    A major adjustment the T-Wolves will make in this game is to have Peeler & Gill matching up with Kobe instead of Wally. Wally will be the weakside help in this game so he can have more energy on the offensive end.

    I still think the Lakers will blow the T-Wolves out again tonight. Shaq will be ready to go, and the great outside shooting of the Lakers should continue tonight.

    The Wolves strategy going into game one was to take Shaq and Kobe out of the game and let the other players beat them. At the start of the game the Wolves shut down Shaq and Kobe and the rest of the Lakers got hot. Then the Wlves abandoned there strategy by guarding the other players which let SHAQ and Kobe get hot and it was all down hill from there.

    If I were the Wolves I would keep the same strategy:

    1. shut down Kobe
    2. Shut down SHAQ
    3. Let the other players beat you

    They abandoned their strategy too early in Game 1. There is no way the Lakers other players can shoot like they did in the first quarter of game one for an entire game.

    no one can shutdown shaq & kobe at the same time. it's impossible. when you play the lakers you have to choose your poison when it comes to those 2. and if the other players are hitting shots the lakers are going to blow anyone out. the t-wolves need KG to have a monster game and score 50+ or they need shaq or kobe to get into serious foul trouble if they stand a chance.

    Stop was a bad way of saying it. I should have said contain. SHaq and Kobe will get 20 points but the Wolves need to keep them both in that range. They also need to not put Wally on Kobe on defense as Wally was too tired for offense.


    Yes, KG needs to have a huge game.

    the t-wolves are on fire to start the game. so far the t-wolves are trying to get the ball out of Kobe's hands by double teaming him at halfcourt, but Shaq is cherry picking. troy hudson is off to a quick start, but we will see if the t-wolves can maintain this pace.

    well flip had a great game plan and his players executed it to perfection. but i don't think we will see hudson dropping 30 again. Lakers got the 1 game they wanted and now it's time to take care of their homecourt.

    What a masterful gameplan laid out by Flip Saunders. It worked like a charm, the Lakers were never able to get comfortable in a half court set. Props.

    Troy Hudson doesnt have to score 30 a game. what he does have to do is dish out the assists like he did tonight. KG has hit his stride big time and if he and the point guards can keep get good looks for eachother and the other guys, its anyones series

    Man, I'm so mad that I don't get TNT. I would have enjoyed a Lakers beatdown. One more day, then I'm done with classes and will have TNT.

    THe Lakers Suck

    I do give them credit for winning three in a row but they will never be as good as the bulls back when they had michael jordan and scottie pippen. the T-wolves are going to blow them away. game one was a fluke it is going to be a sweep by the wolves from here out. they just needed to get the confidence.

    :thumbsdown: THE LAKERS SUCK :thumbsdown:
