April 20Apr 20 I actually haven't hated Bilas tonight. He's said a lot of solid stuff. Mark Jones sounds like someone just shot his dog in front of him. Fuck that guy.
April 20Apr 20 Mismatch on the benches. We’ll see how the series plays out but Finch is coaching circles around JJ!
April 20Apr 20 Minny has bodies that LA doesn't have. I think this still goes 6ish but Minny may wear their ass out.
April 20Apr 20 Lakers just consistently struggling to get good shots against this salty Minnesota D. Nothing easy and its like a crusade just to score a bucket. As Ant hobbles to the locker room. Uh oh. Edited April 20Apr 20 by Message Board User
April 20Apr 20 I like how they are acting like Minny is having some crazy, unsubstantiated night from 3. LA isn't defending fucking anything. All of these looks are in rhythm without disruption. They obviously won the Luka trade but I wasn't sold on them this season because I thought their perimeter D and rim protection was going to be ass. It's looking like it here.
April 20Apr 20 Here's an idea for the national media. Maybe watch the games before you pencil in the Lakers for the Finals. They're not a good team. They have two great players, one good one, and then a VERY steep drop off after that. They are terrible on defense. Edited April 20Apr 20 by Aqua Buddha

Was definitely hoping that Golden State beat LAC to get the Lakers in Round 1. Old, slow, no length, limited shooting, shit defensively. Minus the defense, basically an even worse version of the Warriors.
April 20Apr 20 That was sick. That said - Mark Jones needs to take Luka's dick out of his ass. What a terrible first 3Q* he just called. Again - Bilas grew on me. Edited April 20Apr 20 by ztejas
April 20Apr 20 As long as divincenzo is playing luka heads up 1v1 he needs to touch the ball every time down that court.

April 20Apr 20 Lol fuck the Lakers. Fuck everything about their franchise. Hope Ant and crew sweep these douchebags. Just now, billfromlaketravis said: And… we see now why the Nuggets wanted no part of the Twolves. I told y'all like 5 weeks ago that no one should want anything to do with this TWolves team.
April 20Apr 20 "Edwards playing with his food" they said as he was playing against LeBron James. The mighty have fallen.

April 20Apr 20 LOL. Bronny plays in his first playoff game will the headline, not the Lakers got blown out of their own building.
April 20Apr 20 8 minutes ago, Michael Knight said: none of the twolves are serious people they will never win anything of consequence Ant and others still have plenty of time to become "serious people" to go along with the insane talent. KAT on the other hand is unlikely to change, but that's the Knicks problem now.
April 20Apr 20 That look you give when Kyrie and your lob threats are gone.1 assist for Luka tonight. We knew he was gonna score but you gotta take out the teammates. We’re not gonna shoot like that from deep next game. But stealing home court is sweet. Lakers were shitty on the road, like 17-24
April 20Apr 20 Ant is the fucking truth. This season I think he's the 2nd best player in the league going into the playoffs behind Jok. I'm not taking SGA or Tatum or Giannis over this cat. I think his leadership and presence is too good. Lakers might get swept here.

They have two great players, one good one, and then a VERY steep drop off after that. They are terrible on defense. Bingo. They have to play with max effort at all times to be a top 10 D and even then, their only rim protector is LeBron. The Mark Williams move was bizarre. I know he played ball at Texas, but Williams is a far superior player to Hayes. Especially on defense.

Scanning the mock drafts which are still up on the web and not Chad Ford'd, several mocks had the Wolves taking Lamelo. And Kevin O'Connor had Edwards the #2 overall prospect behind...wait for it...Killian Hayes (though have to give O'Connor credit for ranking Avdija in the top 5). https://nbadraft.theringer.com/2020/

April 20Apr 20 Quote Lakers coach JJ Redick said. "And really when [the Wolves] started playing with a lot of thrust and physicality, we just didn't respond to meet that." Prison rape. Just say it, JJ
April 20Apr 20 The TWolves shot 50% from behind the arc. Only one team with at least 35 attempts has ever done that in a playoff game and lost.

Refs will surely give them at least one game, I imagine.
