Huh? What's this? A full-fledged game thread?? Nice job B34C, too bad it won't save the team from the inevitable.

 

[HallOfFamer]

Twolves have won their last 4. This game is just the start of another losing streak.:boohoo:

I'm telling ya it's a start of a new beginning!! Raise up Laker fans & unite!

 

[socco]

Lose damnit!









Please
:gopray:

 

[Tyrellaphonte]

where's odom?

 

[PauloCatarino]

I'm telling ya it's a start of a new beginning!! Raise up Laker fans & unite!

Hell Yeah! :rock:

Lakers by 4.

Kobe with 52.

 

[Lynx]

My Prediction!

Wolves 101 vs Lakers 110

Lakers by 9

Kobe with triple-double.

 

[Bobot]

Odom will be a game time decision today but even if he does play I doubt the lakers will be able to beat the T-Wolves as they have been on a bit of a hot streak.

Prediction:

T-Wolves 98
Lakers 89

 

[underhill_101]

Kobe with triple-double.

hopefully he can get a triple double... its been a long time since hes had one

 

[madskillz1_99]

Lakers will definitely win. Why? I don't know, but they just will, they're weird like that. Book it.

 

[jazzy1]

What is Hamblen doing. Kobe has sat over half the 2nd quarter. Frank is an idiot.

I'm liking George though. We've missed him this season. He might have really developed had he been playing. Butler is killing me. Jacking up shot after shot. and Luke Walton is worthless.

 

[jazzy1]

And they blame Kobe for this sorta crap. Yeah Okay. Terrible basketball.

 

[Damian Necronamous]

Chucky, YOU ****ING SUCK!!!!! How many open threes did he miss, like ten? :curse: We would be up by double digits and Kobe would have like 554048562 assists if he had made the shots he should have.

And then he goes and laughs about it...AHA HA HA HA HA HA HA! Yeah, real funny Chuck! Laugh it up buddy, we're losing! Idiot.

And we got gyped by the refs on another dreadful call. How the hell is it that every damn game, the refs miss a call to our disadvantage that is RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM? Garnett clearly hit the ball out of bounds, but the Timberwolves got the ball back. BS. We've been screwed like that this season more than any other.

well what do u want this team knows that the season is over...its ok

 

[Hov]

If Chucky complains about Kobe shooting too much ever again, I'll keel HIM!

Kenny was right.. Them (Atkins and Kobe) laughing about those missed shots show that they've pretty much given up already (but I don't blame them).

Good call, Frank is quite possibly the worst coach since, well... ANYONE!

 

[Damian Necronamous]

God this is terrible. They don't even care that they suck. The defensive effort is pathetic. There is none. The Timberwolves have scored like 20 straight times down the court.

We can't even make one ****ing lay-up.

 

[Brian34Cook]

This is amazing.. I put more effort in my game thread than the Lakers have the last 10 games..

 

[Damian Necronamous]

Brian Grant is terrible. Anybody else notice that we started getting our asses whooped as soon as he stepped on the court. He just doesn't play defense and he is a waste of space on offense. RELEASE HIM!!!!

It would be better to absorb his contract than to have this loser on the team.

Down by 13...wow...losing 9 out of 10 is something that would even be low for New Orleans, Charlotte or the Hawks.
