Los Angeles Lakers – Jeremy Lin Doing Great, Byron Scott Not so Much
Posted on 2 Mar, 2015, by Greg in Basketball
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.
When Lin got back into the game in the third quarter, the Thunder had already opened up a 10 point lead. Lin played well in the finale, not getting benched, but it wasn’t enough with the Lakers playing terrible defense, nothing new, despite Scott being a “defensive expert”, something only he actually believes in. Lin finished with 20 points and 8 assists, getting most of his points by attacking the basket, but it would have been sweeter had it been a win.

The Thunder have now won for only the fifth time this season without their two stars. All five wins have come against the poorest of the bunch throughout this season: Nuggets, Kings, Celtics, Jazz and now the Lakers. The Thunder outscored the Lakers by 8 points on transition but more importantly took advantage of their opportunities with 10-of-14 from the field on those instances, while the Lakers shot just 8-of-19 from the field and 25% from beyond the arc on transition offense.
As always with Scott, he stuck to his guns a bit too much – early and later in the game. Both Wayne Ellington and Jordan Clarkson were having a bad time and combined to shoot just 10-of-29 from the field, although Lin was pretty much the only available guard for the Lakers off the bench. That’s the only reason he played for 32 minutes, a number that should be automatic for him on any given night when playing for the Lakers, but we all know the reasons why it’s not happening.

In short? Good game for Lin and maybe his confidence, bad for the Lakers for all the usual reasons. It’s hard finding something refreshing and new to say about team steered into an iceberg, with the people at the helm hoping for a crash that’s as messy as possible, hoping it results in a higher draft pick. As hard as Lin and some others are trying, Scott can feel safe and happy that his abysmal job at head coaching the team is producing the required results.

奥克拉荷马城雷霆在失去西部和阿杜后已无力击败任何一只球队，但洛杉矶湖人在失败的道路上昂首阔步，至少他们的教头BS和前台官方这么做，再次用废物般的上场时间和替换毁掉一场JLin的伟大比赛
当Lin在第3节回到场上时，雷霆领先已经拉大到10分。Lin在第4节发挥出色，没有被冰，但抵不住湖人奇烂的防守，见怪不怪，尽管BS是“防守专家”——只是他相信的吧。Lin拿到20分8助，大部分分数都是通过攻击篮筐得到，但如果获胜就更美了

雷霆本赛季双星缺阵只获得5胜。这5胜都对上本赛季最差的板凳队：金块，国王，凯尔特人，爵士，现在是湖人。雷霆在转换进攻中领先湖人8分，这及其重要的优势源于他们把握住10-14的机会，而湖人仅仅8-19的快攻3分命中率25%
和往常一样，BS总是刻板地调度比赛的前段和后段。WEllington和JClarkson表现不佳，合力投出10-29，而Lin从板凳出发好很多。这是唯一的理由他打了32分钟，这样的上场时间他每场比赛应该自动获得，但我们都知道为什么不会发生

总之，Lin发挥出色也许给他信心，输球却满足了湖人的追求。对于厕所点灯的球队已无话可说，掌舵的家伙都盼望着被撞得支离破碎，好得到高的选秀顺位。Lin和一些其他人再怎么试图努力，BS都快活似神仙，反正他这个走狗主教练是奉命行事
