Minny is actually a really good team. That’s what a balanced roster looks like, not the **** we have trotting out there.

LAKERS IN 5

Those exchange of 3 pointers in the final 3-4 minutes was great to watch and why basketball is the greatest sport in the world.

Congrats, Wolves! This should be the series. But the Lakers have their stars too so i don’t think they’ll fold next game so Minnesota should close it out in Minnesota!

They're not going to call a time out if that foul is called originally.

To be clear there was no mistake here, it's just a dumb rule. The league still hasn't sorted out the challenge system. I still don't understand why you lose your timeout if you get your second challenge correct

Again, hands are part of the ball. That wouldn’t have been a foul. He got him on his wrist.

Yeah right , and I’ve been born with balls instead my fingers

Rudy Gobert is terrible btw. Too bad Finch realized that and benched his ass the entire 4th.

Lololllo

Dude, they’re getting rolled by Houston next round

??? Houston isn't going to advance. Neither of those teams can compete with this defense

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.

LA is not that good of a team to overcome that against Minnesota.

Changes everything.. Minn vs OKC in the WCF would be wild

Am I the only one who expected a Minnesota - OKC conference final before the playoffs began?

LBJ with zero points in the fourth. Did he play? Oh yeah he committed that dumb foul in the end :lol:

Maybe he should play Luka 45 minutes in the regular season too so he can lose weight finally.

So happy that Minnesota has a lottery pick who has the fire and passion of KG. Ant has been a dog since day one. And speaking of KG, it’s time he showed up to a home game and make that place go nuts. The sale is just about final and having KG at more home playoff games would probably shake the entire city.

How many times is Bron going to disappear in the 4th?

Happens over and over.

He panicked and didnt trust what got him here. He is so focused on catering to luka and letting him hijack the offense.

You can challenge the out of bounds call, but if they see something else during that review, they will call it.

supposed to anyways. had a guy barrel over derrick white the other night and didn’t add it lmao

Are coaches able to expand on the rule and challenge a random moving screen or a trip/push away from the ball?

The fact that he can do that after playing alllll damn game is actually giving me a devoted MJ lover some questions about who has the goat horns

Lebron is undoubtedly amazing for his age, but that doesn't tip the scales in terms of greatest of all time. Pretty weird thing to say.
