T-Wolves beat Evil Empire 89-71, go to LA tied 1-1!!!

[SmileyBoy]

Gawd, the Lakers are a bunch of thugs. Well I knew that already, but they really act like a bunch of cowardly bullies when a team is kicking their ass - And soundly, at that. The rapist - I mean Kobe, had a good game, but you can't win against us when Shaq is sucking at the free throw line (if he's not shooting off his mouth), and Karl Malone is acting like a thug.

Look for us to take one of the games in LA and bring it back to the Target Center tied 2-2.

The Fakers don't deserve another ring.

Oh well, GOOOO WOLVES!!!!

HOOOOWWWWLLLLL!!!!

1. "The rapist - I mean Kobe"

Who needs a trial?

2. Go Wolves

this Laker Hater is counting on a miracle from you

3. Lakers had a bad game today

Seen this a lot in the playoffs. Los Angeles seemed satisfied to having won 1 of 2 at the Target Center.

Still expect Minnesota to regain home court in Game 3 or 4 and make it an extended series.

4. thugs?

I guess you didn't see any of your guys throwing their share of elbows and pushes too? That guy that pushed Shaq and didn't get a 'T'????? huh? Fisher was getting tossed all night with few calls.

Lakers sucked tonight and wouldn't have won the way they were shooting anyway, but please don't pull the rough play with some of the stuff that came from your guys too. Fair is fair and it applies to both sides.

5. I kind of agree

I'm not really a fan of either team. Surely, it got a bit heated in the final quarter. If I were Jackson, I would have brought in the bottom five members of their bench. It would have been awful for anyone to get suspended in those final minutes.

I couldn't tell what happened with Malone. It didn't look that bad. Martin going after Brad Miller in that Sacramento series was more flagrant, IMO.

Sometimes games end up going like this. I doubt it will have any real impact on Game 3.

6. Simply amazing that Shaq

is even considered a superstar in the NBA. What shot does he have besides the dunk?

[nini]

10. Oh.. I don't know.... maybe that he's so hard to stop on the dunk

and short shots.

His presence under the basket is something every team would love to have.

7. go Lakers!

why is it so silent? guys? Guys? Where are you, all?

just kidding... I really don't care who wins, as long as the Pacers get whooped for beating the Heat. Have I ever told you guys how much I hate Reggie Miller?

[theoceansnerves]

8. someone explain to me

why shaq is hated so much? i understand kobe because people think he raped a girl... and maybe karl malone because he's a gun nut and just kinda weird.. but the rest of the lakers are thugs? derek fisher is a thug, how? slava medvedenko, gary payton, luke walton, kareem rush and devean george are thugs?

why does everyone hate shaq? as far as i know he hasn't raped anyone, or beat his wife, or killed anyone.. so he can't make free throws, neither can anyone on the spurs who the lakers finished off. i've never really seen shaq play dirty either, he's agressive but i've never seen him punch anyone or throw someone down. his acting and music careers suck but so what, he still comes to play every night. i just don't get it.

[nini]

9. they hate Shaq because he's so dominating

he's not as finessed as a Kareem was.. but he's strong as hell and you have to practically hang on him to try and defend against him.

He's the kind of player you'd love if he was on your team, but hate when he's not.

[THUNDER HANDS]

11. I hope the Lakers win

Just because my Nets are eliminated and I want a team I know we couldn't beat to win the championship.
