I love KG, but there wasn't a single good basketball related take in that entire video.
That was like watching Billy Madison talk about the industrial revolution.

I'm ready. Got good rest, few birdies ( at least one)... Go Wolves!

[Calinks]

The Lakers marketing machine is going strong, so much talk and focus on Luka and how amazing his deep playoff run will be. We have a shot at blowing that all up, get the win tonight and it will be a major statement!

"Luka likes to play the Timberwolves."

Luka wasn't even .500 against the Timberwolves the last 4 season besides the WCF last year. KAT was 3-22 from 3 in games one through three that series. ANT was worn out from a very emotional and physical series against the Nuggets. Yeah, i would love to play a team that has one of their All-Stars shoot about 13% from 3 when he's been a career 40% shooter also.

This LAL team is SOOOO overrated. We haven't been as good this year I agree, but our record the last 42 games this year was better than it was in the last 42 last season. This was with DDV missing 19 games, Randle missing 13 games and Rudy missing 9 games. We will win AT LEAST one game in LA to start the series. This Wolves team will not win the Championship....but they have a great chance to get to the WCF again this season.

So it appears Grady is working the Ind v Mil game right now. So I'm assuming Marnie will be on tonight with Jim...

I don't think they call it locally. It's just national

I would be satisfied with the season if the wolves beat the Lakers then lost in the second round

You're right, I missed that.

I think the Lakers only chance to win is to get our guys into foul trouble. Watch Reaves, James and Doncic flail as they run into or by our guys. Free throw disparity just might take us down. We are the deeper and more talented team, but 5 vs 8 is a tough way to win.

ANT was worn out from a very emotional and physical series against the Nuggets..

So true. I’d forgotten just how big the difference was after his dangerous fall in Game 6 vs DEN.

He was FG 53.5% for all the playoff games through that one, and after the fall, he was FG 43.0%!

Julius is playing for millions of dollars in his next contract. Also naw and Naz.

Got to presume these guys are going to bring it.

Exploit Lukas lack of athleticism, and rotate our depth. Make all of lal work, and eventually wear them down. Rebound.

I go back and forth from us destroying, or it going down to game 7. Latter is where im leaning right now.

Don't necessarily think we HAVE to win the game tonight.

[minimus]

MIN are bigger and younger, LAL are smarter. Perfect drama

[Loaf_of_bread]

Stick to the fundamentals and play to your potential.. shock the world.

[Nick K]

For us to win Jaden McDaniel has to score and be involved. NAW and Reid have to step up. If they do we have a good shot to win. We have to take Luka away from them. I'd double him every chance and have someone else beat me.

I'm afraid the calls won't go our way. We'll see.

Who's everyone's pick to click? Mine is...
NAZ

[Baseline81]

Towns is balling. Randle better show up...

[Loaf_of_bread]

Who's everyone's pick to click? Mine is...
NAZ

Is that a betting thing, or just who you think will play well?
