I don’t think you know what choking means.

No one chocked bro

This is a instant classic

What rotation? The Earth rotated more than the Lakers in this second half

You can point to a lot, but Lebron and Luka were just awful down the stretch besides that Lebron block. This is on them. Your best players just played their worst at the most crucial momen

Great performance by Nico

Just a disgraceful collapse by the referees down the stretch. I've rarely seen that level of choking. Right through their fingertips...

But credit to the Timberwolves, too. They did everything they had to do.

They had one second to get it over half court because the refs missed the trip so they had to force a tough pass they shouldn't have. Then the wolves just get more free throws.

Doesn't matter because the Lakers got a great look regardless, but It's kind of ridiculous that the Lakers call a timeout to advance the ball and draw up a play when the refs declare it their ball, but then the time out stands AFTER the call is overturned. They're not going to call a time out if that foul is called originally.

We need Bronny vs Alexander Walker 1-on-1 let's go!!!

I’m still stunned LeBron chose to shoot that Curry-like 3 when they were up two points at 113-111. Just AWFUL

Maybe we can stop calling Reaves the best third option in the league now?

Salute minny. You guys are the better team. Bright future for minny fans.

Playing your starters the entire 2nd half so they're completely gassed late in the 4th was certainly a choice.

8 minutes without a FG for Luka and LeBron.
They played both 40+ minutes. Lakers are not a good team.

They did. They were letting Minny get away with a lot of rough play down the stretch, but then get really technical and ticky-tacky on the other end.

Still, LAL can't leave it up to the refs.

F**** bull game. Minny's been getting all the ref cooking all series.

I can never tell if people are really like this or just trolling. Like he clearly tripped on his foot.

I'm a pure basketball fan with no dog in this fight. I simply call it like I see it. Seems as if you are seeing something completely different

By different, do you mean the TV replay?

Who wins?
