Are the Lakers better than the Minnesota Timberwolves?

Interesting read. I think they are fooling themselves.

Crock of shit! Lakers are in for a shock this season. They wont make playoffs.

Well got to hand it to LA. They always believe. I think the real question is whether we will finally beat the Lakers this year? Somehow regardless of their lineup they defeat us. I think we will have a better record, but I would really like to finally have their number in the head to heads. It has been a long time since we have defeated them. They have a 22 game winning streak on us. It is no wonder they think they are better.

It is a poorly researched article. How can anyone feel qualified to breakdown two teams, when you don't even know the correct positions for some of the players. Is Gasol going to play PF and C at the same time? When did Dante Cunningham become a SG?

This guy skewed the facts at every turn in the lakers favor. He never questions Nash's defense, but goes right after Martin. Martin may be the worst defensive SG, but Nash is the worst defensive PG, while Rubio is likely one of the better ones. Rubio's shooting improved as the season went on, but no mention of any of these facts. Only the fantasy that Gasol, Kobe, and Nash will somehow return to their younger forms.

Lakers fans are the most dellusional in the league if not the world. Dear I say they are in for a rude awakening this year....
