| October 8, 2008 The Los Angeles Times reports that coach Phil Jackson was unimpressed with Lamar Odom's performance in the preseason opener against Utah on Tuesday.

| September 30, 2008 Lamar Odom talked with Lakers coach Phil Jackson before the first day of training camp and one day after Jackson suggested Odom - much to his dismay - could come off the bench, according to the L.A.

I take the blame, totally, for this game. There is no way I can play like that. I've got to play better than that. I got to the free-throw line and didn't make free throws. I turned the ball over. That's not good enough. Especially on the road with this type of atmosphere, this type of intensity. I don't sleep tonight. I keep the TV off. I don't read the newspaper. I get out to practice tomorrow and get my butt to the free-throw line." |
| May 15, 2008 The Lakers were challenged throughout, but they emerged victorious via a 111-107 win over the Utah Jazz. Forward Lamar Odom was a big part of the effort, going 8-of-12 from the field and 6-of-6 from the free-throw line to score 22 points, adding 11 rebounds. |

| April 12, 2008 Lamar Odom has stepped up his game in recent weeks and was huge in the Lakers' 104-107 win over the New Orleans Hornets this evening. Odom went just 3-of-9 from the field and 0-of-2 from long range, but he was 7-of-8 from the free-throw line to finish with 13 points.

| March 22, 2008 Lamar Odom was one of eight Lakers in double figures on Friday night as he scored 13 points, had 12 rebounds and dished off four assists in only 29 minutes of action.

| March 16, 2008 Lamar Odom worked as the voice of statistical support for fantasy owners today, posting a double-double by going 7-of-10 from the field with 17 points and 11 rebounds in the Lakers 92-104 loss to the Rockets. Odom has enjoyed the addition of Pau Gasol in recent weeks, but todays performances shows he may be ok with Gasol nursing injury. There is still reason for concern, but Odom seems to have found his role and is making it work. |

Odom did all that while turning the ball over only twice and taking just eight shots from the field. Over the past five seasons Odom has averaged at least nine boards and 13 points a game, pretty strong numbers for a complimentary player. He should continue to ride shotgun to Bryant and Pau Gasol the rest of the year and have similar results. |
