Monk is definitely our 3rd best player when AD is healthy. The chemistry with Lebron keeps getting better and better.

Russ will be the reason why we won't make it far in the playoffs or win the play in. I will bet any amount of money on that.

7 offensive rebounds. At some point the offensive advantage to going small is negated by how many extra possessions we’re giving up.

If it wasn’t for Russ’ ridiculous turnovers, this would be a 10+ point game.

If we cared about boxing out in the slightest, this would be a 20+ point game.

If we clean up those things and decide to care about basketball, we’ll win this game going away.

Put in Dwight Howard for the second half? Take out Bradley or Johnson. Lakers are getting outrebounded by 26-10.

Just tuned in. How are we this close with a team that is missing their 2 most expensive players? Missing Russell may be addition by subtraction but Townes is good.

I just need Russ to stay back in the locker room and never step on the court. Matter of fact he can just go home Antonio Brown style...

The Lakers just don't care about this game. Seriously.

Getting outscored 44-26 in the paint, and outrebounded 15-3 on the offensive glass. Can't defend the pick n roll and Naz Reid dominating with 23 points.

Surprising... Westbrook goes out and we catch up and take the lead.

Wolves just getting in the paint and to the rim at will. Might as well run pick n roll every possesion and that'll ensure them a win.

I get a headache watching Westbrook play the game of basketball. And this **** makes 44 million dollars to suck at basketball...

The effort on the glass is pathetic. Wolves have doubled up the Lakers 48-24. That's just absurd.
