Basketball: Wolves Vs. Lakers

It appears he isn't going to play -
Cassell out story
If Minnesota can win thois one without him, then I see them winning it all. This one game may very well decide the champion this year.

Without Cassell? At LA? I think they're going to lose by 20.

well the t wolves are only down by 2 at halftime

Lakers win! Who called it? That's right.

No, just kidding.

I was wrong actually. Props to the Wolves man. I thought they would get rolled this series but they pushed the Lakers to 6 even without Cassell. They played with a lot of heart this series.

With no Cassell, I thought they'd get blown away last night but they made the Lakers sweat there for a while. C'mon 4 fouls on Shaq early. You had to be liking Minnesota's chances then.

But as seems to be always the case these with these playoff games (in any sport really) it comes down to the unknown player. Derek Fisher last series. Kareem Rush and Slava Medvedenko this series. Stevie Kerr in last year's Western Conference Finals for the Spurs.

wolves just a tremoudous season all around

Now wait a second, Steve Kerr wasn't exactly an unknown last year...

he wasn't unknown but he didn't play more than about 20 total minutes in the playoffs last season before he came up big

Yeah what I mean by unknown is a guy you least expect to step up because he hasn't been in the regular rotation or whatever.

Ah, I mis-understood you, but Steve hit a lot of big shots in his career, just the same.
