We've had some thrilling Games of late.
Let's see what the Lakers/Timberwolves do.

The Lakers being gifted one of the greatest Playoff performers in NBA history when their window was closing is criminal

Playoffs a different animal.

I have to admit the NBA the last month or so has been fun to watch.

Hopefully this trend continues and we end up seeing the Cs play in June.

Of course none of the analysts will actually step up and say it but they keep attacking Luka causing everyone to collapse therefore Minnesota is getting wide open threes.

But can you admit it's easier to hit shots when they're more open?

It really wouldn't be a shock to me if Minnesota came out of the West. Not saying they will or I would bet on them but their team length and defense certainly gives them a legit chance.

Lakers are freakin lucky. Wolves losing this one if ant can’t return. This game will be tied the 1st 5mins of the 4th with this trend.

It seems like every time Minnesota initiates an attack against Luca they score and score easy but then they stop doing it for 3 - 4 possessions in a row ...how **** stupid can they be??

Size really matters in the playoffs.

The game slows down, so if you are bigger and stronger, the opposing team will have a harder time scoring in the paint.

If Al and KP stay healthy for this postseason, we repeat.

The double big lineup will really be a factor this time around.

If Lakers dont make it out the first round, you could say Nico would have the last laugh
