Yeah Nico, no idea why Mavs would be SO upset that you traded Luka. So hard to figure out.

What’s our collective overreaction after the first quarter? That the Lakers are legit contenders? LOL

He cant sustain this intensity.
He's not having to do much on offense at least.

Ugly 1st quarter for Wolves again.

Much harder to come by when LA isn't sending 4 guys to help on Ant drives. Such a bad gameplan last game and executed with no effort to boot

Luka is a playoff monster.
Jokic 31/21/22
Luka & Oscar = 5 x 27/8/8
The Brodie = All-out energy

Same thoughts, they look lifeless. Being content with 1 game is nuts considering they went 0-3 at Target in the WCF last year.

Bad first quarter for the Wolves. They gotta wake up.

That was a block on Vincent a play ago. He was moving after DDV gathered.

Julius Randle is just such a poor playoff performer. He really just doesn't much of anything when it matters the most.

If he lets Luka and AR handle most of the offense I don't see why he can't keep up his defensive intensity.
