Los Angeles Lakers – Jeremy Lin Keeps Getting Thrown Into the Same Situation
The Miami Heat didn’t need to be at their best to beat the Los Angeles Lakers 100-94, knowing very well that focusing their defense on Jeremy Lin in the second half is pretty much the best way to slow down their opponents, crippled by having a weak squad, tanking for a strategy and Byron Scott for a head coach.

San Antonio Spurs – The Best Team Ever, Sort of
The Los Angeles Lakers keep losing. The San Antonio Spurs? They’re a little bit off their game, but not so much as to derail them from their annual trip to the NBA playoffs, and on the way also become, at least for now, the team with the best regular season winning percentage in NBA history.

Los Angeles Lakers – Jeremy Lin Makes the Most of Opportunities, His Team Doesn’t
Maybe Byron Scott is tired of being referred to as a joke so he started giving Jeremy Lin more playing time. It hasn’t translated into wins in the last two games, including the Los Angeles Lakers losing 104-103 to the Charlotte Hornets, but there’s no denying how much better the team looks when Lin is on the floor.

Los Angeles Lakers – Jeremy Lin Doing Great, Byron Scott Not so Much
The Oklahoma City Thunder without Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant have no business beating anyone, but the Los Angeles Lakers take pride in their losing ways, or at least their head coach Byron Scott and front office do, once again letting a great game from Jeremy Lin go down in a wasteful mismanagement of playing time and substitutions.

Los Angeles Lakers – Jeremy Lin Makes Byron Scott Look Good
The funny thing about the Los Angeles Lakers winning three games in a row? Someone might actually think Byron Scott has something to do with it. Jeremy Lin, along with a suddenly hot Wayne Ellington, did most of the work in a 101-93 win over the Milwaukee Bucks, not their irrelevant head coach.

Los Angeles Lakers – Jeremy Lin Doesn’t Repeat, Byron Scott Gets Lucky
The Los Angeles Lakers win consecutive games for the first time in 2015, beating the Utah Jazz 100-97. Jeremy Lin didn’t get to be the hero again, trying a bit too hard to recapture that magical finish, while Jordan Clarkson enjoyed a very good game and Byron Scott looked as useless as ever.

Los Angeles Lakers – Jeremy Lin Playing Great Makes Byron Scott & Kobe Bryant Unhappy
The title is misleading in a way. Why? Because Byron Scott and Kobe Bryant didn’t make grumpy faces about Jeremy Lin. They were angry at the way Jordan Hill, Carlos Boozer and Nick Young behaved after the Los Angeles Lakers finally ended their losing streak. As if players on a terrible team aren’t allowed to celebrate.

Los Angeles Lakers – Jeremy Lin is a Superstar When He’s Allowed to be
No more losing streak for the Los Angeles Lakers, at least for a couple of nights, as Jeremy Lin took his game to the levels he has rarely reached this season and carried the team to a 118-111 victory with a terrific performance in the fourth quarter and overtime.

Remember When the Celtics vs Lakers Meant Something?
The Los Angeles Lakers are a sad, bad, broken down team. The Boston Celtics aren’t much better, but they’re trying to win, at least. Byron Scott, on the other hand, is doing his best to lose at every opportunity, from his weird abuse of Jeremy Lin and Nick Young to making purposeful wrong decisions at every turn of the road, hoping it gets him more years at the job for perceived loyalty to the grand master plan.

Los Angeles Lakers – Jeremy Lin With Another Lesson on Playing for a Tanking Team
The Los Angeles Lakers blow another lead in a winnable game, this time against the Brooklyn Nets, as the incompetence of Byron Scott keeps putting Jeremy Lin out of the game when he’s most needed. It was a good game for him on a personal level, but a proud and glorified franchise is sinking faster than the speed of light.
