Khloe tweeted basically those same things on Saturday and Sunday and it was a part of a story until today.

1 - what is the story?

2 - she knows her following and she knows she is being read. Why put anything out there to stir any talk? I realize in a sense, she is danged if she does, and danged if she doesnt. But Dallas was very loving to her. This can get misconstrued very, very easily.

Where?

Dallas fans do not blame Lamar for the team sucking. They blame Lamar for Lamar sucking. Writing negative articles about Lamar doesn't mean those writers are solely blaming him. DAL forums all across the net don't blame him either for the team's problems. They just think he's useless.

I'm sorry but Lamar deserves the criticism, but because he's criticized doesn't mean he's the only one who is or that he's responsible for the team's failures

No ma'am. Most Dallas fans, and I say this as a devoted Mavs' fan who listens to talk radio and reads Mavs message boards, do not blame this season on him. The reason the Mavs are terrible this season is 1) Championship hangover 2) Dirk's knee 3) Cubes not resigning Tyson and Deshawn Stevenson 4) they are old as hell.

Lamar brought the team down with his emo-ness and not being in shape, but most fans don't blame him for the poor season.

The Lakers can't sign him until December and considering Phil is gone, I doubt they will.

And let's be real. I know you like Lamar and all, but Lamar has been utter crap this season and it has nothing to do with the coach not finding the golden key that will unlock his potential... How many teams has Lamar played on? How many different rosters has he played on? How many different systems has he played under in his career? Even if he had came to a team that was pretty much set (Dallas wasn't btw), what kept him from saying "listen. this is what I can bring to the team, these are my strengths, my weaknesses, so lets try and see how I can fit into the system"? You think they didn't tell him what they expected from him? How they were gonna use him? These people are not idiots. They know basketball.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, the Mavs' struggles are not only Lamar's fault. Actually, they're barely his fault, because dude's been a non-MF-factor all season long. What sets him apart from his team mates is that while they played badly at times as well, they were at least TRYING to do better. Lamar wasn't, plain and simple.

From the look of things, Lamars days as a "great" player are numbered. I don't think he'll go to Europe in the off-season, but I don't think there is a team in the NBA willing to pay him significantly more than the vet-min, which is pretty much what he's worth at this point. While I do not doubt that he still can produce quality basketball (when he's in shape, the stars are aligned juuuuuust right and Khloe made sure he ate properly - you know how cranky he gets when he's hungry :crybaby: ), after what he's shown this season he is a great risk for any top tier team to take... I've always said I wanted him in Milwaukee, but I think he should be traded to / bought out by New Orleans... :whistle: #KarmaLamar

Khloe & Lamar didn’t help Lamar Odom’s tenure with the Dallas*Mavericks

All that scrutiny would impact even the most disciplined athlete.

'DALLAS — It's the ultimate irony that Lamar Odom and the Dallas Mavericks would part ways one day after Khloe & Lamar shows them arriving in Dallas.

Or maybe it's not. In retrospect, Odom's career in Dallas seems like a cautionary tale about the dangerous effect of living your life on reality TV.....

'.......Successful professional athletes have a trained ability to tune out a lot of cheers and jabs from the crowd. Part of his job includes managing that audience. But his audience is bigger than the crowd watching the sport -- it's also the people watching his soap opera....

'.........Lamar said as much on Sunday night's episode, admitting that his poor playing in his first game with Dallas was compounded by the embarrassment he felt with it being seen "on national TV."......

Nobody who knows even just a bit about basketball is blaming Lamar for Dallas being in the position they are in. What he (rightfully) caught flack for was being terribly out of shape at the beginning of the season, the tantrum he threw after being traded/not-traded to the Hornets, demanding a trade to the team that swept his team in the '11 play-offs, publicly whining about going to miss playing in front of Jack and the L.A. lifestyle (movie premieres and such) in general, his lack of effort during games (and from what I've heard also in practice), his dubious elongated leave of absense (and subsequent meeting with Cuban where he asked to be bought out) and just his attitude towards basketball in general, which has caused him to become a locker room cancer.
While people do feel for what he's gone through - the death of that teenager, the "betrayal" by the Lakers - the general consensus is that if he felt like he was not mentally up to the task to play ball, then he should have done the sensible thing to get counseling and take the year off...

I was thinking the same thing -- why is she tweeting if not for everyone to see?

The line of Dash/Kardashian Khaos merchandise must not include private journals....then again, why would they....:laugh::laugh:


I feel sorry for Lamar. He seriously lost all credibility when he said he would miss Jack Nicholson. And that sex swing could not have helped either. Its painful to watch this trainwreck, even if I am only watching it on this thread and nowhere else.

Lamar can still make a come back next year. if he plays well, this year can be a distant memory.
IMO Khloe needs to be schooled in what and when to tweet. She needs to step off the reality tv wife and focus on being a good basketball wife during his rough patches.

some people blame blame her and the show for his distracted playing.

The show and Khloe (because she pushes for the show) are distractions to Lamar playing. The reason he was out of shape for the short pre-season was because he was having swing set sex with Khloe on cameras. He has not been able to focus on basketball and he even alluded to it many times on interviews.

For me, Lamar has low self-esteem gets down on himself easily and makes rash decisions. He is so happy to be accepted by the Kardashian clan even though he married the least attractive of the bunch. So, if Kris Jenner wants him to do the show, he will do it to stay on their good side. It is a shame for him. He has said many times that it is 'hard' for him to tape the show and it was a 'distraction' during his last season in LA.

Sadly for him, he has no one to counsel him properly so he is at the mercy of the Kardashian klan. I do like Lamar has a player and always root for people who comes from such impoverished conditions like he has and makeachieve the American dream. But, until the Kardashians are the main advisors in his life, it is only going to go downhill. Will just have to tune in but I would not be suprised if that is the end of his professional basketball career, sad but not surprised at all.

You live here in Dallas? Because half your response is simply untrue.


BTW, the Mavs son't suck right now, they're not in the bottom half of their conference. Dirk on average makes 22.9 ppg and is averaging 21.2 and the season isn't over.
I said it earlier and I'll say it again, the real Dallas media isn't scapegoating anyone. They're pretty equal opportunity when it comes to mistakes.

But FYI, Lamar typically averages 14.2 ppg and is only averaging 6.6. . . . you do the math ;)
