Reading about the Lakers the next few days is just the salve I need for my wounds

Minny is really good. They might go all the way. As good as any of the teams left.

Has a team shot so poorly and won a playoff game before?

Was he? He put us in a 24 pt hole in the 4th by playing the stupid jumbo lineups in the 1st place. We just got extraordinary returns from the alternative, instead of the ordinary ones where they were a moderate positive, like against the Pacers.

It will tell you how narratives can change. Because before, Randle sucked, was never good in the playoffs, & gummed things up for them. And that would lead to their demise.

But it hasn't so far. They have better on ball creativity. They have better match-up bodies. Are probably more live in match-ups as a result until the end, unlike being dead in the water in the conference finals.

Pat could have done that, but Doc isn't for utilizing guys situationally. You're alive or dead to him.

Wonderful nightcap. Bye bye Lakers.

Really like this T-Wolves team. Rooting for them the rest of the way.

Are we sure Luka wants to be LA? They could suck year and he has a player option.

Doesn’t matter when you gobble up every rebound.

Papa Halliburton has nothing on the Wolves Twitter account. It’s an amazing set of troll posts.

No we're not sure but it's LA so we'll never hear that narrative.

Love to see it. The NBA media can finally talk about the young West teams instead of talking about LeBron every three seconds.

Be interesting to see how LA fills out the roster for next season. They have some pieces but really only one good one in Reaves who kinda **** the bed this series. Be interesting if they do smaller moves or try and make a splash with Reaves and hope someone like Knecht could fill that role to some extent now that Luka's there.
