Go Wolves!

At least it won't be a sweep. If Minnesota fouls O'Neal whenever he touches the ball, the Laker offense really stalls. Let's hope they can keep it going!

Malone is such a punk bitch - the thing that's really gonna upset when the Lakers win a title is that SOB getting a ring - and Gary Payton - that's guy's such a piece of trash.

I've never been a big Malone hater, but I admit that my opinion of him has suffered during these playoffs. He hasn't seemed like a very good sport, and he's playing terribly. Before getting hurt in the regular season, he was very effective, but now it looks like he really will be riding the Kobe/Shaq cottails rather than making a meaningful contribution.

Kill the Lakers......Gary and Malone don't deserve a championship....What have they done this year?

Besides keeping the tabloids busy?

As Dan Majerle said, Karl likes to pick on the little guys--with the big guys, he waits until they jump, then slides under their feet. It will be annoying to see him win the title this year.


I loved his play in the clutch tonight, though. Let's see:

--passed up open jumpers down the stretch
--when he was forced to shoot one with the clock running down, he airballed it
--jumped up to pass after an O-rebound fell into his lap, then came down and travelled after Devean George bumped him
--picked up a cheap flagrant-2 after the outcome was decided.



That knee to Hoiberg was all class, as well...

How did those referees give Wally a foul on that play where he and Gary Payton ended up getting technicals? Derek Fisher seemingly ran right into him. It looked like Fisher was trying to set a pick or something, but he was trying to do it like a wide receiver blocking a cornerback. He ran after Wally, ran into him, and flopped.

How did Derek Fisher pick up a foul when he ran into Sprewell's screen?

I also agree, Malone is fkn punk. Picks the smallest guy out there and goes head hunting. What a big man he is.
