This week saw Pau Gasol be awarded the Western Conference Player of the Week award. Good news for Pau and the Lakers. Pau does deserve this award he has been outstanding the past three games. However a well earned award given to a Laker is not going to stop me from complaining. It may take a bit of digging but I'll find something and this time is no different.
So, with a little bit of digging, I found something to moan about. This time it's about Lamar or more accurately Lamar's absence in the consideration for player of the week. Other players were considered like Louis Scola(?) Montana Ellis(?) Brook Lopez(?) but Lamar was all but ignored despite his monstrous three games that have him averaging 17 points, 13 rebounds and 4 assists. Those are some of the best numbers in the league and not even a consideration. I know! I can sense your disgust!
Now to try and curb my image of a grumpy old man, I'll try to say something positive. It's nice to see that L.O. is energized and stepping up to fill the void of Bynum. Also while writing this Lamar has just achieved 11,000 points, 6,000 rebounds and 3,000 assists one of 29 players ever to do this. So, Lamar you have my consideration for Player of the Week(does that sound gay?)
