2025 NBA PLAYOFFS West First Round: #3 LA Lakers vs #6 Minnesota Timberwolves (MIN leads 3-1)

[Jurassic_Park]

Respect to Lebron for going 48 minutes and still playing both sides.

Truly GOAT

Lebrons special. Now please.. flop your way Luka style over to the real LA team, the clippers.

Lord. And you think Luka’s better than Jokic. Good luck to the Lakers the next 7-8 years with Luka.

Nuggets won yesterday because they built a 24 point lead. But basically the same thing happened. Not subbing for a whole half is just madness. there is a correlation between how bad the lakers played I'm the last 2 4th quarters and lack of rest.

[jscott]

Anyone got a still of that late foul on LeBron?

[_AIJ_]

Great game and the good guys win! Thank God!

Why does lebron never take the last shot…. i thought he’s supposedly clutch? Shouldn’t LA win these close games with him and luka?

celebrating with some of chicago’s finest pizza

He didn't have an offensively clutch game, but he gave it his all defensively. Is it really that inconceivable that a 40-year-old playing the entire second half and expending so much energy on one side of the floor can't dominate it on the other end as well?

[FrobeBryant]

I don’t wanna hear from the mouth breathing “NBA rigs it for Lakers crowd” again

You realise the Wolves had to challenge that call to get it right?

You’re talking about one play. I’m referring to the whole damn game where refs gave the Wolves all the love in the world. I just don’t want to hear that rigged bs again. It’s just stupidity as evidenced by today’s game.

[Archx]

I kinda see why Nico did what he did

Wolves whole game plan was to attack Luka

I guess you have no idea how good that Mavs team with Luka and Kyrie and a strong bench actually was. They had 2 rim protectors to play 48 mins and great wings with PJ/Grimes/Naji, etc... Just wild that anyone would think Nico did a good job with that trade.

[BigGargamel]

Lakers GM really got a contract extension for building a 3 man team. Unbelievable.

[Pacernation]

Vanderbilt and Vincent can't even give you 6 minutes in the 2nd half? What's JJs plan here? Even if they advance here, you wanna play Luka and James 44 minutes a game and expect any offensive output late in games?

[Soonercrazy84]

Sharpe taking a lot of huge life L’s these past few weeks. Maybe time to hang it up.

The Lakers in 5 over OKC was incredibly dumb.

Rob Pelinka going to have a long off-season to figure something out. I get this a wash season but he is really going have to prove he can build a team around the generational talent that he has. Can't have 6 dudes playing the whole game, it's a joke.

Takes years to build a roster. With Lebron on the books and Reaves getting a raise in a season and their lack of 1st round picks/young talent....this year might honestly be their best chance in the Lebron era, and its gonna take a couple years to build back after he retires.

I'm also skeptical they will build a roster better than Luka already had that was tailor fit to all his strengths & weaknesses in Dallas. Idk how he's going to do it.

Can’t wait for Timberwolves vs warriors. Edwards vs butler is gonna be great

[Statlanta]

Luka can barely get passed halfcourt without having to turn his back ...dude needs to take his conditioning sereiously. Part of me knows we beat this minny team without the Luka trade tbh but it is what it is. Feel bad for LeBron going down with this fat crybaby

I wonder how many Laker fans share the sentiment.

[KGdaBom]

Wolves going to the conference finals

Mcdaniels has been key

Wolves matchup so well with Warriors. Should be Wolves in 5.

Truly GOAT

GOAT’s don’t flame out in the first round when they have a top 3 player in the league trying to carry the team.

he doesn't not to get stripped, Magic did the same thing. fat cry baby played 40 + minutes.

[Pistol_Pete]

The fact that he can do that after playing alllll damn game is actually giving me a devoted MJ lover some questions about who has the goat horns

Lebron is undoubtedly amazing for his age, but that doesn't tip the scales in terms of greatest of all time. Pretty weird thing to say.

Wolves fan here. LeBron is without question the GOAT.

If you started watching basketball in 2005, probably.

[Tomhomes33]

If Jokic was there instead of Lebron Lakers would win. Wasting Luka’s prime

Incoming 2027

What does Jokic or the Clippers have to do with anything? Lame.
