Liking the Wolves effort without Ant. At the very least, build some momentum and gain confidence before Game 3.

Not his series ...

Next series you'll see more of my boy.

That LeBron drive was bad. Dude's legs buckled as soon as he hit the paint. Cmon man.

Some elite flopping this playoffs. Jokic and Brunson set the bar high though. They put on masterclasses yesterday.

You literally just posted, “players are allowed to have off games”. So it’s okay for McDaniels but not for the Lakers players like Reaves?

Tell me you’re unbiased lol.

Huh? Reaves has a so-so game but still contributing. Either way, i trust the Wolves recover from this and still win this series.

This Lakers team is going to be great neat year when they have a real big. Hayes is trying his but he's just not adaquete. Next year when they have one they'll go up a step in class.

This is far from a so-so game from Reaves.
