These fouls for Reaves are ridiculous.

LeBron welcome to the West Coast. Not like those two bums you beat in Toronto each year to advance in the playoffs. We know you ran away from the East as Giannis was rising.

Twolves need Ant creating off the dribble. They're stagnant without him.

And Ant has morphed into an elite three point shooter.

They are also quicker and more switchable with Randle vs Towns.

Every talking head on ESPN, like 12 of them, all picked the Lakers in this series.

Is anyone surprised.



A poster called Bob8 is certainly suprised of this 3 first quarters, considering how loud he been in this thread past week.

Vando and Doe need to be played a lot more this series i think. They're hunting AR and Luka.

I know it’s just Game 1, but if it ends up being GSW vs. the Wolves next round, Jimmy’s definitely going to be hearing 'Rachel Nichols' nonstop from that Minnesota crowd.

That poster is using white as a derogatory term, in case nobody knew.

Everything about the Wolves home crowd is based AF.
From a fundamental standpoint it is better for a man to have nothing but be under the protection of Jesus Christ than for him to have everything he could ever want yet be completely without.
