I've been rooting against the Lakers all series, heck, all season, but they just always come up with the goods when they need it most. I think it was apparent after Game 4 that the Lakers were going to win this series. When you have a team down TWICE and they come back both times, that's a sign of the better team cranking things up a notch.
Remember when you were a kid, and you were playing some other guy on the blacktop? You were obviously so much better than the kid, but you were kinda loafing it. Before you knew it, you were down 9-5 (playing to 11) and you said, "Enough of this junk" and came back strongly, overpowering the kid. I think this is what happened with the Lakers on Sunday. They loaf so much, but I truly believe they are so much better than Minnesota that it really doesn't matter. Game 6 should be the finishing touches.
