Luka hasn't really cooked gobert at all in this game. A lot of passing it off.

We got a game again. Minnesota will need to string together more than one bucket though.

Some of the most braindead offense i've seen us play. Wide open bricks. Reaves doing i dont know what on that fastbreak. Lebron missing bunnies like wtf.

His lack of hustle and intensity is pathetic. Get Naz Reid back out there.

Reaves and Hayes have been the Wolves MVPs. Offense should be going through Luka here, Reaves and LeBron don't have it

Gobert has to be the worst offensive player.

Lakers get away with so many fouls on one sequence and then Luka has the gall to freak out over a completely inadvertent trip.

You don’t need a showtime alley oop on every **** fast break. Just go up for the easy two Reaves.

Jaden McDaniels was absolutely mauled on that putback, but back to single digits!

The Lakers look totally gassed right now. Someone needs to make an open shot or layup

Teams playing Lakers need to get 20 challenges each game to level the playinng field, thats how bad the reffing is tonight. Lakers needs to renamed as los angeles Fakers or hollywood Lakers. Infact. Luka was selected to lakers in the midseason because HD already had the basic acting skills required. Anybody else probably need a season or two to get acting down pat
