To hear Phil Jackson describe his team before Game 4, you'd think the Lakers were in desperate need of Cesar Millan.
In a long response to a question about his young team, Jackson likened it to raising dogs, comparing backup point guard Jordan Farmar to a poodle and describing perpetually injured reserve center Chris Mihm as a Saint Bernard. Kobe Bryant, of course, is "top dog." (If you're wondering where Jackson learned his dog training skills, he made a cameo appearance when girlfriend Jeanie Buss called in the Dog Whisperer to straighten out her pooch).
I've always thought of Odom as a big puppy. He makes a lot of mistakes but has such a pity-inducing face that it's hard to stay mad at him.
