They double Luka and give up a 3. What is Finch doing? Keep switching and let the Lakers play ISO ball.

Shouldn’t even count as a bench scoring cuz it’s probably DFS who has basically played the whole game

Wolves play great man defense for 5 minutes and then randomly decide to go zone. Gotta be smarter than that.

Why would you leave Rui open from 3 to go guard Lebron from 3 instead?

We play way better when the ball moves. JJ keeps giving it to Doncic to handle the ball for 24 seconds is terrible to watch. No idea why we keep doing that.
Raul
“The other day I saw one of his games. He was running with the ball at a hundred per cent full speed, I don’t know how many touches he took, maybe five or six, but the ball was glued to his foot. It’s practically impossible.”

They have to stop switching so easily and immediately looking to double Luka, he is absolutely picking them apart

Laker bench did nothing, if the Wolves bench showed up this would be over. For the rest of the series the Wolves bench has to really come to play because they have a huge advantage but having been playing like it.
When luck shuts the door skill comes in through the window.

These are just damn excuses to rid fault on LeBron losing to keep the "LeBron has no help" narrative alive. Lakers are a talented team. Like wtf.Handlez wrote:Pelinka better get to work in offseason.
Lakers are least talented team in league past their first 3 guys.
