The problem isn't that Odom didn't get the rebound, the problem is that he left Tayshaun Prince wide open in the corner to stop penetration by Billups, in a 2-point game. You can't give up a wide-open three-pointer, that's just common sense.
It's either a lack of intuitive recognition or poor basketball IQ, but he's made a good number or poor basketball decisions in crucial times throughout his career.
I don't really blame Odom though, I thought the Pistons forwards would outplay him and they did.
Actually, I expected the Pistons to blow us out. Neither team has a serious post presence, but the Pistons are a better shooting team with better defense. That should have guaranteed the win, but Kobe got hot, Fish found his touch again tonight, and Turiaf gave us a real boost.
I personally think if Radman didn't get one minute of playing time tonight, we would have had 6 solid possessions to burn.
