How is Lin doing? I haven't followed him lately.

Very good actually. And the Knicks still haven't been eliminated. Rumors of their demise have been greatly exaggerated.

Ok, I see that they're 8th seeded. BTW, what's the deal with the Lakers? They're so good at Staples and so awful everywhere else. What gives?

Yup. Pretty darn good.

A bad road record is usually the sign of a poor playoff team. And Bynum got himself thrown out of a game the moment the Lakers said they were exercising a 16 million dollar club option on him. Maybe he thought he deserved an extension?

Yeah, I don't see any champagne in the Lakers locker room this season.
