Yeah I'm looking at that with Bron too, he'll need a big rest. Someone on the Lakers has to step up bc Minny is looking physical like last year's squad.

It’s been bad officiating. You gotta be blind not to see that.

Lakers with no production from the bench whatsoever is just not sustainable over this and next games series

Mavs had this figured out, Lakers still don't. It shows big time.

Meanwhile, Randle had to go through a medieval guantlet on the other end. No calls.

Dude, rewatch it, post the proof, or delete your account. Else, take your biased glasses off.

Yet Wolves have 22 freethrows and we've got 17

Ant literally has 10 freethrows.

I agree. And there has been a few to go the Wolves way (like the kickball) but its like 10-1 on favorable to bad for the Lakers.

That Cleveland cast would put whatever Lakers have fielded tonight to shame though. Tristan Thompson/Love could flat out rebound, JR/Jefferson/Shumpert were all athletic enough and could guard the perimeter.

It’s not the Lakers’ players. Coaching staff needs to make sure Luka understands where to go and when to pass it. He’s cornering himself between the baseline and half court line and forced into tough passes right now.

Pretty much every single foul call LeBron has gotten has been beyond obvious lol.

You people are **** idiots man and its evident. This whole series it's been rigged for the Lakers yet we've fouled more than Wolves and had less freethrows literally every game.

Bunch of idiots man.

Is it just me or all these Minny finishes at the rim could be and-1s and they just don’t want to call it?

Absolutely. It’s not about which team is being favored on any particular night by the officials, it’s about basic officiating. Especially now with the emphasis on gambling.

Feed the ball more too Rui.

Rui actually drove to the basket!

Okay I was a bit premature calling this over during that Laker run but I'm just not liking this Wolves offense right now. Feels like they're just barely hanging on because the Lakers are useless outside bron and Luka.

Why do the refs hate the Lakers?

Who wins?
