Joe, I love your enthusiasm. I lived in MN for 2 years, and during that time, always rooted for the Wolves, except when they played the Lakers.

You know who's a great announcer?

Kevin Harlan. I really liked it when he was doing the games there

Tonight LA goes up 3-2!!!

[llcooljoe]

nope kg is goin to have around 30 points and that is going to be enough to win the game 3-2 mn

I certainly hope so; but if we're gonna win, can't have Kobe shooting 7-25.

I seriously think Kobe has an injured shoulder (remember that missed dunk in game 2 where Rasho hit him in the upper arm region?

Devean better step up and face-guard Wally. The key to stopping Wally is to make him dribble and shoot; that's when he's at his worst, much like Fox and Fisher.

i think kobe is goin to try to play and just hurt la because his shoulder he wont play his best

well, today is do-or-die for the Wolves. If they lose this game, series is over.

Lakers 120, Wolves 90
all I can say is wow!!! a combination of tremendous Lakers defense with poor Wolves offense execution, and the game was over in the 3rd quarter.

One would think this game wakes up the champion Lakers, and keeps them motivated for game 6. But if they return to their form for this season, it will mean Wolves blow out Lakers, and we get a game 7.

Devean stepped up big time, as he and Shaw combined to shackle Wally.

Game 6 is Thursday at Staples at 7:30

I love the Wolves (esp. since I lived there for 2 years),...and it's sad to see KG basically playing all by himself.

However, KG has no one else b/c of his ridiculous salary, which he's gotten ever since his rookie season. In fact, the 100M+ multi-year deal he signed right out of high school was a part of the reason for the salary cap rules.

Garnett was being paid about $15-20M throughout his basketball career. It's now over $25M. Garnett is going to have to take a pay cut if he wants another superstar on the team. Shaq barely is making a bit over $20M.

Why the Wolves paid Wally about 50-80M boggles my mind; b/c this guy has NOT improved one bit in past several years. He's a poor man's version of Reggie Miller, and can easily be defended.

Boy, I was distraught after game 3; but now, the pendulum has swung to pure ecstasy!!

pod-
I told you not to doubt the Lakers. This series is over. Bring on San Antonio!!!
