Timberwolves versus Lakers Preview

VS

















I am going to go far beyond what other analysts are saying in picking the winner of this series. The "other places" basically are saying because the Lakers have Shaq and Minnesota doesn't the Lakers win the series. Well, KG is going to be nasty too. I believe his numbers will surpass the numbers posted by Shaq. I am picking Minnesota to win this series at home in game 7. Home court advantage will be important in this series, but both teams are capable of winning on the road. The key to this series in my mind will be the ability of Cassell and Sprewell to put points on the board. If they can combine for around 40-45 points a night they are going to be very tough to beat. I know the Lakers have Shaq and Kobe, but this year it hasn't gone very far past those two players. It all starts tomorrow night. This series should be great.
