I love this version of Lebron. I dont care about his offense. His defense is vital if we want to win this series. Be active on defense. Active on boards.

Luka has mastered the Pau Gasol method of just screaming bloody murder at the top of your lungs any time he feels contact to sell a call and it always works every time

Lakers defense have been tough, Wolves need an adjustment

This could be a quick night. Wolves could catch the 8:30 flight home.

It was the owners man. All this crap is smoke and mirrors. Nico went on slovenian TV not too long ago. Transcript.
Q: How much is Luka worth (as a human)?
NH: hiding from the camera and laughing I don't know if you can put a price tag on it, honestly, the value that he brings to the franchise, to the NBA, to this organisation, it's immesurable.
Q: Would you say that Luka changed the club to the better?
NH: Absolutely, look at what he has done to this team. He's such a dynamic player, he make everybody around him better, his marketablity.. like people from all over the world come to watch him play because of what he means to the NBA and basketball.
Q: Do you think you have a hard job because you have to make Luka Dončić an NBA champion? Or is that an honor to you that you will be able to make him one?
NH: It's both but I think it's an honor because I feel like we will be champions and it will be because of Luka. Q: Do you get some calls from players who want to play for Dallas because of Luka?
NH: All the time.
If he's lying here it means he's lying when it comes to everything else.
How much money would the Adelson's have to give him for him to take the blame and blow up his entire career? The theory makes sense, except from Nico's perspective unless they offered him so much money to do so that he couldn't say no.

As long as the Lakers defend the three, they should have a great chance to win the series.

Don’t worry Wolves fans, i already added a Lakers -13.5 halftime bet to add to my pregame -5.5 bet so Minnesota is due to make a big run now basing on my betting luck today. LOL

Challenging that? Wasn't there a foul before the elbow?
