"Which way will the Lakers' second unit play? Impossible to tell game to game.
Andrew Goudelock continued to make an impact but Metta World Peace cratered against the Milwaukee Bucks.
Goudelock had 13 points Saturday and World Peace had only four in the Lakers' surprising 100-89 loss to the Bucks.
It was bad timing for World Peace. Lakers Coach Mike Brown said before the game the veteran forward might eventually work his way back into the starting lineup.
"I'm not opposed to that," Brown said.
Then World Peace came off the bench, made one of six shots in 21 minutes and cemented his status as a non-starter.
Goudelock had 14 points against the Clippers and was again a scoring source against Milwaukee, making five of 10 shots.
Overall, the Lakers' reserves remain in flux.
"We're a little screwy right now, but we'll get it straight hopefully," Brown said."
