Yeah Wolves are just a superior more balanced overall team. They about to do these Lakers like they did the Suns last year

Pure domination by the Wolves. The best part of the Lakers game has been the refs. Wolves are also just fun to watch.

The score is actually flattering the Lakers, this felt like a 30 point blowout ever since Donte made that 3 to end the 1st half.

I said on page 1 that Minnesota would surprise people and they have. It's tempting to overcorrect here in favor of Minnesota, but its just 1 game. This is a 6 or 7 game series.

Lebron when he shoots anything outside 15 feet is like when shaq shoots free throws.

We’ll see how this series goes but its been so weird to see how confident all the lakers media has been going into this series. But then again they’re like that going into every series, so I guess I should’ve expected it.

It's over, empty the benches.
Reaves was terrible, and no one really stepped up on the Lakers but it wouldn't jave mattered, Ant, Reid and McDaniels were simply ustoppable tonight.
Defense wins draft lotteries!
Fortune favours the bold, so it ducked Nico Harrison.

I don't get why JJ is playing his top heavy roster big minutes in a 23 point game.

His defense was horrific.

We forced him to score. Big deal.
