Lamar Odom Suspended for Flagrant Foul on Ray Allen
sports.aol.com 1/2/2008 — 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? ...

Odom Tackles Ray Allen (Video)

Lamar Odom Comes to Play on Sunday!
sports.aol.com 1/2/2008 — Man, Lamar Odom 's in the wrong sport. No official word from the league on how much this hit will cost L.O., though Protrade has an unsourced murmur of a whopping 10-game penalty. Odom was called for a Flagrant-1, and it should be noted Ray Allen 's ...
Time to suspend Stern
mvn.com 1/3/2008 — Am I the only one that feels the NBA’s recent plethora of suspensions is a complete joke? The most recent suspension given to Lamar Odom shows me just how low the NBA has sunk. I could cite many examples such as the Stoudamire and Diaw in last year’s playoffs or Kobe last year for the swinging of his elbows.
The play in which Lamar got whistled for is a flagrant foul and nothing more. Lamar ...
Lamar Odom Explains His Flagrant Foul
sports.aol.com 1/4/2008 — 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 ...

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. Which led to the NBA's decision to suspend LO for the hit administered. The punishment ain't all that funny in the sense of what it ...

Lamar Odom 's shoulder tackle on Boston Celtics guard Ray Allen Sunday earned the Los Angeles Lakers forward a one-game suspension, but Odom's play is indicative of the kind of physical play the Celtics have been seeing lately.

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?

In the 4th quarter of last night's blowout win over the Lakers, Lamar Odom made one of the dirtiest and most bizarre plays I have seen in an NBA game. To set the stage, there was 2:57 left in the game and the Celtics were up 103-84. Doc still had the starters in. KG just had a big block on Odom and Ray Allen tracked down the rebound and turned to go back up court. Odom came flying across ...
