Lmao, Lakers called for their first foul with 4 minutes left in the second.

All that Austin Reaves talk all week and Naz Reid out here cooking like Gordon Ramsay.

Flashbacks of Denver last year with Rui. He over helps so much off good shooters

Ant is a human highlight reel. His bounce is ridiculous

I love that Edwards tries to dunk everything.

LAL is one of the worst rebounding teams I've ever seen

Two come to mind,
Gerald Wilkins "The Jordan Stopper"
Ruben Patterson "The Kobe Stopper"

Only 9 FTA for the Lakers so far. Silver is going to call the ref crew at halftime and chew them out.

Lebron looks awful on defense.

Lebron playing like Jools Lebron

Can't say enough about Minnesota's response after the first 6 minutes or so. Their physicality and aggression has been fantastic.

No idea why so many thought this was gonna be an easy series for the Lakers.
Lakers are a flawed team, that was the consensus after the Luka trade yet many have done a 180 and have them as contenders for some reason.

honestly if i was the Lakers i would just do gamble swipes and force the refs to call it

He is driving more then usual this game. He figures he got his best 3pt volume shooter record and is back to slashing lol

That's only because the refs are letting them play defense, for now. That'll probably change in the second half.

LAL will stay out of rhythm until AR15 gets going. He's the metronome.

These foul calls are ridiculous.

Making the Lakers look soft. Especially with the flopping. Lakers need to play some damn ball.

Who wins the series?
