Wrong. Experience can go a long way against the Lakers, instead they get a team that has never been this deep in the playoffs. Ignore it if you like, but it DOES matter.

Tone it down, sport. Neither of us can prove his opinion, so be courteous.

The Kings have experience losing big games, but that's about it. Unless I'm overlooking someone, their only key player who has been to the Finals is Divac. The Wolves have both Cassell and Sprewell (not to mention Oliver Miller, LOL). They haven't been deep in the playoffs as part of the same team, but so what? Neither have Malone and Payton with the Lakers.

My name's not sport, chief.

I knew the word wrong would make you post something like that.

Stojakovic shot only 39.2% in the playoffs (which includes playing the defenseless Mavs). This is a guy who averaged 48% from the field and 43.3% for three over the whole season. If he has even a modestly good series, the Kings would have won. Another guy who was ineffective was Doug Christie who hit only 37.9% for the playoffs after shooting 46.1% during the season.

We can rag on Webber, but he was a lot better in the playoffs than during the season.

The Kings proved they actually can play good defense when they put their mind to it. But their offense was completely shut down by the Wolves.
