Got it from someone who posted it a couple days ago on here.

Kurt do research on his own?

yeah, i read the history thing somewhere too, i forgot where. spurs went 8-1 in 2003, but they went home (without playing) before going back on the road, or some crap like that.

Great, great game and a perfect way to end the road trip. Time to heal up in these next few days for any nagging injuries, and prepare for the 2nd half of the season!

Player of the Game? I'm thinking Odom as well. First triple double of the season. He's been playing great lately.

Pau, Odom, and Kobe all were POTG frankly, lots of great efforts. I'd give it to LO though, efficient triple double.

Showtime87

LO deserves POTG honors tonight I think.

Give Odom POTG. Triple double... enough said.

I believe we can expect more of these types of games from Lamar. He looks like a new man, now that he isn't expected to be the aggressive scorer.

I agree. Will be interesting to see how everything settles when Bynum comes back.

afobisme

the only thing different tonight is that he got more assists. he'll get you 10/10 no problem, we know that much already.

CDRacingZX6R

Yeah.. Thats my point....

Lamar has always wanted to be the play maker. He likes setting the break up. He likes getting the ball to the open man. When you tell him, ignore the open man and drive to the basket. Thats goes against his internal programming. Now that theres Bynum, Gasol and of course Kobe to take care of scoring, he is freed up to run plays more. Something he has always been better at than scoring.

i think he'd be a good fit with the bench in that case then. we just need some finishers in there with him.

i don't think LO's assist numbers are gonna go up. i think maybe his rebounding by a little bit.. and his points will go down. assists will go down a bit.

Bartholomew Hunt

The main difference is his freedom to operate on the strong side, which won't be quite the case when Bynum returns. As always with Odom, I am skeptical.
