Series Thread: 1st Round: 3) LA Lakers vs 6) Minnesota T-Wolves

Yeah, can't have it both ways though. In thr end it's a 7 game series. The best team will advance

Well, if they dumped the stupid play in crap, there would be a reasonable rest period. The 9th and 10th seeds in the West were what, 8 or more games back of 8th? The ones in the East were tighter, but with slightly worse records. Do we really need to include sub .500 teams in the playoffs? The Heat were 8 games under, only 2 games better than Portland lol.

The Lakers in 6, maybe 5.

lol in 5, good luck with that

Wolves have underperformed long before we get playoff Gobert. I will keep hoping, but we all saw what Luka did to em last year.

Yeah, the entire boring format for the NBA playoffs works in huge favor of a team like the Lakers who can make better use of the extra days off than a team full of kids like the Wolves or Thunder

more annoying is what they do once the series start.....Cavs first 3 games are Sunday, Wednesday, Saturday.

Exactly what I mean. There's no reason the Lakers can't go balls out on defense when they are getting 2 days off after each game

The long shorts prevent any occurrences of balls out. Well, maybe old man Lebron...

That is something that's hard not to crack up to seeing Bird and Ainge running around in those nutters lol

Have to say took me a minute as when I first read it thought you meant shots and not shorts (and weren't sure what the hell you meant).....well played.

Lakers in 6...

My late prediction...

 

[HurricaneDij39]

Won’t say this too often, but… Go Wolves.

No seriously though their time is kind of now… Their non-Ant core is going to age itself out soon, Utah controls many of their upcoming picks while San Antonio and Sacramento control their 2030 and 2031 picks, respectively. Yikes.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Probably going to take a nap soon but I am so ready for this game to get started.

 

[Black Adam]

Here goes nothing...

 

[DJ Fieri]

And away we go.....

Don't like it, write your congressman...

Crazy to see Mavs fans cheering for Luka bc they hate their FO so much. You never see this but you also never see a mega superstar traded in his prime w/o him asking out

Heard how much heat he's taking for that on ESPN earlier(their GM)...

9 pm bedtime?

9 pm bedtime?

Nah, I should be able to catch all of this since it's not a 9pm CST start.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Mind your business, @thunderc.....

LOL.
