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

[SlimShady83]

22pt lead looking pretty nice at this stage

Yeh but I'm always scared of our 3 quarter woes

[EmpireFalls]

This game was pre-decided at tip off.

[Mamba Mentality]

Lukas face lighting up when he sees Gobert is equivalent to my face when I see a Latina.

[CobraCommander]

If Luka gets Rudy it’s embarrassing- the fact that the wolves don’t come help is kinda stupid

[AmIWrongDude]

People are shocked that refs are calling fouls when the TWolves have committed like 4 blatant headshots per quarter lol

[PistolPeteJR]

I'm not even looking at the screen, and I can tell it's rigged.

"Lots of blows to the face."

"Conley is acting there."

"That little shove got him the space."

"That's three fouls on Reid."

That's from like a one-minute sample.

You’re telling on yourself

“I’m not even watching the game”

Say more lol.

[Dan33185]

It's not like Gobert is playing bad defensively, Luka is just that good offensively.

I feel like Wemby would have obliterated that shot.

Possibly, he's way more agile than Gobert

Lakers almost went a whole half without being called and in this game Wolves have multiple players in foul trouble. Do with that what you will.

Teams never commit fouls against the lakers.

It’s crazy how the Lakers personnel can change, management, players and coaching staff but they can always “defend without fouling”

Lakers have fouled the Wolves 11 times so far. Pretty much the same amount of fouls the Celtics made their entire last game.

[KyRo23]

Minnesota committing the most obvious fouls left and right and you people are calling this "rigged".

I could feel the whining from my phone before I even joined the thread

Minnesota was in the penalty in the 1st (Lakers weren’t) and they’re in the penalty right now they’re getting more calls than the Lakers currently

Refs way too Involved, such a predictable script

The question really is if you jumped on that Lakers -5.5 line— just so obvious you say and you did not do anything about it? LOL

I don't bet on anything I can't control the outcome of.

So you yourself did not believe your “predictable script” comment. Got it, not all have the guts. LOL

Feel bad for mav fans lol. Too bad you guys have **** owners who are not basketball persons. Trading a generational talent for street clothes Davis, all because they don’t want to pay the man. Luka is unstoppable on offense, one of the best all time.

Lost interest after watching about twenty moving screens.

[kobe_vs_jordan]

They called the same moving screen on Vanderbilt that they did for Reid. Called Gabe for an offensive foul like DD foul that was challenged

Could say the ref are calling too much for a playoff. But they fouls at least .

You are focusing on the wrong thing. Stop obsessing whether or not Minny is actually committing fouls.

Ask yourself if the lakers are being officiated the same exact way? Everyone told the lakers to be more physical when they were the more physical team in game 1 and just weren’t called for much. They are once again being physical and are allowed to be physical and the wolves aren’t.

And it’s very clear there is an emphasis on the wolves 6 and 7 man to limit their time

Better to do single coverage against Luka. Rudy's defense has been largely fine one-on-one, Luka is just that elite in the midrange.

Modified Luka Energy lineup as Reaves sits

That's so last season. Luka cured that.

Crazy how posters can never watch a laker game and be objective about anything. We never get fouled. Every game is rigged. We foul literally every time.

Elbows to the face isn't a foul as long as it's against a lakers player because reasons.

Moving screens against laker players dont count because reasons. reaching in and hitting anything but ball dont count either.

we are leading in the foul department as well. 12-11.

[durden_tyler]

The Lakers were taken unawares in the first game. That’s not gonna happen again.

The Wolves are not playing this bad again at home. Minnesota getting 1-1 after 2 games is an accomplishment.
