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.

Not for the first time this season, the Los Angeles Lakers looked a lot better when Kobe Bryant wasn’t playing, including a very good but short game for Jeremy Lin in a 104-103 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, with the name of the selfish scorer written all over another disappointing ending.

Metta World Peace Elbows James Harden; Ejection Now, Suspension Later
Metta World Peace or the player formerly known as Ron Artest actually went back to his Artest days, branding a great game of basketball between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Oklahoma City Thunder with a disgusting and impossible to understand elbow to the head of James Harden, which took Harden out of the game and got MWP ejected to an ignorant stadngin ovation.
