ODOM SHOWING FLASHES FOR CLIPPERS
12/4/12 | Eric Patten
Photo: Varon Panganiban PLAYA VISTA Practice was long over Tuesday before Lamar Odom left the court.
A v-shaped sweat stain made his usually white practice jersey appear a dark gray as he and point guard Chris Paul exchanged 3-point shot after 3-point shot.
The workout was something that has been consistent for Odom over the last five weeks. Hes in here early working out. Hes in here late working out, Clippers head coach Vinny Del Negro said. The main thing Im pleased with is that hes here every day. He knows he has a ways to go, but you can tell when hes out there he makes a difference for us.
Odom has already shown flickers of the player who once lit up the league as a versatile forward and two-time NBA champion. In Monday nights road win over the Utah Jazz, he was trusted to make plays in the fourth quarter, earning the Clippers two extra possessions with offensive rebounds, knifing to the rim for a right-handed layup and consistently finding himself in the right place at the right time on the defensive end.
You can see his timing coming back a little bit, Del Negro said. You can see his lift coming back a little bit. He took a couple of big charges for us last night, some offensive rebounds, a couple of layups spacing the court for us; all of the things I know hes capable of doing.
In the last two games, Odom has combined for 13 points, 11 rebounds and five assists in a shade under 40 minutes. Of course, at one time the 2010-11 NBA Sixth Man of the Year winner used to put up those kind of numbers in a half, but Odom has maintained that he slowly and surely is getting back to it.
His teammates have noticed as well.
Ive talked to him about it and hes said its a slow process, Blake Griffin said. But it is happening, you can see it. You can kind of just see it in his step and his bounce and the way hes playing. We kind of figured in the beginning that it would be around Christmas time before youd really see real flashes. Just because, hed be the first to admit it, he had to get back in shape and hes done a great job with that.
DeAndre Jordan added: Lamar is coming along. Hes getting a feel for it. Hes starting to be more aggressive offensively, which we all want him to be and not just look to pass. Because he can score, so once he gets everything right and gets more confident out there hes going to be a big part of our second unit.
He is also playing a big part in the teams practice and preparation. Del Negro said Odom often speaks up in film sessions and on Tuesday when assistant coach Marc Iavaroni was going over a piece of the Clippers help defense on opposing big men, Odom interjected.
We went through some things defensively today [at practice], Del Negro said. He spoke up and talked to the young bigs (Griffin and Jordan) a little bit and those things are invaluable.
And as Odom continues to work his way back into form he may become invaluable on the court as well. We have a lot of faith in him, Del Negro said. And I think hes going to pay dividends down the road.

she's looking so bronzed tonight. i like her hair and makeup but the hair is a little flat. the dress would be awesome just above the knee and fitted not flared with fitted sleeves.
Agreed. And the dress looked a little tight on camera.
It really looks like she has had some work done lately IMO.

Clippers beat Dallas last night. Lamar still moving in the right direction. He had 11 rebounds, 2 assist, 2 steals, and 4 pts. He almost had a nice dunk but the ball came out his hands on the way up. He's improving though.
X factor: Lamar Odom. You could practically hear the groans all the way from Dallas, as Odom played hard and pulled down 11 rebounds against his former team.

America will fall in love with Lamar Odom, so long as Texas secedesThe following phrase does not have a typo: Lamar Odom had 11 rebounds Wednesday night against the Mavericks.
Dallas struggled all night in so many facets of the game, but regardless of the input from the opposition, Odom is legitimately starting to look better. He may still be missing shots, but hes leaving the floor when he does it. No longer is his jumper flat; no longer is he consistently short on every shot. He has his legs and it feels like Odom may not be too far away from consistently making tangible contributions to this team.
