Minnesota has to play at Denver tonight. We are catching them on a second game of a back-to-back. _________________ Nobody in the NBA can touch the Laker brand, which, like the uniform color, is pure gold. |

So if Minnesota loses against Denver and the Lakers win tomorrow that would knock the Wolves out of the playoffs |

If the Lakers get similar performances from last night vs. Spurs from Kuz, KCP, Ennis, Zubac and Frye they probably win this one. |

They are in a tense battle with the Nuggets right now. Would be cool if they lose tonight, then we bury them manana. |

Wiggins just a token player in the crunch. Not sure he's going to be worth his contract. |

If Minny wins, there is an increased chance that OKC will miss the playoff, right? |

tired of losing for lottery chances, so we try for he win. F PG if he won't come because he'll stay on a team barely qualifying for the playoffs |

This is going to be a tough one. We are still banged up and Minny is fighting for its playoff life.
If we bring our A game and the crowd is lively we have a shot.
GO LAKERS!! |

Quote: | Walton told reporters that he isn’t expecting to have either Ball or Ingram in the lineup for the remainder of the year, via Via Spectrum SportsNet:
“Would we like to get Lonzo and Brandon back? Yes, we would like to, but we plan on not having them. We plan on having the guys that are in the locker room.
We’ll probably get some of our G League guys back, being at home again. If we get them back, that’s great. If not, we’re going to keep preparing with these guys,” Walton said.” |
