The Wolves started the game playing dirty. For example, Latrell Sprewell laying out Derek Fisher and the call being called on Fisher??? How? I really don't know. So you knew the Lakers would retaliate. When they did, that is when all the technicals were given out. The Wolves better find somethin better if they want to win in LA. However, the Lakers better not just think because they are the best team that they are going to win. The Wolves won't give them any respect.

Where was the MVP tonight? Nearly 17 minutes in the second half with out a FG from Garnett... if Wally wasn't on fire this one woulda been worse then 11. How about GP coming out and scoring 14 quick points... Lakers are gonna wrap this one up in 5.

im praying the t-wolves can win... i've always hated the lakers.. their top player is talentless, he's just an oger who was born huge and can over power everyone ... hit a free throw for cryin-out-loud .. ur the highest payed player in the league, atleast hit FREE THROWS ....
ive always been a KG fan and now he has sprewell and cassel which i also always liked .... i hope they play dirty, have u watched the games... i see so many bull s*** fouls called on people defending shaq, yeah he gets fouled alot, but come on, they call some touch fouls on a 350 lb guy.... thats unnecessary

besides everyone involved with the lakers (coach included) are just title chasers ... lets go to a team that has the sure shot to win some championsips, since we cant do it with out an all-star team :evil:

Do you know anything about basketball? Seriously, arent all players title chasers? Yeah, i'm pretty sure thats what you play for. Why wouldnt you go to a team to win a championship? Who wants to end their career with a team thats going to win 20 games? For example, Scottie Pippen going back to the Bulls. I'm sure he wishes he would've never done that. You really need to think before you post. Also, the Lakers won it 3 other times with just Kobe and Shaq. So pretty sure they can do it without 4 hall of famers.[/quote]

Most of the time the TWolves foul Shaq it is intentional... they'd much rather send a 35% FT shooter to the line then let him slam it home... so I'm not sure where all these crap calls are you mentioned. Secondly, to say Shaq is talentless is one of the dumbest things i've ever heard.. you must not know much about basketball. Did you see the pivot drop step Shaq used last night about halfway through the game... you find me someone else that is 7'1" and 350 lbs that can do that. Find me one player in any sport that isn't a "title chaser"... everyone plays the game with that as one of their goals.

this series will be a 6 game series. garnett has one more great performance in him. the t-wolves cant beat the lakers w/o garnett playing his best unless the lakers decide not to show up like they did in game 2. garnett is the best player in the world. being guarded by the biggest cheap shot artist of all time, he has tough go in this series. although, that cheap shot man should not have played last nite....
the t-wolves cannot play good enough defense to beat the lakers in a 7 games series. i wish they could, but they just wont win. i know 2 teams battling in the eastern conference finals right that can hold down the lakers defensively. the question w/ those teams is whether they can score enough to beat the lakers. it should be an interesting finals.
finally, shaq is the best player the lakers have and is the main reason they have had their success.

All Kobe did last night was complain to the refs and they finally T'd him up for it. He whines like he should calls like MJ got when hes not even in MJ's LEAGUE.
Shaq does have some talent but i hate watchin him play cuz he does the same thing almost everytime......pivot and dunk......pivot and dunk.....its get old. If i was 7'1" and 350 lbs. or w/e he is with his size i could do that to. The thing is he cant do a thing that actually takes skill like.....shootin foul shots.
And Malone shouldnt have been playing, he takes a cheap shot and only gets a fine that doesnt make sense. If he was on any other team he woulda had a one game suspension.
