We've owned the Timberwolves the past few seasons but they look good so far. I still think we can win the game. Rubio isn't a point guard that looks to score, so I don't see him torching Nash or Blake. He'll have an impact but I'd rather go against a guard like Rubio than one that looks to score.
Pau needs to man up and turn in a solid performance.
Lakers - 99
Wolves - 96

| Ireland said on Friday that we have a 22 game winning streak against the Wolves, which is the longest active streak in the NBA today. Pretty cool. |

I think they're good enough to finally end that streak but I think it will happen in Minnesota, not here. |

Yes, Kevin Love will likely get his. It's the other Kevin (Martin) that will make or break this game. He's averaging 23 ppg and has been on fire from downtown. Shooting 56% from 3-point land. |

If Blake guarding him expect that to continue he loves to leave 3 point shooters open. |

Lakers are going to win this one. This team is Jekyll and Hyde, and tonight it's Mr. Hyde's turn.
Lakers 102

| Worried about this game in the same way I was worried about the Pelicans. Before this year, no matter how bad we were, you could always count on some teams to give you wins, like New Orleans or Minnesota (especially at home)...Not that way anymore. I don't know who the bottom-feeders are right now. |

Based on our record we are a below average team right now.

tonight game will be fun and a tough matchup with the Twolves...
Kevin Love and Kevin Martin will probably shoot the lights out from 3 point land. And Pekovic will probably abuse Gasol or Kaman or any of the lakers bigs.
Hopefully the lakers can play consistent enough to win, otherwise it will be a loss. |
