Jordan Farmar

Odom had 2 steals, 2 blocks and 2 assists. And Jordan Farmar (16 and 6 with 2 steals) would start on most of the other teams in the L. It’s almost not fair because the bench brings a diff

But watch as the season goes on for him to become much more efficient. Trevor Ariza and Jordan Farmar are playing amazing as well. And Andrew Bynum pulled down 17 boards Wednesday night. Ever

ttie Pippen reincarnated—but with more athleticism (how about that oop off the backboard from Jordan Farmar!)

-    Speaking of J-Far, kid looks completely in control. Sure, he was matched up against Roko Ukic (who played decently when comfortable, but was more lost than found out there) and Jose Calderon. One's a green rook learning American ball, the other a not-so-good defender. But Farmar just had this air of determination and dominance about him.

Andrew Bynum has reportedly been working out with Chris Mihm and could run through full practice as early as this week. This is great news. Also great news is the recent play of Lamar Odom. As discussed last week in this blog, Odom has finally started to play with a fire and confidence that has been sorely lacking from his all-around game. He’s shooting 86 percent in his last two games. He’s found a great rhythm playing with both Kobe and especially Gasol and has become deadly efficient.

Add in the likes of Jordan Farmar, Mike Conley, Jameer Nelson, Beno Udrih, even Delonte West (who looks reinvigorated to be playing again) and the talent level around the league at the 1 has gone up considerably.
