These refs have been crap. Yesterday they don't toss out Gordon after throwing a punch and now this? SMH

You're absolutely correct, LeBron gets breathed on and it's a foul and everyone else gets bodied at the rim and the refs swallow their whistle.

If I'm Luka there I don't foul and make Gobert prove he can even finish

Hilarious how the exact same posters who just excused LBJ for trying to injure Ant now suddenly blow a little shove up as if Gobert tried to take his head off. The officiating is honestly disgusting. I'm fine with the flagrant 1 but how do they not call the foul before? Lebron leaves his rebounding slot before the ball si even in the air and elbows Gobert. Nothing to see here.

The Wolves should stop sending two at Luka. He's killing them when they double.

Rui dissected the Wolves that quarter. Found something with the small ball lineup.

The unfortunate disadvantage of being taller, any time you use your forearm with your shoulder at 45-60deg flexion or abduction will result in your forearm being in the other player’s cervical area

Lebron is exempt from whistles against him

lakers still don't know how to handle it.

LBJ and Luka played 34min each of 36min total..lol
Can JJ afford to sit them 2-3min each at different intervals in the 4th..or together??

Correct. It's 100% textbook legal now. Was a travel for 90%+ of NBA history.

Ten point game with one quarter left. Wolves can still win this, but they've got to play much better.

Optms · Post #776 » by **Optms** » Sun Apr 27, 2025 9:52 pm

Bron with 27 points on 7 shots.

Talk about efficient.

Bron shot 18 free throws

Wolves can't hope for a comeback unless they start hitting three's like no tomorrow which I doubt will happen.

I don't know what traveling is anymore in this league other than shuffling a pivot foot.

He just made two in a row. Keep riding that momentum I say.

Who wins?
