Redick needs to excise Hayes completely. Just spotting the Wolves points every game for his 9 minutes.

Rudy is just pure trash as a player. Why even play him? He’s a liability. The guy can’t do anything. He can’t defend he can’t rebound despite being 10 feet tall and can’t even score

There are countless road games in LeBron's career where he goes off from the perimeter and the opposition still pulls off something from their ass to win. This game has all the makings of that.

Minnesota is also just better

ANT looks more like a role player than a superstar. Wolves needs to unload him until owners catch on. They can get a real superstar for him. He is not one

Lakers would have swept this stupid low IQ wolves team if they still had AD. While Doncic has does cause mismatches against certain teams , in series like this his lack of athleticism and now no true BIG hurts them. AD would have ate Rudy for lunch and that entire interior

There’s a million offensively talented wing players in the league with limited defense. There’s very FEW talented big man.

Nothing Lakers have shown in this series should make you think they can beat this Minnesota team. They just look totally outmatched.

Lakers wouldn't have been the 3rd seed with AD.

It's unlucky timing Luka got a stomach bug.

Not saying he doesn't have his flaws, but he was fine the first 2 games.

Yeah I had Lakers in 6, but Minnesota are really really good. Game 4 pivotal to the series.

You gotta put the right guys around Luka. 40 year old LeBron ain’t it. Their games just don’t mesh

Fun game. Hope we get at least 3 more, not sure how many playoff games we have left of LeBron.

I think after this one, he has the highest scoring playoff game for a 40 year old?
