    It SHOULD be an easy win, but you know the Lakers'...nothing is easy.

    I also hope this is an easy victory and the Lakers bench can maintain the lead so Gasol, Kobe, & Fisher can rest the entire 4th quarter.

    Sucks that both Bynum AND Jefferson are out. Two young studs, I loved watching them matchup earlier on in the season.

    Best of luck to both.

    Anyways, I just realized this is an early game. About to start in less than an hour. Good news for me. I shall watch it.

    Pau looks incredibly comfortable in the post, his footwork and touch have been outstanding again.

    This game is a lot closer than I'd want. It's been going back and forth in the 1st half and the TWolves are winning all the hustle plays. The longer the Lakers keep them in the game the more confidence this team is gaining. Our second unit blew another lead with Craig Smith killing our inside.

    Kobe ties the game at 50. He's only 2 points from passing Elgin Baylor in scoring.

    Lakers need to get some stops on defense though. TWolves lead 61-60
