No timeout from Redick. Never mind, there it is.

I said he was one of the most important for the wolves to win this series.

lol as expected - Lakers haven’t been called for a single foul so far and Reaves is flopping as usual for calls

Julius Randle has been a basketball terrorist on offense, but he's doing a great job being physical against LeBron James on the defensive end.

I don't know all his metrics but they just seem way better with him on the court. Gobert and Randle not as much.

As far as I’ve seen the only adjustment reddick can do right now is put Luka back in the game. LeBron and AR what is going on

What's he doing passing off on Bron in the post. I know Reid made his 3 but he's gotta take Bron to the bucket.

I have no idea what his plan of attack on offense is other than just vibing

48 mins if possible. The less we see of Randle the better.
Naz was bad last years playoffs (generally cold most series), and his defending is not good at all. But atleast he isnt a ball stopper, he makes super quick decisions, quick 3, or quick rim attack or keep it moving, allways.

I don't know. I don't mind him driving and kicking. He's good at it and the Wolves have the shooting to cash in

Yeah, Bron looks off.
Hope he can shake that off.

Twolves seem to get out in transition and get deep in the paint. Lakers are either going to need to make all their shots or make an effort to get back on defense.
