Wolves have to decide what they’re going to be willing to live with regarding Luka. You can’t let him score and assist. Pick one

Transition defense also needs to tighten up

Julius Randle is trying his best, but I feel like Anthony Edwards needs to attack WAY more for Minnesota to have a shot.

You won’t win any playoff series with Randle as the main guy. Tired of watching him ball pound this game.

What a depressing performance. LA isn't playing all that hot, we didn't show up

The book on Luka is already out there.

Make him score everything and go at him on defense relentlessly

You should get 15 challenges if you're playing the Lakers

Dante and Naz can't play much worse.

We've got some things to clean up on both end of the floor going forward.
We've had really bad homecourt mojo this year but maybe the playoffs will be different.

If we don't make a move here we're gonna see Luka Garza tonight.

This is a very beatable Lakers team but we are also our own worst enemy sometimes too.

3 quarters in and we have a total of 10 assists (Ant with zero).

That's not a winning formula.


The good news is that we only have 7 turnovers.

It's all part of the plan. :D
If we pull it out I'm taking all the credit.

NAW is continuing his playoff shooting from last year.
