LAKERS vs TIMBERWOLVES (PRE-GAME REPORT)

The Lakers start out their 6 game road trip starting with the Minnesota Timberwolves and will end with Boston on Thursday, and Cavaliers on Sunday. Before we start reminiscing about the Christmas game and how we beat the Celtics. We've got a game tonight and it shouldn't go unnoticed.

The T-Wolves started off the new year winning 10 of their 13 games in January, turning a team around whose record at the beginning of the season was 6 wins and 25 losses. The person to thank for that is Center, Al Jefferson who's playing his mind out this year avaeraging 23pts and 11rebs. They've also got shooter Mike Miller and Rookie Kevin Love. And with other sleeper players, this team can just sneak up and win on you. But of course they weren't able to sneak up on the Lakers when they last played.

The Lakers just took a horrible loss to the Bobcats before entering this road trip. Frustration over that game should fire up the Lakers, most importantly, Kobe. Pau had a terrible game, and I expect him to pick things up after playing so poorly, that's just the man's style. Bynum, well what can I say, the man is a beast. Game plan is the same for evry team we play, and all the Lakers got to do is FEED IT INSIDE! If you can't get it inside, then swing the ball, the other big guy is bound to be open. There's a reson we put two 7-footers out there, USE IT!

Last time the Lakers were outrebounded 53-46. Which gave the T-Wolves a chance in the game. So yeah, FEED IT INSIDE and CRASH BOARDS! They should come out with a win after tonight, I don't see them losing unless they decide to have yet another horrible game, which I doubt.
