Tues. 3/1 - Lakers @ T-Wolves - Predictions & Comments

Ron, that was bad.

Wow.


Also, that court looks horrible.

Well I've figured out how Kevin Love gets so many rebounds on the defensive end, because his a** is always camped in the paint. Dude could set up shop in there.

Pathetic half. We trail bc Kobe did nothing. Don't expect another half like that.

Down 5 at halftime against the T-Wolves?! Automatic loss, cancel the parade.

QFT

Who's the woman with Jim Hill? Where's James Worthy?

Gasol with only 4 attempts even with Bynum being limited due to fouls is one of our problems. Those shots went to Ron and Fisher and that's never a good thing.....

Mediocre half... staying withing striking distance... this is a marathon not a sprint. Phil is going to slap them buddhist style and get them motivated... give the TWolves and Rambis some credit they were up the Lakers typically bored with losing teams... they'll come around or else taste that taste we all hate like someone's rear end... Kobe hates that more than he loves winning... we'll be alright...

If someone is displeased with the effort we are showing in this game, then it makes sense to share it here. if you dont like it.... too damn bad.

the end.

It's not that, I just logged on before I turned on the game, saw some of the comments and figured we were down like 20 or something. Then I turn on the tv and we're down 3 and I'm like 'huh?'. It's like have we not seen enough Laker games to know they start slow and make comebacks? That you can't ALWAYS lead in a ball game? Maybe the loss to the Cavs just changed me, I feel like nothing can ever come close to being that bad again.

Well said. The Lakers were simply awful in the first half. All I want is for them to turn it up a little so they win the game instead of losing to a joke of a team.

He's being inducted into the National Collegiate Basketball HOF.

Kobe did a good job getting the ball to our shooters. Our shots just aren't falling. But they will fall down the line

I know, but it's just that we were shooting it so poorly. I'm sure the Lakers will win.

Normally I would whole heartedly agree, however the M.O. of this team this year is to get down early to bad teams and never quite get back up the hill and then give up in the late 3rd quarter. This has happened at least 5 times this year both home and away.....

Congrats to James Worthy then. Now, who's the lady sitting next to Jim Hill?

all right all right. i admit, idk why but i just hate it when the lakers are down bc i know, we all know, that they are just so much btr than this. i need to tone it down on thinking it's the end of the world for the lakers.

but yeah i just have too high expectations of lakers leading a whole game and blowing everyone out of the water.

my fault.

i do really believe the lakers can win this game and probably will; just hard on me seeing them trail. that is all, thanks folks

Exactly. I know Minny is a bad team, which is why the fact they're leading ticks me off. I want the Lakers to come out strong and put this game away.

I understand. I feel the same way you do.

Yeah, but the Lakers have seemingly turned that corner since the AS break. We got down to the Thunder, came back and won. We were only up 2 on the Clippers at halftime, came out and blew them out after that. We were down to Portland, came back, took it to OT and won. I have faith that this team isn't messing around anymore and will find ways to pull out these wins again, a poor shooting night is different than giving no effort to me.

I know what you're saying. Just chalk it up to me worrying too much.

I'm still wary. I was certain they turned a corner when they won the first four of their seven game road trip...and then Cleveland happened. lol

Lakers bricking shots in shoot around too.

Well that's why I say 'seemingly'.

Another dumb possession

Fisher had some balls to try his hand at a Bryant step-through.
