Alright Lakers, You're Next.

Nuggets down, Kings dispatched. It's your turn you name stealing, no lake having, monster in the middle team. I'm not sure I like our chances, but you never know... if one of our jump shooters catches fire...

[Graav Wolfsong]

Ouch, looks like Shaq took care of business tonight. :D

[OneMadOgre]

Yeah. No point guards is going to kill us.

[Graav Wolfsong]

Karl Malone really impressed me.
I mean, the guy is 41 years old and he actually outplayed KG tonight. I havent seen anyone do that well against KG in a long time.
Considering his great defensive effort against Tim Duncan and now against Garnett, I'd say Malone is just that little extra sumthin' the Lakers need to pull out another championship.
All they have to do is stick Malone on KG and let Shaq take care of everything else in the paint.

Then again, the Timberwolves are probably tired too. Kinda sucks to only have one day rest after a 7 game series before you have to deal with the Lakers.

God I hate the Wolves. Kevin Garnett is an idiot. They only beat the Kings because the Kings were stupid and kept Chris Weber in who screwed up the whole thing.

[Drakeon]

Please don't make kings fans look like idiots with such posts windwalker.

The whole series was close and the kings loss to the wolves can't really be blamed on any one thing.

I'm all for Laker bashing. And I, being from Northern California, have a real reason to :D. Althuogh my reasons of course pale in camparison to having my team stolen from me, as is the clearly the case with OMO, who I now surmise is from the Minnesota area? Anyway good luck with those purple and yellow monsters. (I still say it's a foul every time Shaq runs someone over in the paint).

Shaq's succsess from the freethrow line sure came out of left field. He said afterwards it was because he read an aticle on the plane about an 80 year old man who hit 3000 freethrows in a row and he realized he had to focus less on the act of shooting and more on routine. Or something. It was a little bit bizarre.

And that on the same day his ex-girlfriends maid was stabbed to death by her own son in Shaqs house while their daughter was at school.
Shaq is trying to upstage Kobe on the whole personal life drama situation. :lol:

I dont think the Lakers will get away with another win that easy tonight tho', KG seemed really upset with himself after the last loss.
And if the Wolves lose this one theyre in big trouble as they have to win at the STAPLES center to stay alive.

I really admire Cassel for his will to play, he is in alot of pain but still plays hard and does a pretty good job. I mean, 16 points and 8 assists in 32 minutes with a back injury, hip injury and a ruptured eardrum. Thats hardcore.
If hes still gonna play the Lakers might try to exploit more him by having Payton push him around a bit for some post plays.

[windwalker]

Yes Drakeon, but I need SOMEONE to blame.

[Drakeon]

Yea I know, I'm frustrated too.

We've been getting to the playoffs for 4 years now and we can't even get back to how good we were in 2002 (WCF vs Lakers which WAS stolen from us..)
