Donte overall has been dog crap on offense. He’s bringing nothing on that end

Is he supposed to get an extension this off season?


Im not sure how is contract looks but i know it's a bargain. But i also know after this series he's gonna have people looking at him sideways.

I always felt he's a 6th man. He's taken great strides but he's honestly best used as a 6th man imo.

It's nice that we've got three close playoff series in the West, but it's hard to get too excited when no one looks like they'll last more than 5 vs OKC. This is some meh basketball.

If you just read these comments and haven't watched the game you'd think the Wolves were up double digits lol.

These commentators make it sound like Lakers' are just giving the ball away when in reality Minnesota's athleticism has them completely spooked.
