2025 NBA PLAYOFFS West First Round: #3 LA Lakers vs #6 Minnesota Timberwolves (MIN leads 1-0)

Don't think you can defend when a team is this hot from 3

Defense is A problem for the Lakers right now. Lebron and Reaves getting shut down is the main problem tho

And while Minny is hot, all three of their long range shots were wide open this quarter

[HotRocks34]

Disgrace.

JJ should put in the bench plus Luka. That's a good energy lineup.

[TrustFundBaby]

Like I said

Just like the PHX series. Ppl not paying attention and defaulting to the bigger names. 0 doubt in my mind Minny got this

[durden_tyler]

And here i am taking Wolves ML halftime bet because am scared of the Lakers +3.5 line. LOL

We're not even defending fam. Their threes are wide open. They've abused the hell out of reaves.

Finch downloaded the **** out of that Boston series.

The game plan to attack Doncic has been absolutely, perfectly stellar.

Knock on wood.

And when they aren't attacking Luka they are driving by Reaves. If they could buy a FTA this would be SO ugly. Instead they just kick it out for a wide open 3.

Minnesota is prone to giving away big leads. They gave up a 24 pt 4th qtr lead to the freaking Bucks (without Lillard) just a week or two ago.

Exactly, it's far from over. The game after Bucks we nearly did the same again.


We are strong 3rd quarter team but if the score is getting narrower going into 4th, I virtually give up on the game. Our end of games execution and decision making is infuriating.

Lol every laker is getting wrecked. This isn't on doncic.

[ArksNetsSince99]

Wow i should be banned for picking Lakers to win this series

Yes you should , Modssssssss

[chrismikayla]

They are hunting Reaves every single possession. This is a major issue for the Lakers.

[cpower]

twolves have 6 players that shooting around 40% for threes. How are you not defending the outside shots? smh

[Revived]

Wolves are playing us like they did the Suns last year

• ⁠An all time great past his prime Bron/KD
• ⁠The only one doing anything Luka/Booker
• ⁠Exposing the weakest link AR/Beal

Interesting comment from a Lakers fan on reddit

[Movics]

Can the lakers forfeit the 4th game when they’re down 3-0? If so, WOLVES IN 3

[KGDirkTD_Fan]

Minny honestly made the best out of the KAT trade, thought their offense would be much more **** than this. teams more well rounded than i imagined.

[Mk0]

aw man, now you have Rudy getting free lobs? I think your zone is cooked JJ

[Mk0]

Ant can't buy a f#%king whistle. jeeeez man..

[azcatz11]

Reaves needs to show up. There have been times where he was the Lakers best offense.

That said, NAW/McDaniels are like the perfect build to give him fits on defense.

Reaves is X factor

[Chuck Everett]

There you go Randle.
