Lakers coach Phil Jackson got solid production out of Lamar Odom on Thursday night, but knows he's not at full strength.

Odom suffered a back injury earlier in the series and hasn't been the same player. However, the monumental struggles of Andrew Bynum could force Odom back into the starting lineup for Sunday's Game 7 against the Rockets.

"We'll look at the tape and make a decision, see how much Lamar [Odom] improves over the course of the next three days," Jackson said.

Odom had 8 points and 14 rebounds in 28 minutes of action before fouling out.

Jackson said Odom was only "half a guy right now."
