The Mavs went 3-1 when Odom was starting and now the Mavs are 0-3 without Odom. It's not a coincidence.

I think it's closer to a coincidence that it is to being proof that Odom is indispensable to this team. Honestly, he's an embarrassingly low-efficiency 7.7/4.5/1.7 guy right now, and I don't think the numbers even reflect just how poorly he's played for 95% of his time on the floor.
