LOGO WATCH LAKEshow w/PLAYBOOK...La PISTOLA, Russian SHVED, Montenegro's PEKOVIC, and D-WILL 10K Lakes Edition visit Staples PURPLE and GOLD, the BLACK MAMBA, make it NASHty, and "DWIGHT of Three Stripes" ....LAKERS need to win every game and T'WOLVES playing for Pride and 2013-14... #MINvsLAL #NBAonTNT

The Minnesota Timberwolves come into Staples with no Kevin Love aka the "Lake Oswego Monster" and a hard 20-34 W-L record that was expected to be higher. That word "expectations" can be the gift and the curse depending on how things turn out as you can ask the Lakeshow that one.

The Lakers come in two games under .500 and 2 1/2 games behind the #RedNation Rockets. Lakers Lead Man MDA and the Crew know that Time is of the essence and its draw a line in the sand or they will have two feet in the sand and an umbrella in their drinks.

PLAYBOOK

The Lakers are on the Clock and have been since first Top back in late October and Early November 2K12. The T'Wolves had expectations with a New Roster and one of the top Young Starts in the Logo Kevin Love. Fast Forward to Late February 2013 and all that is for not as both Teams find themselves in a position they never thought they would be in.

The Lakers Back Court will get tested tonight by PGs Luke Ridnour (12.2 ppg 4 assts), "La Pistola" PG Ricky Rubio (8 ppg 7 assts), and Russian Import Rookie Alexey Shved (10 ppg 4 assts). NASHty as well as the "BLAKEshow" Lakers Edition in PG Steve Blake and Chris Duhon will have to answer the call. Now who will get the "Kobe System" is a whole other animal. The Black Mamba should get Shved as well AK47...Andrei Kirilenko and possibly a little Derrick Williams. Lakers must limit the Wolves in Transition and keep their Peepers on "La Pistola" especially in the open Court.

In the Front court the Lakers with M.W.P., Dwight of Three Stripes, and the "Earl of Staples" will be challenged by Derrick Williams (10.5 ppg 5 rebs) who has been the Wolves leading scorer the last few games as well as Montenegro's Nikola Pekovic the Best Big in the Logo you haven't heard of. Pekovic leads the Wolves 16 ppg and 9 rebs and is former Washington Bullets PF and Iona University Coach Jeff Ruland. Strong at the point of Attack and almost impossible to move in the paint. Kirilienko has had a nice comeback year and is 2nd in scoring with just over 13 ppg and 6 rebs. He can still defend and and still athletic but not a quick and nifty as he once was.

This is a better than you think match up vs the Lakers and the theme for the LAKEshow in 2012-13 is to make everything interesting. Look for Kobe to be aggressive and you haven't heard that before but the T'Wolves are playing Prime Time with nothing to lose as this is their "Fight for Larry"...NBA Finals 2013.
