Wolves already got what they aimed to do this first two games this series and that’s to steal homecourt advantage.
It should work better for Minnesota to lose big (40 pts) this game so they are pissed and motivated for Game 3.
Good job, LA but Minnie should get that 3-1 series lead before the series return to LA.

Gobert should never be touching the ball on offense unless it's alley oops or rebounds
Just gotta wait till game 7

It was the owners man. All this crap is smoke and mirrors. Nico went on slovenian TV not too long ago. Transcript.
Q: How much is Luka worth (as a human)?
NH: hiding from the camera and laughing I don't know if you can put a price tag on it, honestly, the value that he brings to the franchise, to the NBA, to this organisation, it's immesurable.
Q: Would you say that Luka changed the club to the better?
NH: Absolutely, look at what he has done to this team. He's such a dynamic player, he make everybody around him better, his marketablity.. like people from all over the world come to watch him play because of what he means to the NBA and basketball.
Q: Do you think you have a hard job because you have to make Luka Dončić an NBA champion? Or is that an honor to you that you will be able to make him one?
NH: It's both but I think it's an honor because I feel like we will be champions and it will be because of Luka. Q: Do you get some calls from players who want to play for Dallas because of Luka?
NH: All the time.
If he's lying here it means he's lying when it comes to everything else.
How much money would the Adelson's have to give him for him to take the blame and blow up his entire career? The theory makes sense, except from Nico's perspective unless they offered him so much money to do so that he couldn't say no.

It's night and day difference Lakers game 2 from last game. Low energy vs high energy intensity.

Good job, LA but Minnie should get that 3-1 series lead before the series return to LA.

As a laker fan, I sincerely hope that’s how the Wolves are approaching it.

Man Ant use to be able to back up his smack talk but he didn't do it last year and has not done it so far this year.

Likely nothing. Theorhetically they tell him what it is and who it concerns and he either goes with it or likely never GMs in the league again, cant go back to Nike etc. Wouldnt be surprised if he resigns next offseason.
Sorry I'm not following what you're saying here. You think the Adelsons told him to trade Doncic and if he refused he would never GM in the league again and wouldn't be allowed to go back to Nike?
