| Lamar Odom finds his game喇嘛終于找到比賽節奏 Just about everybody was calling out Lamar Odom. 所有人都要開始呼喚，“喇嘛，你快回來”。
Phil Jackson wondered a few games ago when the Lakers' forward would stop being "M.I.A." Ron Harper said somebody needed to put an ad on a
milk carton and ask, "Where's Lamar Odom?"
幾場比賽前，菲爾教練還在懷疑這位湖人當家前鋒是否再也不會表現卓越。羅恩哈普說，需要有個人在牛奶罐子上登廣告問問“拉馬爾 奧多姆在哪兒？”
Then the media weighed in on Odom's regular-season effort with barely a shrug: Odom finished sixth in the voting for sixth man of the year after his numbers were slightly down in many categories.
接著，媒體對奧多姆的常規賽表現報以相當冷淡的態度：在剛剛結束的賽季最佳第六人投票里，由于他的數據輕微下滑，他僅僅名列第六。
But a few hours after the announcement, Odom came up with his sharpest half of the Lakers' first-round playoff series in the Lakers' 111-87 Game 5 victory over Oklahoma City.
但就在這話說出幾個小時之后，奧多姆就在湖人111-87大勝雷霆的季后賽第一輪第五戰里貢獻貢獻出他最犀利的半場表現。
He was averaging 7.8 points and 6.5 rebounds before Game 5 but helped keep the Lakers well ahead of the Thunder with an aggressive first half in which he had seven points, five rebounds and two blocked shots. He finished with seven points, eight rebounds, four assists and three blocks.
第五戰前，奧多姆場均7.8分6.5板，但在第五場他用在上半場極具侵略性的表現幫助湖人遙遙領先雷霆。這半場，他拿下7分，5板和2次蓋帽。整場比賽拿到7分，8板，4助攻，3蓋帽的數據。
Coming into Tuesday's game, as Odom and Ron Artest bore the brunt of the Lakers' problems this series, Jackson laid out what Odom needed to do.
周二的比賽前，奧多姆和阿泰成了湖人這個系列賽問題的集中點。菲爾做了明確的指示，奧多姆到底需要做什么。
"He's got to rebound the ball and do the things he does for us, and that's initiate our offense," Jackson said. "[Serge] Ibaka is a talented athlete. He's done a really good job on Lamar. Lamar hasn't found open lanes to drive. He's got four or five offensive fouls trying to overdo it."
“他必須搶好籃板，必須做好他平常都為球隊貢獻的事情，那就是成為我們進攻的發起點”，菲爾說。“伊巴卡是一個很有天賦的球員。他在防守喇嘛的時候做的很好。喇嘛找不到空間運球。他過度努力去運的時候，就吃到了四五個犯規。”
Atlanta guard Jamal Crawford easily won the sixth man award, determined by 122 writers and broadcasters in the U.S. and Canada.
122名來自加拿大和美國的專欄作家和媒體最終決定，亞特蘭大后衛克勞福德是今年的最佳第六人。
Crawford had 580 voting points, followed by Dallas guard Jason Terry (220 voting points) and Cleveland forward Anderson Varejao (126). Odom received one first-place vote, six second-place votes and two third-place votes for a total of 25 points.
克勞福德贏得了580票，第二名簡森特里220票，第三克里夫蘭前鋒安德森126票。而奧多姆只得到一票第一順位，6票第二順位，2票第三順位，僅僅得到25分。
He averaged 10.8 points and 9.8 rebounds in the regular season and shot only 46.3%, his lowest accuracy since 43% with Miami in 2003-04.
喇嘛的常規賽數據是場均10.8分，9.8板，但命中率僅有46.3%，這是他自2003-04賽季在邁阿密僅僅43%命中后的最低值。
Still No. 1
依舊是第一
Kobe Bryant hasn't been entirely healthy this season, but his jersey sales have been robust.
科比這賽季沒有完全健康，但他的球衣銷量繼續井噴。
The Lakers guard led all NBA players in jersey popularity for a second consecutive season, outselling Cleveland forward LeBron James, Boston forward Kevin Garnett, Chicago guard Derrick Rose and Orlando center Dwight Howard.
這位湖人當家后衛在球衣銷量方面連續第二賽季笑傲整個聯盟，超過勒布朗詹姆斯，超過凱文加內特，德里克羅斯和德懷特霍華德。

湖人前鋒保羅加索爾在NBA網店和NBA紐約店的統計中最后位列第14位。具體數字沒有公布，但根據這兩家店的統計，NBA整體球衣銷量上升了20%。
