the lakers cried wolf..

| uh shaq, youd be better off tuckin in that jersey than tryin to block da kid.. |
yeah, theyll probly not win the series (although i now think they have as good a shot as sacramento or san antonio). but they proved two important things tonite:
1) the timberwolves are makin their first step to the next level - this series reminds me of the kings-jazz one in '99 when sacramento pushed utah to the brink. a team w/ little expectation to win just beat the lakers TWO games in a row!! and they beat em on the ROAD!! this could be the beginnin..
2) the lakers are vulnerable - wutever did not work in the regular season, dr phil tried to sweep under the rug goin into the playoffs. yet its clear the defendin champs are lackin things they had in previous years. their defense is porous (the twolves shot +50% these last two games), they sorely lack a competent PF to play next to or back up shaq (mark madsen?? pleeze), and they have no "moxie" (as phil likes to say)--the confidence and determination to win when theyre down by 15 has been replaced w/ arrogance and conceit..
this may be it--theyre goin down..
