OKLAHOMA CITY — Seven games ago, Ron Artest (who calls himself Metta World Peace) put an elbow in James Harden’s face and earned himself a city full of foes.

Now, all of Oklahoma City is anxious to see how Thunder fans will greet Artest at Monday night’s game.

Twitter has exploded with ideas for how the crowd should react when the announcers say, “Metta World Peace.”

A fan who calls himself “Captain Thunder,” said, “I think the crowd is going to ‘boo’ him and probably throw him out. But we can’t do that. This is Oklahoma City. We believe in being right.”

Game 1 of Round 2 of the NBA playoffs begins at 8:30 p.m. Monday
