UPDATE: Odom Will Start for Lakers Tonight

Lamar "Don't Call Me Greg Oden" Odom will start in place of Andrew Bynum's injured knees tonight. This means that Yao will be guarded by that pesky Spaniard, Pau Gasol. At times on Monday, Gasol reached around from behind Yao and poked entry passes away, making Yao work much harder on offense. He will probably frustrate Yao tonight, so the Rockets will need a big game from Luis Scola. Several times on Monday, Luis was matched up against Trevor Ariza on offense, with Ron Artest on Odom, and I would not be surprised to see this happen tonight. Luis needs to exploit Odom on offense if the Rockets are going to SHOCK THE WORLD and take a 2-0 lead in the series.
