Nah its too late. Games over. No Wolves really hungry this game besides Randle.

Agree the game is over, Lakers live spread of -14.5 is up in the air though. LOL

Drive to the damn basket Reaves and draw fouls, do what you do best - play your damn game.

He can’t do that on these Wolves defenders. They’re longer and stronger than him and it’s clearly got him rushed. He has tried to get the Conley switch but it hasn’t worked great yet

They're also allowing the TWolves to commit assault on the floor tonight.

Better to do single coverage against Luka. Rudy's defense has been largely fine one-on-one, Luka is just that elite in the midrange.

He will just score 80 and beat you guys then.

Game ain't over. Remember that Lakers vs Nuggs series where LA got some big leads?

I'm in Sweden and we not gambling addicts yet for sports, what does live spread of -14.5 entail at this point?

They need him post-LeBron era. So rather just wait another year…

Post Lebron is all about Luka and putting a team around him that maximizes his skillset. Which is high end athletic wings that can shoot and rim running and shot blocking big men. Reaves is a fine player, probably would be on that Tyler Herro level but i don’t know if he’s a long term fit around Luka.

Maybe. But you make it sound like Reaves is a scrub. He’s not. (And am a Lakers hater)

What kind of weak ass foul call for Reaves is that? Dude throws his body into Edwards and you bail his flopping ass out?

Who wins?
