Randle didn't get the sack but it counts as a QB pressure

Maybe a thourough beatdown is what we need though.

That was a hard playoff foul that sends a message. Wolves need to do it more.

Wolves are just too big, too fast, too physical for this Lakers team

Lakers first foul of the game was with 4min remaining in the first half. Do with that what you will.

Lakers 1st foul came very early, it was challenged and overturned, Lakers aren't fouling, plain and simple, look at the Wolves shot chart...


It isnt possible to play basketball without either.. the other team scoring every time they take a shot at the basket.. or fouling.

Can we get more of those fun 'fish grease' comments? That's about the fifth time I've heard it today and it's been magical every time.

Plumber coach JJ has no answers tonight.

ESPN might like them but ESPNBet wants the Wolves to win with this much hype (and money) on the Lakers. LOL
