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

[SlimShady83]

wow nice elbow wolves

[TimberKat]

Gobert is hideously bad at offense

Just a little nervous in the playoffs

[Mamba Mentality]

if that isn’t a flagrant idk what is

[KGDirkTD_Fan]

Lmao Dante sent him flying

[zshawn10]

Luka has more points than the twolves do as a team

[Dan33185]

Wolves can still comeback....1st quarter blowouts usually don't last

Yeah, this game is far from over, if the Wolves can get it to single digits by half that would be huge.

[Shaka_Zulu]

And a turnover, leading a Lebron to DFS basket.Just bad basketball to the point for the Timberwolves.

We definitely playing like we content we got one in game 1, and just going through the motions here early.



Need to make it down to 10 pts down at most by half time to keep it open.

[ScrantonBulls]

If Vandy sells that and stays on the floor, it's an easy flagrant.

[levon]

Gobert is hideously bad at offense

I'd rather ask Naz Reid to play harder on defense and close with him than ask Gobert to carry more offensive load

[DrModesty]

Donte makes a lot of dumb hotheaded plays

[Chuck Everett]

If overturned, that would give Donte three fouls.

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

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.

I'll never understand why people are so indifferent to reporting. The press isn't perfect but they get most things right. The reporting is overwhelming that this was Nico's idea.

If this was a cut money idea, you'd want young players/picks

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.

Im not saying it's all the owners. It was def a collective effort

Come on now none of what Nico says makes any sense. He's not an idiot he literally works with superstars. How can you not know how important Doncic is to Dallas? Nico is not an idiot. Not to that extent anyway.

[HotRocks34]

Redick went with the Luka Energy lineup late in the 1Q. That lineup was very good in the regular season.

[Dan33185]

Gobert is hideously bad at offense

Gobert should never be touching the ball on offense unless it's alley oops or rebounds

[SlimShady83]

Lakers got Defense need this every game, every series.

No more sleeping

[Syd-TK3]

Nobody should be surprised by the way this game is going Lakers got embarrassed at home game 1 they needed this typa response

[MrGoat]

If Vanderbilt hit that after the steal...

[Mamba Mentality]

Vando

[sp6r=underrated]

Great effort by the Lakers and pathetic effort by the wolves who are checked out.
