This looks like a automatic loss, the wolves are playing good and the Laker players are whining about getting the triangle back....

we are indeed falling apart and it would suck if we stand pat and have to witness this train-wreck for 6-7 more weeks until we get swept in the 1st round.

Weird feeling we win next two and everyone credits player meeting when in fact it will most likely be because of defense and shot selection

Lakers are winless on the road this year with writer/blogger Ramona Shelburne tagging along (yeah it's her fault Steve Mason

). Hope the streak stops here. Go Lakers.

Rubio vs. Fisher tonight.

Rubio: 22 points, 16 assists, 5 steals, 1 turnover. 7-9 FG, 5-5 FT. +11

Fisher: 1 point, 3 assists, 1 rebound, 1 steal, 5 turnovers. 29 minutes. 0-8 FG, 1-2 FT. -9

Lakers will still somehow win though. Kobe will have 30-35 points, and one of the 2, Bynum or Gasol will have a big game. I'd guess probably Bynum. For some reason, I see Metta and/or Barnes having a big night too.

I have a feeling Kobe will go fire in the first half then let the bigs dominate 3rd quarter and seal the game in the 4th, but it's going to be close since the Wolves are confident with the win against the Clips but they are easily beatable, we've had easy games vs Wolves this season with Kobe getting 35 and 14 reb and also 33 last week so I think we're good tonight.

This game feels so meaningless with the Pau rumor.

It'll be interesting to see who plays tonight with all of the rumors.

The Timberwolves are doing a "white out" tonight for the Lakers game: http://pic.twitter.com/JvOAwfs5

BTW title has the wrong date (8 instead of 9)

I think we come back with a vengeance tonight. Game won't be close. Lakers coast

I'm kind of curious who will be starting for lakers this game. If there are any late scratches.

I'm glad I avoided LG during the Detroit meltdown and glad I was at work for the Wizards (bleep).
Edit: We win tonight, but today will be especially hard knowing the coach across the scorer's table could have been had probably for a million more per year and resulted in 5-8 more wins.
Watching the James Worthy reactions to the game have been awesome, too bad he has no pull in the organization cause if he did. . . Mr. Potato Head would be cooked

Kevin Love is doubtful with back spasms.
