Frankly, the Wolves did not play very well for most of that first quarter. Randle was good, but the rest of the team was missing too many 3s and point-blank put-backs and not getting enough stops. Good end to the quarter, but they should feel fortunate to only be down 4.

The missed Luka lay-up was such an unnecessary 4 point swing, but the turnover is 100% on DFS. Sets a screen on the f*cking sideline, alls DDV to slide over and double and to top it all off he doesn't communicate said sliding over.

They dont have to play well. We aren't a serious team. We'll invite teams back on the regular.

I have no clue what was DFS thinking there. Trying to set a screen for ESPN announce table or wtf? Would have been better if he just stayed far away lol..

Luka is the biggest crybaby. EVERY SHOT he complains to the refs.

Not sure who's the 40 year old on the Lakers, Lebron or Luka? That blown layup was embarrassing.

He's in his own head.

Classic case of too many cooks in the kitchen. He’s best used as primary or secondary ball handler and now he’s third.

Lakers need to use him as an asset to find a big this summer.

Just watched some minutes but do the Wolves ever run sets for DDV? He looked like prime Klay when he played us last playoffs. He was so elite coming off screens and I don't see any of that right now.
