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

[FrobeBryant]

I don’t wanna hear from the mouth breathing “NBA rigs it for Lakers crowd” again

NBA rigs it for Lakers. Wolves overcome it.

Hello mouth breather

I can't believe they actually called a foul there from a replay. Against Bron. Against Lakers.

The Suns & the Nuggets one were really bad LOL

The Suns punking/salsa dancing and Jokic hitting demoralizing shots to end LA’s season both at Staples Center had to sting for Shannon Sharpe

GOAT’s don’t flame out in the first round when they have a top 3 player in the league trying to carry the team.

40 years old.

And still gave it all on both ends. ANT and the Wolves were just better. What other GOAT level players are not scrubs at this point? I'll wait

Excuses is all I hear.

It makes their tears all the sweeter

Why does lebron never take the last shot…. i thought he’s supposedly clutch? Shouldn’t LA win these close games with him and luka?

celebrating with some of chicago’s finest pizza

Nobody says he is clutch outside ESPN and a very small bubble of die hards. Its like a red line throughout his career that he disappears in important games. Of course you can pull out some hand selected numbers that "prove" something, preferrably all career stats that will always look impressive when you played the most games by far, but we saw him getting outplayed from 2011 until now. We know who made the three pointer vs. the Spurs we know who made "the shot" in 2016.

JFC you donkeys are obnoxious ... he had basically a decade straight where he had huge game after huge game after huge game and took home four championships along the way. Anybody who is still pushing this dipsht agenda willingly has their head up their own ass.

The Timberwolves version of small ball is better than the Lakers version of small ball.

Lakers GM really got a contract extension for building a 3 man team. Unbelievable.

The future is bright
LBJ will take some pay-cut next season so Lakers can sign proper C.
They can proceed and sign few vets who are big and can spread floor/shoot
Bojan Bogdanovic is FA coming from injury and likely to accept one year LA deal for MLE or Vet Min.
There will be few others who will take a shot at the ring with LBj and Luka.

GOATS don’t score 0 points in the 4th quarter and throw the game away on a crucial game in the playoffs.

And yet they were only in it because he was playing DPOY level defense all 4th. Keep trying though.

I don't know what gives you more rating for your network, lakers/luka/lebon winning or them exiting. they will be the talk of the channels beside the sanders drama.

Someone check on Unc

Hot Dog what a collapse/choke by the Lakers !

[Tracymcgoaty]

We weren't going anywhere with this squad anyway.

Everyone not named Lebron or luka should be on the trade table.

DFS
Rui
Lebron
Luka
Gabe

AR is the highest trade value even though this series probably tanked the **** out of it. Rob has decisions to make.

Time for a new generation. it was a foul, clear as day.

The future is bright
LBJ will take some py-cut next season so Lkers can sign proper C.
They can proceed and sign few vets who are big and can spread floor/shoot
Bojan Bigdanovic is FA coming from injury and likely to accept one year LAKERS deal DOR MLE or Vet Min.
There will be few others who will take a shot at the ring with LBj and Luka.

It'll certainly be interesting to see how they attack the offseason. Probably need another wing defender on top of a center.

[Johnny Bball]

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

LA went small. Their own fault

They have a grand total of zero playable bigs on their roster. What choice is there?

Play one and force Gobert to play and screw their spacing.

Hope you enjoyed the game today, it was AWESOME.

Lakers in 7

[Chocolate City Jordanaire]

Damn i ain’t NEVER seen that replay angle before lmaoooo they caught Lebron in 4K

That was a first.

There's probably many angles of blown calls that we never have seen. They relayed it it correctly in real-time for once.

Almost like there is no rigging. I just feel bad for the Pistons getting shafted.
