Okay this was actually hilarious. Murphy is also a naturally funny human being, I can see him doing some media work in the future.

Luka got Gobert in foul trouble game 1 and I think Lakers are gonna go back to that again game 2. Gobert on a switch is probably Luka’s favorite matchup in the entire league.

My guess is they try to get Rudy and McDaniels in foul trouble as soon as possible.

Look for the Wolves to try to stay down and not go for blocks in the first half, ie straight up and sometimes they won’t even use their arms (they’ve done this in the past to thwart foul merchants).
