Watching the game right now and the Wolves are absolutely overmatched. Their defense is horrible and almost every player is living off of Kevin Garnett.

Wally S has got to be one of the most overrated and overpaid players he is a product of Kevin Garnett's all-around game.

When Mark Madsen is posting up and going in for the jam you know the Wolves will lose.

I don't know why they aren't putting Mark Jackson on Shaq. He is the only Wolves player who has some beef but seriously their strongest player is probably Kevin Garnett and that's pathetic.

Shaq just flattened Rod Strickland.

PS: Did Garnett scream ''Oh ****'' when he saw Shaq coming right at him at the beginning of the first when he banged his knee?

39-22 with 40sec to go in the first.

Garnett is the most over-rated player in Basketball. No way in hell I would trade Amare for him.

You are either joking or not thinking straight. There isn't a team in the NBA that could do anything against Lakers when there "other" players are making all of their shots. Kobe Bryant has made his way into the paint a little too easily, but he's also making everything from outside. It looks to me like he is trying to top Tracy McGrady's performance from earlier today.

Will anybody care if I assassinated Bill Walton?

I would really love to see how overrated Kevin Garnett would be if he was playing on the same team as Kobe Bryant or Shawn Marion and Stephon Marbury. If anything KG gets underrated because his teams have not made it out of the first round.

The Wolves really play defense like a bunch of rookies except Garnett.

On one play Kobe rebounds his own 3pt miss and easily gets into the paint so Rasho leaves Shaq under the basket to challenge Kobe. Of course he went up like a girl hardly had any elevation and should know that he ain't going to block Kobe anyway and that Kobe will find Shaq if he is all alone under the rim.

The Lakers get away with a lot of contact but the Wolves are not even trying to be physical.

Has Shaquille O'Neal even come out of the paint on defense? For the life of me I can't understand why NBA teams don't point that kind of thing out more often.

Finally the Wolves accept the physical play and got away with some bad calls as well.

KG doing a good job on stopping Kobe in the paint.

I won't mind. Actually you could setup a PayPal account and we could all contribute to you for taking him out. ;)
