T-Wolves would have had a chance if Martin drained those shots down the stretch. With the game clock running down, any open shot is a good shot. Besides Sprewell, they didn't have any crunch-time offensive spark and still managed to challenge the Lakers down the stretch.

i think the maloofs should trade webber, christie and bobby jackson for tmac.

brad miller is good power forward and peja went to crap when webber came back. he was eurobird when he was the focus of the offense.

hopefully it won't happen and the lakers will win back to back next year.

He was probably still shaken by that Karl Malone flagrant foul...incidentally the Lakers won by 11, Karl Malone scored 11. Guess the NBA commissioners plan to keep the Lakers in the final and totally ignoring Malone's cheap shots is still on target.

Have they done anything besides shoot free throws in the 4th quarter? This is just ridiculous. So boring to watch

you are one of the biggest lakers haters out there, bar none; and a kings fanboy to boot.

i won't argue that the lakers winning it all is good for business, but i feel malone's punishment was just. if malone was suspended, then sprewell should have as well for the hit he put on derek fisher. derek fisher was knocked down just as hard, if not harder, and yet they called a blocking foul on him. also, when several of the wolves players were asked about malone's flagrant, they said that they didn't think it was a nasty hit.

That's a gimme. Just by the name, we can conclude that he's a Kings fanboy. Since he's a Kings fanboy, he's a Laker hater. :)

The Kings should trade Webber. I like the idea of getting T-Mac (what someone said earlier).
C- Divac, PF - Miller, SF - Peja, SG - T-Mac, G - Bibby ... nice a bad starting 5.

it would be nice, except for vlade in the middle. there's no way at his age, that he can compete for 40 minutes a game. he's best used as a backup playing maybe 25-30 minutes a game. also, t-mac is a slight risk with his back problems.

edit: that songaila kid might not be a bad choice to split minutes with vlade though, he looked good in a couple of games against the wolves. he just needs to spend some time in the weight room.

Spree doesn't make a habit of taking players out....only coaches :)

GO LAKERS!!! I hate basketball, so the Lakers paying for an all-star team and winning everything every year is fine with me. The biggest reason I like the Lakers is because I love underdogs! Everyone in the bar last night was chearing for the Wolves, but not me!!! I'm not a conformistl :p
