The Los Angeles Lakers wrapped up the Western Conference against the Minniesota Timberwolves in a 97-88 victory at the Target Center Arena.
With what many believe was going to be a easy accomplishedment by the Lakers, turned to be a never ending trail of when the team was going to claim the conference of their own.
This year the Lakers have been riding a roller coaster that has no direction to guide it; the team has had its share of injuries, bad games and more bad games, but with the NBA playoffs starting on April 18, Los Angeles has some issues to take care of.
The on going unconsistant contributation by the Lakers' bench and the long minutes the starters have had all season, many believe the Lakers doesn't have what it takes to win the championship again this year.
On the other hand, the team has all the players (minus Trevor Ariza and the addition of Ron Artest) to make a strong run for another NBA championship.
The Lakers are either going to shut up the critics come playoff time, or just make the critics feel proud of themselves once they are able to say, "I told you so."
The Lakers are unpredictable, but if they are just crusing towards the postseason, then they are doing a good job keeping everyone on their each of their seats to see what's on the next episode of Lakersland.
