    That game was just a sign that the Lakers can be beat. I'm not saying the Wolves are going to win the series, but the Lakers should step it up a it if they want to win.

    i wouldnt say theyre STACKED against the lakers. i cant seem to find an expert who hasnt picked them to win it all again. even know its hard to favor the wolves to win 2 out of 4 games against them. and after game three its very clear that the refs desperatley want the lakers to win. I dont think games can be won and lost soley because of officiating but a lot of people seem to think that was somewhat of a disgrace

    Good luck!

    I have to say that I have been a twolves fan for the great majority of my life. When the game was scheduled for that late at night i almost missed it. Instead of sleeping in order to be ready for school i stayed up and watched the game. I AM SOOOO GLAD I DID THAT! The Twolves proved that they are not just a one man team. We can beat the Lakers. Good Luck Lafers....you obviously need it. [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

    when i said the odds are stacked i wasn't talking about the t'wolves. i was talking about the kings with their great additions in keon clark and jimmy jackson, as well as the spurs with their role players stephen jackson and ginobili. the lakers did not do a thing in the offseason to bolster the lineup...instead we've counted on our current players to improve and the chemistry to overcome everything else.

    as for the t'wolves, flip saunders is doing an outstanding job jacking up the lakers rhythm. the lakers have to step up a couple notches.

    as for the refs, they are en external force that you just can't change. the winning team must find a way to win, regardless of the refs. with that said, props to the t'wolves' game 3 victory.
