Wolves might just be a better overall team. They got more weapons top to bottom.

I doubt he has that kind of value. Pacers say no for turner. Reaves is the least valuable archetype

Randle is not afraid of Lebron. That chin music was an example of it.

That's the second janky inbound pass for LAL. Can't have that in the playoffs.

Reaves is a weak mentality player.

LA has a lot of opportunities to cut to single digits this quarter and blew it

We got punked on our home court.

How we respond in Game 2 will matter a whole lot. If Minny wins series is a wrap.

I dont know if he should be traded. But he should def not be starting against Minny. He needs to come off the bench.

Is there a reason why they cant just replicate the Mavs team and just focus on a ball-dominate Luka. I don't know how I feel about this half LeBron-half Luka offense. When AD was on the team he basically took a reduced offensive role focused on defense and had his good 1st half or 2nd half games.

Why is LeBron about to check in when the game is a blowout late? So he can statpad and make his field goal look better so bronsexuals can say he didn’t play bad look at his percentages and then point fingers at everyone else on the team for the reason why they lost.

Ant Edwards is seriously going to finish this game with 2 f#@king FTAs? :lol:

Lakers have no frontcourt. That's not something they can just hide.

You fell for the propaganda. It was obvious the Wolves were a different caliber entirely

I am ashamed.

Make that another one here. Im sorry.

Got nothing from the bench this game. Rough go

scrabbarista · Post #1379 » by **scrabbarista** » Sun Apr 20, 2025 2:58 am

I want to know how many of ANT's assists were for threes. Seems like his points responsible for might end up over 50.

Him and Ant are guys who save their best for playoffs. Last year Jaden killed Suns in key games, and had two standout games vs Denver.

He has elevated his ceiling as a player by adding a dependable up close middy and willing drives with his length, on top of having all nba level D.

Who wins the series?
