I like this Wolves squad, they’re fun.

Also Naz Reid has a ridiculously quick trigger.

I'd love to steal him for Chicago.

LeBron got the chasedown block, but being 40, he can't do it multiple times.

Lakers transition defense is putrid.

Wolves with foul calls would be tearing this game up lol

When wolves win this series handily people will have to explain what made them think lakers were ever serious contenders

They are too small and don’t play defense. What are people thinking?

Kind of, but still better than anybody I’ve seen his age before.

He had the lift for the very telegraphed block on NAW.

But then he drives on Jaden and Rudy and they man handled him because he had almost no lift on his attacks there.

I think the lakers will still win this game. Wolves aren’t gonna be this hot in the second half imo.

Yeah you ever seen a 40 year old do what he's doing after 21 years of active playing professionally? Bodies wear down.

Lakers need to slow this game down and control tempo with Luka and Lebron. They need to be more disciplined or the Twolves will just run away with this.

LeWashed is holding Luka back. Lakers should trade him for Giannis or Jokic in the off-season.

Wolfgang630 · Post #837 » by **Wolfgang630** » Sun Apr 20, 2025 1:36 am

The Lakers desperately need the refs to help them win

How many times has Gobert been exposed in the playoffs with small ball?

He has one of the fastest shot motions in the NBA.

And he gets hot quick when he gets in the flow.

He usually saves scoring runs like this for 3rd or 4th quarters.

Who wins the series?
