Lamar Odom Doesn't Know Where the Hell He is

This clip is from Wednesday night's Lakers/Hornets contest, in which the Lakers were manhandled on their own court. Somewhat lost among Chris Paul's outstanding performance was this Odom boner:



You don't see that every day.
"Lamar made one of the most unusual plays I've ever seen in basketball," [head coach Phil] Jackson said, referring to Odom dribbling the ball inbounds instead of passing it. "I've seen it once before in a junior high game."
That's not something a guy does unless his mind is somewhere else completely--and it makes perfect sense that he was battling a head cold. Certainly something you can play through, but good luck focusing on anything. When I have a head cold, I'm lucky if I don't attempt to shave with my toothbrush. Odom also committed seven turnovers on the night.

Why Phil Jackson didn't just sit him and get him some Nyquil, I'm not sure.
