Lamar Odom has received a one game suspension for the inexplicable flagrant foul he committed on Ray Allen during the Lakers' loss to Boston. I say inexplicable, because the game was basically over when Odom went and tackled Allen, so why bother? There was only 2:57 to play, and the Celtics were ahead 103-84.
Ray Allen also wondered why Odom committed such a rough foul with so little time ...

Delusional — Parquet Wishes and Leprechaun Dreams
Now Lamar Odom claims that his hit on Ray Allen was " not excessive " (latimes.com): The Lakers weren't thrilled with the one-game suspension the league handed Lamar Odom.

Lamar Odom Explains His Flagrant Foul — FanHouse
I was of the opinion that the flagrant foul committed by Lamar Odom in the final minutes of the Lakers' loss to the Celtics was inexplicable, but apparently I was wrong. Odom did have an explanation for it, but as you'll see, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense:
"If I was to cheap shot him, he would have known I cheap shot him. But, I didn't really try to cheap shot him. I was just making ...
On the plus side, it was a perfect form tackle — Lakers Blog
Shoulders squared. Head up. Arms wrapped around the ball carrier. Everything a fan would want from an NFL linebacker. Unfortunately, the tackler in question is Lamar Odom, who happens to play in the NBA. And the tacklee was Ray Allen, also a hoops playin' guy.

Lamar Odom: Good Kid, Dumb Player — HoopsBlogging
Late in the Lakers 19-point loss against Boston on December 30, Lamar Odom was angry. He was not only pissed off at the fact that he had to wear short-shorts for the entire first half, but he outraged over the fact that he’s had a disappointing basketball career due to nagging injuries.
So what better way to get rid of his anger than to take it out on Ray Allen, right?

LO a no go — Lakers Blog
On the one hand, losing $120,441 because of a work-related suspension might make you angry. Then again, perhaps you'd look at the bright side, see the figure and say to yourself, "God damn, I make a lot of money!" Either way, come Friday night's game against Philadelphia, Lamar Odom will be a little lighter in the wallet and the Lakers lighter on the court. The NBA has suspended Odom one game ...
