My observation

I know I'm not the only one who has noticed this, but the lakers have been this way for years. They always play to the potential of their opponent. If they play a good team like the Queens, they play amazing and show their true champ colors. Yet when they play crappy teams like the T'Wolves, they totally choke. How embarrassing is this? I would imagine that the lakers will win tonight, but these days, you just never know about the lakers.

I think that is true in the regular season. But come playoffs this is a focused team that does not look past any opponent. I think this is more of a matchup problem. The lakers always will have problems with teams that have smaller quicker guards! And this series no exception!! And look ahead round two does not look any easier...pick your poison Marburry or Parker!!!

Whoa whoa whoa? How do you figure the T'Wolves are a crappy team? They are playing extremely well right now. I hate people that think these Wolves are not for real, because they are. Maybe not to beat the Lakers, but they are playing out of their minds. No one knew they had Hudson either...

Yea...No one can judge what team is a crappy team cuz at n e god given time they can play well, and playing against better teams just motivates the crappy ones to step up.

I dunno, but as Shaq says, if the Lakers have lost in this series, it has been because of mistakes they made, not what the other team did, you know? To me, the Wolves have done nothing special but feed off the Lakers' clumsy moves and constant turnovers. Game 5, the Lakers played like themselves, and got not only a victory, but a freakin' blowout. And not to say the Wolves didn't play well(for their standards), because they did. But the Lakers overachieved like they're supposed to, and they won rather easily.
