The NBA regular season continues as the Lakers challenge the Timberwolves back-to-back. The Lakers have lost four of their last five games since winning the midseason title, and even sent warmth to the Spurs, ending an 18-game losing streak and losing to the Bulls, who are significantly weaker than themselves. James' recent form has really not been good, and the plus/minus team is at the bottom. However, for the team's midseason championship, James and thick eyebrows did consume a lot, and the Lakers' recent trade rumors have also revolved around Reaves and Ravencaruso and others, but the current Lakers will not give up Reaves.

The Twin Towers have worked well together, the rest of the team has been able to help defensively, and Edwards has played superstardom. However, yesterday in the face of the 76ers, Embiid scored 51 points to blow up the Timberwolves' interior line, and the team's home record of 11-1 is still terrifying, and if this state continues, the Timberwolves are likely to enter the playoffs as the top three in the West.
