This team just doesn't have it. You cant have 3 mental lapses in a row and be a contender. It's been happening all series. We are giving away leads like candy. Wolves doesn't even have to try we're literally giving it to them.

This is what you look like when you out of shape.
Luka just cost his team a double digit lead in less than a minute because he's lazy.

How does no one tell Luka that a double team is coming?

Having to do so much, he has over a third of their points on excellent efficiency.

Tragic last minute by Luka, instead of 12, it's 4 points game.
Defense wins draft lotteries!

Nah you should have seen last game. We had about 16 of those plays.

Why did GSW let go of Divincenzo? He's as good as Curry with 3-pt shooting.

Luka Chokic gives away the lead like he was Gobert.

It's less about AR and more about the Wolves defense. They locked down Booker/Beal/Murray in last years playoffs. Only the absolute elite of the elite like Kyrie can break through these Wolve defenders

Why are the Lakers so goddamn scared to shoot the ball? The only one who shoots if they get daylight is Finney-Smith. He doesn't hesitate. Rui won't shoot, and Austin passed up an open 3 at the end of the quarter. This is 2025 you have to shoot.

Two huge defensive plays by Nico.
First he sits on the rim and swats out that Luka layup, then he gets the steal leaving Luka helpless sprawled out on the floor.
