stating the obvious

[Dreyfus]

1. Lakers are 6-0 at home in the playoffs

2. Coming off a lousy game 2 and Minny has gottem pissed which is not a good thing for Minny

4. Lakers are averaging 93 points of offense and giving up 80 points on D at home which translates to an average margin of victory of 13 points

It looks like a Lakers win and cover to me.

ON WITH THE LAKE SHOW

Why are the lakers pissed? Why arent the wolves pissed? Being a near double digit dog is the ultimate slap in the face - after all, the wolves did actually own a better regualr season record...all this "revenge" is overrated...everything sounds good for game buildup, but when the whistle blows, this crap goes out the window...revenge doesn't suddenly make you a great FT shooter (Shaq), nor does it suddenly make you 10 years younger (Payton and Malone), nor does it suddenly make you a good team that finds the open man and delivers the ball into the basket (Lakers)...Kobe is in a class by himself...shaq at times is a dominating force...and the rest, is all gliitter with no substance...

I was going to ask the same thing as EZ, this is the play offs, and I am not sure I buy the pissed angle. In that case, any team who is coming off a loss would always win their next game. Everything is at stake for both teams. It's a matter of which Lakers team will show up and I can't bet them with the way they are Jekyl and Hyde. Not betting Minny but can't bet LA

Let me go further into the pissed comment. I dont believe you want to play a physically game with the Lakers and shaq. I think it plays into their hands.

Yes the lakers do not play consistent ball but watch`em how they play at home. They are a different team. They wanted game1 and didnt play hard in game 2. They did what they set out to do which was get home court advantage. I believe you will see a focused, energized lakers team the next two games.

Just my opinoin
