Anyone else think the Grizzles new Bear logo looks dumb?It looks fucking gay to me, to be perfectly honest

Does it look like Yogi?

Lakers might actually be a better match up for the Pistons/Pacers than the Wolves anyway. Shaq has no mid range game, Karl is looking ready to break down, which leaves Kobe and the Glove. Having said that the championship will stay in the West.

I need to see this new logo on a jersey first. I didn't really have a problem with the old uniforms.

[EWRFan]

Damn....I hate it when the Wolves are so close to tying the game and suddenly they miss the key shots.They need to revert to their defensive supremacy in game 2 if they hope to win game 4.

[naiwf]

The Wolves only won game 2 because LA didn't come to play. Kobe's in court tomorrow, so expect the Lakers to win, and finish the series in 5 or 6.

If Minny doesn't win tomorrow, the series is O-VAH! [/stephen A. Smith]

As Doc Rivers said.....it's time for people to give other teams some credit. The Lakers can be beaten. A lot of the time when teams lose it is because they didn't come out to play and didn't put the effort. That doesn't count as an excuse. I don't see you saying that about other teams. Your personal bias should stop at a certain point when discussing sports.

The thing is sayhder, if you watched the game, LA didn't come to play. They do that a lot. Sometimes the other team plays well enough to catch them napping, sometimes they don't.

Minnesota will not win in Staples.

I don't like the Lakers, but it was obvious that their effort in game 2 was non existent. They got the split they needed and phoned it in. They didn't play all that hard last night either and still won pretty easily. They WILL play tomorrow since they know a 3-1 lead will break the T-Wolves' spirit, while a 2-2 tie might give them hope.

The Lakers are one of those teams that are easy to hate because they can win with a half assed effort while the other three squads still around need to play balls to the wall to win single games.

That Grizzlies logo is terrible.

[thuganomic]

Lakers will win.....Minnesota doesn't even stand a chance. Gary Payton even chipped in 14 in the 1st quarter last time.

I just want to see Payton and Malone get their rings, and then have the Laker dynasty fall apart.

[Guest Hit Man 3120]

Who else can see Indy fall apart at the seems? They look ready to just snap. Game 4 is Friday!

[DMN in the House]

Congrats, you'll get to do the job to Triple L... I mean, The Lake Show

[Guest bukkake bandit]

God I hope the Pacers win.

[thuganomic]

I want the Pistons to win. The Pacers have just not deserved to win. Their shooting has been god-awful, and I would credit most of that to the Pistons' great D, but the Pacers have been missing tons of open shots.

tsk tsk tsk

[Guest bukkake bandit]

Yeah. They need to pick it up if they have any chance in hell of winning. I'm not a fan of theirs because Jermaine O'Neal has such a big mouth, but I dislike the Pistons a lot more. Always have, being a Nets fan and all.

The Pistons don't appear as though they're playing well either. The Pacers were god awful last night and the game was very close until the end. The only consistent player on the Pistons thus far in the series is Rip Hamilton. ...offense-wise.

[Guest Hit Man 3120]

The Pacers are not winning anything when Ron Artest is 15 for 57 in the series

[Karizma]

See ya T'Wolves, thanks for coming.

Kobe KILLS them in the third quarter, scoring 18 points, finishing the game with 31.

Garnett had a wicked game, 28-13-9, Malone had a good game too, 12-11-8, Shaq got 19-19, but Cassell not playing hurt the T'Wolves, seeing as Martin didn't fill the gap like he has been, and Sprewell, 4-18 and only getting 12 points, without a second scorer, this might as well be Twolves of years past.

Sorry Garnett, maybe next year, huh?

Pistons in 6, as Ron Artest is playing crap, which means still no ring for Reggie.

[naiwf]

LA's gonna end up with home court for the Finals since the Pacers seem content with choking away another postseason. Detroit might actually test the Lakers for a game or two, but their lack of scoring ability in the half court will give Shaq & Kobe ring # 4.

Does anyone think Minnesota will make it back to Hollywood this season? I don't, personally I expect a double digit loss on Saturday night.

[Guest The Man They Call Puke]

My initial prediction looks very likely at this point, Lakers in 5. Cassell being hurt just clinched it even more for the Lakers.

[naiwf]

Big win for the Pacers tonight. I hope O'Neal's knee isn't damaged since that was a gruesome landing. It looked like the kind of blow that would easily tear an ACL or MCL, but I'm guessing they would have been able to know that when they checked him out.
