For sure, i thought some of their fans were insane for underestimating them.... I was like minny has both a top 10 offense and top 5 defense if I recall correctly..... And while the Lakers offense is explosive, they have Luka and LeBron trying to play defense... And no big man

I was in GB before series fighting good fight for poor Wolves fans, outmatched like 15 : 1 by Lakers fans :lol:

Lakers were favorites because something something Lakers, something something Lebron and sheer fear of league suiting up +3 men to play for Lakers every game.

But Lakers roster has so much issues. No perimeter defense, no rim protection, no center rotation, mediocre defense and offense that lives off 3 point accuracy.

Wow…that perhaps seals it for MIL…Dame’s contract and the expected severity of that injury puts them in PHI or Beal territory.

Giannis & MIL might agree it’s time to blow it up…while he’s still in his amazing prime .

Giannis, Durant, Morant, Lauri, FVV, Trae, Jrue…so many big names that could be in play this summer and the first round isn’t even over. DAL, SAC, PHX, PHI, NOLA, DEN, among others also looking at tumultuous tear down conversations

I hope ORL making calls, seeing where we can help facilitate, and picking off pieces that could improve us…just off the top of my head - Portis, Gafford, Tyus, McCollum, Herb Jones, Hauser could be the kind of guys that get caught in the crossfire of a high-profile trade, and be available for picks and lesser, likely expiring, players…last year, we were built for that, but there are still tradable assets if we make the effort.

Been saying this offseason its gonna be a firesale for multiple teams. Weltman will have plenty of options outside the Simmons and Coby White we've been pushing for. Lets see what this executive experience he has go to work now. He knows its time to make moves.

The Heat almost lost by the biggest margin in NBA playoff History.

That was a massacre tonight and their crowd and the towels The Heat players had over their heads made you feel the pain they felt.

Cleveland is a force.
