Was it the Jazz who tried guarding prime Harden with their hands behind their back. Just daring the refs to call their bullsh#% fouls while they didn't use their arms.

You mean playing good defense and getting wide open looks in transition?

Yeah I don’t think this defense holds up.

Damn, cold finish to the half by DDV.

refs might as well be in purple and gold

Lakers got back in it because the T-Wolves stopped running and getting out in transition

Donte's inferno

Wolves should get some purple and gold alternate jersey so they get some damn calls

Disappointed in Reaves. What a disaster half

Reaves has been the worst player on the court...by far

FarBeyondDriven · Post #936 » by **FarBeyondDriven** » Sun Apr 20, 2025 1:49 am

12 - 5 FT advantage for the Lakers
11 - 4 foul advantage for the Lakers

the NBA is shameless. And you people celebrate this garbage? Typical b.s. officiating we've come to expect.

Tracymcgoaty · Post #937 » by **Tracymcgoaty** » Sun Apr 20, 2025 1:49 am

Probably the worst way to end the quarter.

Doe missing a wide open corner three. DDV hitting a damn logo three.

Lebron and Reaves need to step up in a massive way. Lebron started to get going in the end. Hope he can maintain.

Minnesota has already made 11 3's and they average 15 for the season. Hard for any opponent to overcome that kind of shooting.

Dante is such a firey post season player

Minnesota is pretty deep with great length. Donte and his shooting a great addition.

Not a good matchup for Lakers, especially without AD.

Who wins the series?
