2025 NBA PLAYOFFS West First Round: #3 LA Lakers vs #6 Minnesota Timberwolves (MIN leads 3-1)

[AmIWrongDude]

LeBron should be primary ball handler over Luka right now

[TimberKat]

Lebron pos dirty ****. Getting clowned by Edwards and does that

He literally makes a play for the ball man, jesus.

Just a bunch of cry babies man I swear

That is call a chop block in other sports. Let's see what happens when someone else dive on the floor and roll over Luka and LBJ. Embiid took out two guys with the same play.

[f4p]

every time i see randle he's making insane shot after insane shot

Definitely every time he's playing a team I like. Every time I've wanted him to do well he's like 7 for 25.

abc halftime show:

mallika says 10 words. perk, myers and sas say 5 words each and then off to commercials. amazing.

tnt's entire broadcast is based around the pre, halftime and post game shows. abc treats the game like breaks from the commercials.

Man the NBA is really spoiling us this year with these series and you guys just want to argue about the most pointless ****. Just enjoy this.

On topic: Ant very much belongs in the highest tier with Jokic, SGA, Luka and Giannis. Not today but he’ll get there. Future of this league along SGA and Luka.

I like Ant but he will never be on that tier. Honestly, I'd bump SGA down a tier too. Luka/Giannis/Jokic are on another level offensively at their best.

[PierceFan4ever]

He literally makes a play for the ball man, jesus.

I've been watching Lebron play for over 2 decades. He's not a dirty player and everyone whose not a hater knows it. He's physical but he's never played dirty or reckless.

he dove right into his legs. It doesnt get much dirtier. This causes potentially career ending injuries.

He had no shot at the ball against a 23 year old. He was frustrated with Edwards being physical with him and decided to go for his leg on that fake hustle attempt which again he had zero shot at getting with Edwards clearly a step ahead of him and didn’t need to dive to even try to get a touch of the ball.

[Calinks]

The NBA playoffs have been of the best I have seen so far, this might be the best first round.

[uberhikari]

Austin Reaves should be well-rested, and should now have his mind right. If he comes out in the second half and **** the bed, then he's not built for this.

[theforumblue]

Luka only 1 assist. Intentional strategy by Minnesota or Luka just looking for his own shot more?

he and reeves have a bet to see who can make the cutest assists.

Seek help. Sounds like soap opera drama

[NyKnicks1714]

LeBron is going to run out of gas hard.

[Archx]

I don't know how Lakers can win this series. Not enough firepower and no center to match versatility of this Wolves team.

All you have to do is upgrade to Rivermind Lux for a commercial free experience

[firedavidkahn]

22 minutes by LeBrimon and Luka, 43 points on excellent effeciency, and they trail by 3, Lakers are outmatched...

On the other end, none of our role players have done ANYTHING this game. The Wolves being up is honestly surprising right now. This team is filled with really good role players so it's only a matter of time until they get going.

Tbf, I wouldn't expect some called PierceFan4ever to be the most loving or objective towards LeBron James.

No shot? He almost grabbed the ball and tipped it out of bounds, but I guess you're raging too hard to see properly.

Are you **** blind? The ball was literally right there he dove for it and he got ball first. You people are deranged man.

True, but you can't blame those networks when they pay billions for the rights to broadcast those games.. they gotta get the money back somehow..

[life_saver]

So far in this series, Wolves 2nd half numbers have been way better than first half...should see how it holds up tonight

[Mamba Mentality]

Lakers are already running out of gas. It was a layup line the last 5-6 minutes of the half.
