1. Earvin Johnson

2. Olakandi.-I don't know how to spell his name

I don't know about that....

we got Spreewell, Cassel, and Garnet. GO T_WOLVES!!

Monarc when did u become a Minnesota fan all of a sudden? LOL. Is it because your Spurs lost & u have nobody left to cheer for? Kenny Smith cracked on Ervin Johnson a few days ago after Minnesota beat the Kings. He said that Minnesota have no big men that can guard Shaq. He said Ervin weighs as much as him & Kenny only weighs like 190-195 pounds hahahahahahahahaha. Michael Olowakandi ain't doing nothin in the playoffs. He's only averaging 2.7 rebounds in the playoffs which is horrible for a big man but Minnesota is barely playing him so that's why his rebounding stats are so low. Minnesota need to let Oliver Miller play a lot of minutes against Shaq cause he's the only big man that weighs as much as Shaq.

:( yeah basically. I love basketball so Im gonna cheer for who ever is left in the west and it will never be LA that I cheer for.
Spurs will be back next year. :mad:

The Lakers will be the Timberwolves, as much as I hate to admit it, because I hate the Lakers. But the Lakers are going to win it all.

I hope the Lakers beat the TWolves, so the Pistons can embarrass them in the finals.

I really don't care who wins the championship as long as it's NOT the Lakers.

Neither one of them are good enough Offensively or Strong enough Defensively to compete with Shaq at the Center position.

If KG, Cassell, and Spree can get half as energized as KG was in the final game against the Kings, they could easily beat the Lakers. I don't know what's up with all this negativity, you've just got to believe.... And yell at KG, Spree, and "Sam I am" to WAKE UP!!

Cassell is hurt, and that means the Lakers can concentrate on KG and Sprewell. Which also means the Lakers will be up 2-0 going back to LA

What do you know the T - Wolves beat the Lakers. Series tied at 1.

Yo I need some details 'cuz, of course, I missed it.

Minnesota won last night 89-71. Derrick Martin & Wally Sczerbiak played very well for Minnesota. Derrick had 15 points & Wally had like 18 points. Shaq only had 14 points. I think Minnesota's big men did a good job making Shaq take bad shots. I think Flip Saunders should start Oliver Miller on Shaq cause Oliver weighs as much as Shaq & Oliver can push Shaq further from the basket. Kobe at times can be a ballhog. He shoots entirely too much & he needs to get his teammates involved more. There is no excuse for Shaq to only have taken 10 shots.

when was the last time shaq had a 40 point game.?

Minnesota will not beat the Lakers at LA without Sam Cassell.

Solomon u don't know that. People probably thought Minnesota wouldn't win yesterday without Sam & they did. Don't underestimate Minnesota on the road.

Sam is the star of that team and they will not win too many games without him.

You sure Garnett ain't the star? I mean, Cassell is definitely a determining factor, but the "star" is KG, in my opinion.

I think he means that Cassell handles the rock most of the time. Garnett can't bring the ball up the court and distribute it. Poor Troy Hudson.*s*

Yeah, that's true, the point guard sets up the entire offense.

Ya'll are forgettin about Derrick Martin. He's a good backup point guard & he'll probably be startin tonight. Fred Hoiberg also did a pretty good job bringin the ball up the court Sunday.

We have not seen Derrick Martin play on the road yet which means if Sam does not play tonight, the Timberwolves will get blown out.

Well Solomon it looks like your prediction was right. Minnesota has now lost 2 games in LA & are down 3-1. Minnesota comes back home Saturday & we'll see if they can return the series back to LA for game 6. If the Lakers win game 5, i'm sure it won't be a shock to anyone. I think it's gonna be the Lakers & Detroit in the finals. Magic Johnson called Latrell Sprewell's outfit a apple jack after game 3 hahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Latrell had on a colorful sweater with a colorful hat. Charles Barkley said that's just horrible what Magic said about Sprewell. Charles also talked about Ernie Johnson's suit after game 3 saying his suit needs shoulder pads LOL. Last night Shaq talked to Charles, Kenny, Magic, Ernie after the game. Shaq spoke on that time when Charles & him got into a fight when Charles played for Houston & Shaq was with the Lakers. They showed a clip of it when Charles threw the ball at Shaq's head & Shaq swung his left fist at Charles & missed. Charles had his eyes closed when Shaq swung at him hahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

Another reason the Wolves won't beat the Lakers:

THE REFS.

I couldn't believe it. Shaq is CONSTANTLY comitting over the back fouls for rebounds, hacking away, and not getting called, EVER. Garnett is driving inside, getting hammered, and getting no calls. It's a shame David Stern has to tell the refs how to call the games. It's just frustrating to watch.

Yeah it did look like KG was getting hammered every time he went to the basket

Nobody has mentioned Kobey.....he might have something to do with the outcome.

Kobe will defintely have something to do with the outcome on Monday Night

Ok, a good reason the Wolves WILL win it is they have KG.

I predict if the Lakers lose tomorrow night at home, the Wolves are going to the NBA finals, and will undoubtedly take home the championship.

Without Cassell, it's going to be a tough task

Even though they are 2-0 when Sam plays less than 1 minute, yeah it will be tough. Sprewell will have to be on his game; we can't afford for him to be missing shots. Some help from Wally and Fred will be essential, too.

It really is horrible!

That's one of the reasons I hate watching Lakers games; it is unfair. And that Derek Fisher's crying then celebrating like a fool this year is STILL wearing on my nerves!

And the fact that the Lakers had just won three straight championships it made no sense for Derek Fisher to be crying. Prime example, Milwaukee was eliminated and none of their players were crying. You are supposed to cry when you win not lose. Crying when you lose makes you look gay.
