And since two weeks ago he wasn't even expected to play in the first few reseason games, it's probably a smart choice pulling him out when the entire team wasn't even competitive enough to make a real practice out of it. When your down by 30 points, and doing EVERYTHING on offense and defense pathetically and incorrectly, Phil probably chucked that one up to a painful experience. I don't know though, Odom might have faked the sore shoulder as well as the surgery. Cause those damn Lakers can't admit defeat! 
GS, has a good team this season. You should try and become a little more secure with your teams place in the NBA instead of constantly looking for a reason why your team lost a preseason game. It's getting beyond Sad. You don't here me whining about GS winning, they should have won the first one to, but GS was to busy trying to make the plays look pretty than win.

Nice post, but we both know starters get pulled in garbage time regardless of the situation. I was being sarcastic, but thanks for the Odom life history. But i still stand firm on the one thing that i've been arguing all along... Odom was in that 4th to insure victory. NOT because he was practicing the triangle and NOT because putting Slava in at the 3 instead meant that he had to run the team from the 3. Those were your contentions right? FYI, i still don't buy it. That's basically the only thing i've been saying this whole time, but you seem to wanna throw insults about cows and elementary school and critical thinking and constantly assuming that i dont know this or that. Ok, i recognize your style now. I've seen it before.
