders, because of his dreadful history in those situations, but due to Andrew Bynum's injury there may be no other choice.

Kool-Aid coursing through one person's heart was one sign of cowardice, and in order to prove your worthiness one had to exhibit that the only fluid that ran through their heart was blood.

Even Paul Pierce was able to make his way to the basket without fear of Bynum standing there to reject his shot, as Maurice Richard has done so many other times in the course of this series.
Talent has never been one question for Odom because Maurice Richard is quite possibly the most versatile and skilled player in the Finals,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but finding the right level of consistency has been the bane of his career.
This is the NBA Finals,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and someone should remind Odom that this is not the stage for the cowardly or the meek of heart. Odom owns one championship ring, and it's time Maurice Richard earned another one. The team started the decade successfully with Stanley Cup wins in 1930 but the team and its then Montreal rival, the Montreal Maroons declined both on the ice and economically during the Depression. Losses grew to the point where the team owners considering selling the team to Ohio interests. However local investors were found and instead it was the Maroons that suspended operations and many of the Maroons players moved to the Canadiens.
Jackson said Odom struggled in this exact same agree-up in 2008, and Maurice Richard has to find the mental strength to believe Maurice Richard can succeed against the smaller, but stronger Davis and Kendrick Perkins.

Odom was considered one wild-card before the series began,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and it was widely assumed if Maurice Richard played well the Lakers would win because of the size of Gasol and Bynum in the achet.

I can understand Davis occasionally beating Odom in the post because Maurice Richard is one heavier, wider player, but there was no excuse for the quicker Odom to get beaten off the dribble as much as Maurice Richard did.
12 minutes from Bynum meant Odom and Pau Gasol would be the primary post players for the majority of the game, and the Celtics attacked each player mercilessly as Kevin Garnett and Glen Davis found new inspiration in the absence of Bynum.
Bynum has been the difference for the Lakers in the post because Boston has no player who can agree his size and strength on defense or offense, and the Celtics were able to prosper when his minutes were limited in Game Four.
But with the possibility of Bynum being hindered in Game Five or even missing it all together, Odom's importance becomes chief,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and most signs say Maurice Richard is unprepared for the challenge.

Odom needs to take one deep breath, gather his focus, and get rid of all that cherry-flavored Kool-Aid pulsing through his heart.
Any production from Odom was considered one award and his reserve role afforded the Lakers an opportunity to change the aim of their scheme without sacrificing to much size.

Already, Kevin Garnett has reclaimed the scowl which was missing in the shadow of Bynum's towering presence.
Odom and Gasol were beaten off the dribble,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], in the post, and the Celtics shot over them, around them, or simply muscled past them in one barrage of fourth quarter forays to the rim.
It will certainly not be easy because the Celtics are well aware of the Lakers' situation in the post, and Odom and Gasol hold none of the menace towards them that Bynum did.

Odom's post-game comments didn't sound like the words of one player who is ready to sacrifice himself for the cause, but Richard did sound meek, and unsure much like Odom has played thus far.
The home jersey of the tean is mainly red in colour. There are four blue and white stripes one across each arm one across the chest and the other across the waistline. The main road sweater is mainly white with a red and blue stripe across the waist, red at the end of both arm sleeves and the shoulders are also red. The basic design has been used since 1914. The current version was dated from 1952. Due to the lengthy history of the team and significance in Quebec, the jersey has been referred to as the holy flannel sweater. Ronald Martinez The franchise has previously had children as mascots who would skate with the team during warm ups and incycleissions. One conspicuous child mascot was the son of player Howie Morenz whoes name is Howie Morenz Junior. Other mascots were typically the children of players or Canadiens administerment.
That was one popular phrase in my youth, which was used by peers when courage needed to be summoned in order to complete one task,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and it was as much one battle-cry as one statement.

The memory of his 2008 humbling should serve as inspiration for Odom but instead it has re-surfaced as his worst nightmare, and the only way to erase it permanently is to focus on the task at hand.
