But since that athlete is Metta World Peace, AKA Ron Artest, we’ll never be over it, because WHEN IS HE GOING TO DO IT AGAIN??? Alas, we also can’t be over it when the original victim has now become the hunter. During the first quarter of last night’s incredibly-exciting-despite-the-score 77-75 win over the Los Angeles Lakers, Oklahoma City Thunder guard and NBA 6th Man of the Year James Harden got a little revenge on World Peace when he crossed him up and jabbed him in the cheek with his elbow. Responded World Peace, “IRONY!” The beauty of that play, which is clearly accidental unless Harden is a ninja, is World Peace’s face after it happens.

This game was awesome.  Laker fans are so quick to turn on their own team. Kobe makes a shot and he's the best player in the league. Kobe turns it over and they want him amnestied. I sure slept well last night. A blow out win for my Celtics and then a soul crushing come from behind win by my Thunder. And a good game by Perk to boot. I think my favorite comment was the...

Lakers 99, Thunder 96: Could you get into this game?  If so, you’re a tougher soldier than I.  Mentally, I tuned out after James Harden was called for three fouls he didn’t commit in a span of 90 seconds.  I’m not crying conspiracy, but whatever it was that led to a total of 52 fouls and 60 free-throw attempts (42 of which were shot by the home team, who made an incredible...
