I agree. The Wolves were playing so dirty and not getting called for anything. Worst reffing so far this playoffs: Lakers getting charges when feet are clearly in the arch, Malone gets ejected for nothing....
What everyone needs to understand is the NBA is run like a business. If the lakers sweep, its bad for business so from time to time a team has to lay down, which is exactly what happened in game two. My guess is the NBA wants this series to go 6 games. That way both teams get their 3 games at home(Huge money). TNT gets their 6 full games to sell add spots(even bigger money), and everyone is happy. Plus the fact Garrnet won the MVP this year shows, the NBA wants to give KG some exposure. Tonight lakers should win going away, Thurs will be a closer game...
Even though I can't stand the Lakers, for many reasons
(1)broke my teams heart, sacramento 2) everyone and their mother, regardless if they even live in CA, support lakers and wears a Kobe Rapist jersey, fucking sheep ; 3) even the nba's own commissioner David Stern publicly says I want lakers to win, can we say fixed?
but regardless, when you piss off Lakers, they come back and RAPE you, even if kobes on fire or not, lol.. So all the minnesota fans should be scurred, very scurred, they kicked the beehive, so they better be ready.
Also keep in mind last years NBA finals, (Spurs VS.Nets) drew the worst ratings in 10 years. What's going to get people watching is a Lakers, Detroit series, and the amount of money on the line is staggering, so of course its fixed.

You are right ... already in game 1 I had the feeling the league wanted the Lakers to lose ... it's obvious more games = more money.
