The Lakers are really relying on a 40 year old to play 45 minutes?

I gotta say this commentary crew should not be on Laker games. It is glazing non-stop.

There was zero contact on that luka desperation drive. Lakers getting a lot of help here. Meanwhile Ant cant buy a call while driving relentlessly.

Doesn’t matter, refs aren’t calling any fouls for him but they’ll call fouls for Bron and Luka. That’s the difference.

I called it in the first quarter. This game is rigged for the Minnesota Timberwolves. Can't believe the Lakers are up.

Yeah well - they on their way to 80 and Rui got 20 and Austin gonna have 16 or so - this going back to LA tied

Plus these refs definitely wearing purple and gold


There has been horrible calls on both ends.

Rui with great defense.
