Laker blow-out. Kobe goes off really aggressively like the 62 in 3 quarters game.

Need to end this losing skid, Cant let the Wolves stay in the game. Take care of the weaker teams in the early quarters.

This game is not just a winnable game. It's a must win game. We can't fall to .500. The guy's just have to man up and win the game. No excuses for a losing this one.

I hope we win, and there's a chance we'll win, but I'm really not sure. On the Lakers.com Practice Report, Phil said that Ronny needs to be evaluated and might not go with the team on Tuesday to Minnesota. He also said that Mihm is having some inflammation on his ankle so he didn't practice. So there were only 10 guys and Phil didn't like the way they practiced.

I hope we can win this game, we shouldn't go down with a loss to a 2-13 team...this game needs to spark us to beat Denver on Wednesday and go from there.

MASSACRE’S MATCHUPS - LA LAKERS (9-8) @ MIN TIMBERWOLVES (2-13)

GAME PREVIEW (ANALYSIS):

The Lakers come into Minnesota having lost 2 consecutive games. After spanking the Denver at home, Los Angeles suffered a defeat at the hands if the Utah Jazz, who were without Mehmet Okur and Carlos Booozer. The indications of another inconsistent season have clearl shown.

"You're not a good team until you can play the same way all the time," Lakers forward Lamar Odom said. "Even when you're not scoring the ball, you still have to play defense ... we've yet to have that throughout the whole game."

Minnesota in Los Angeles have already played eachother once this season. That game resulted in a 107-93 Los Angeles win behind 30 points from Kobe Bryant. Since that meeting, the Lakers have gone 6-6, still floating 1 game above .500.

Kobe Bryant has averaged 36.0 PPG in his last 4 meetings with the TImberwolves.

C:Al Jefferson
F:Ryan Gomes

MASSACRE'S MATCHUP:

Two of the leagues young centers square off tonight. WIth Kwame Brown and Ronny Turiaf out, Los Angeles has no clear answer for Jefferson. Look for Minnesota's offense to be reliant on the play of Al Jefferson. Predicted stats: 22 points, 10 rebounds, 1 block.

Bynum currently leads the Lakers in rebounding and has been receicing increased minutes since Kwame Brown shocked city of Los Angeles and re-injured himself. Look for Los Angeles to play Bynum heavy minutes early on. Predicted stats: 13 points, 12 rebounds, 2 blocks.

PREDICTED OUTCOME: Los Angeles gets a season-best performance from Kobe Bryant en route to a huge win over Minnesota. The Timberwolves are took weak to consistently keep up with any team in the NBA.
