Lakers 132, Timberwolves 119: Links n’ Thoughts

It’s not often a 16 win team can generate a case of the willies, but there were reasons to feel a hint of nervousness heading into Friday night’s game in Minneapolis. After all, the Lakers were kicking off a long road trip, the Timberwolves have enjoyed a bountiful January, and Trevor Ariza was fighting the effects of a concussion. As it turns out, there wasn’t much to worry about. The Lakers got off to a quick start then used a big third quarter en route to a 132-119 win. It was another great night for Andrew Bynum, who ripped off…

He also recently conducted an amusing Dodger interview with Manny Ramirez and Angel Berroa. Patrick, BK and I discuss matters ranging from Pau Gasol’s All-Star worthiness, which Laker is the best post-game interview and my brother’s inability to remember days of the week. In terms of the…

On the road again, and again, and again

Before Tuesday night’s game against the Bobcats, Andy and I did a quick hit for 710’s new Lakers Insider show and I was asked if I thought the Lakers could gain the #1 seed through the postseason. "Yes," I said, and threw out "fifty-fifty" for odds, not a bad figure considering it’s a four horse race. I could still be right, but I don’t know if Vegas would lay the same numbers I did.
