Is 'Khloe & Lamar' a bad luck charm for Lakers on Sundays?
The Lakers may be thinking about making a phone call to E! Entertainment about moving "Khloe & Lamar" to another day.
The reality show about the Lakers' Lamar Odom and his wife Khloe Kardashian is attracting a large audience for the cable network, but it may be a Sunday curse for the two-time defending champions.
Since the April 10 premiere of "Khloe & Lamar," the Lakers have lost three consecutive Sunday games. It's doubtful Odom is in a celebratory mood to watch his show after his team loses.
The Lakers lost to Oklahoma City 120-106 on April 10. The following Sunday, they lost their first playoff game to the New Orleans Hornets 109-100. They fell again to the Hornets this last Sunday, 93-88, a game that tied the best-of-seven series at two games.
Maybe moving the show to another day would bring good luck back to the Lakers.

Huge mistake by Lamar to do this show while the season is on. Bigger mistake by the Lakers to let him. And only natural for the Kardashians - like the scorpion - it's who they are.

Really? are you actually paid to write this cr*p? The show is as much bad luck to the lakers as sitting next to a millionaire is lucky for your lottery ticket. There is no direct link or scientific proof...just a belligerent lakers fan looking for an excuse. Its sport, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose and last time I checked, LO wasn't the only person on the team.

This article is so pointless and absolutely out of line, its not even funny!!! Please stop pimping the 'Let's blame it on the rain syndrome'. Like others stated above, basketball is a team sport. Looking for attention much?!?!

It's amazing that the TV industry thinks americans are that stupid to put this trash on TV. These two simply have NOTHING to offer ANYONE and are more boring that watching hair grow. Do all TV producers actually think our lives are that GD bad that we'd find watching KK and LO remotely interesting? It's an embarrassment to the network and to the producers- tell me they've been fired already PLEASE. It's even in very poor taste for advertisers....

Dude you obviously aren't a true Laker fan or you would know that they have had a history of playing bad on Sundays for years. Where have you been? Quit hatin and let them be. The Lakers just need to turn that dang switch on and leave it there. Stick to entertainment cuz you're not a sports analysts.

Reality shows are taped a long time before they air. It's an interesting correlation though.

Lamar Odom was a good guy and great player until he became one of the Kardashians. They are all fake celebs who do nothing but create drama. Poor Lamar .. he could have done much better.... too bad.....
