I thought the same TEX. In fact, I am thinking the Lakers had better bring their A-game for both games at the Staples Center, or the T-wolves just might steal the home court back from them.

I HOPE you're right, but I'd like their chances much better with a healthy Sam Cassell.

Doesn't really matter to me. I am a Laker fan from back in the West/Baylor/Chamberlin days. As far as my new favorite teams go, the T-wolves are pretty high on my list. So, old time seniment goes with the Lakers, but I wouldn't mind seeing the T-wolves win either.

Right now, I am watching the East series. The Pistons have a 4 point lead with about 5:00 to go in the game. If the Pacers give up home court, I have a feeling the Pistons will be the winner of the East.

I hear ya. As for me, I'm a Rockets fan that goes back to the days of Moses Malone/Calvin Murphey/Rudy T (Yes I was watching the Lakers/Rockets when Washington punched Rudy - OUCH!) Anyway, if my favorite team gets knocked out of the playoffs, I usually pick another team to follow for the rest of the playoffs. This year that was the Spurs, but they lost too. So, now it's the Wolves. There is just no way I could ever pull for the Lakers in any scenario. As a matter of fact, if the Lakers get past the Wolves, I'll actually pull for the Eastern Conference. But I really don't care as it's just something to do. To me, basketball has lost something. Way too many punks and thugs and way to much of a loss in fundimentals. Just my take on things.
