Comments on: On Tap: The Minnesota Timberwolves http://www.forumblueandgold.com/2006/03/15/on-tap-the-minnesota-timberwolves-5/ A Lakers Blog. Thoughts, reflections, and the odd rant on the Los Angeles Lakers and the NBA (even the Clippers).

I just wish that it wasn't pre-determined who gets to dominate the offense in particular parts of the game, (LO gets the first half, Kobe gets the second) seeing as how this offense is predicated on taking what the defense gives you. The offense will become even more potent when they truly have a two pronged attack. LO hasn't scored 30 this year, looks like 25 is his high, but he is above his career stats in most categories (rebounds, shooting %, 3 shooting %, assists) and has scored 20 or more in 4 games this month.

I really thought this was going to be the game where Kobe passes up the game winner to an open LO (who was under the basket) or Smush (at the top of the key) but you can't teach an (27 year) old dog new tricks... What's LO's season high? If it's no more than 30 than I have a long rant coming.. What a god-awful win, I’ll take it though.

I just get so discouraged when I see posts negating any positive attributes exhibited by the team the site is dedicated to. No raider nation, no worries, just hoping the Lakers beat Minnesota Nothing personal at all, I really enjoy the dialouge on this board (props Kurt).

Are you going to take that? Why does Raider, errrrrrrrrrrrr Laker Nation always have to make things personal? Lets keep it friendly guys. #1 Cynic(n) – someone who is critical of the motives of others

Kwame a., I have been thinking the Lakers are, if not the six seed, best served as the eighth seed with Dallas on top. We've played the Spurs well but I think we match up with Dallas fairly well.
