Bummer, wanted this to go 7....still could but less likely now

What I was asking in the other thread about the end of the Pistons gsme.

Since it was an out of bound review, they are able to look at a possible foul. In the Detroit game there was no review for an out of bounds play.

Far from over. Not saying LA wins but Minny is playing great ball, more depth and the younger squad. Ant is the best player in this series too

If I'm the Lakers I'm calling bs. But that isn't allowed on this forum so I guess tough titties laker fans!!

We mature on this board. We don’t bitch about refs

Slipping doesn’t negate a foul lol

I am aware, I was just commenting on how big of an impact the challenge has on the game now. It was a completely reasonable miss by the refs, we all watched slow motion replays and could not see it until that last angle was found. The call was correct, but just odd.

3-1 is quite simple to come back from as the team with HCA. Hold serve in game 5 and find a way to win a freaking road game

So much respect for LeBron. At his age to play the minutes he is playing and to be making defensive play after defensive play down the stretch in the 4th is just nutty.

He comes back next year and doesn’t decline and the Lakers tweak the roster just a bit and this team is a true title contender.

If the Lakers are eliminated before WCF, I need to know what they saw on Mark Williams physical to not accept that trade

They could really use him in this series

Yep. Him on this team and this series is 3-1 the other way.

Zero 4th quarter points from Bron. JJ needed to find a way to get him a rest

 

[DJ Fieri]

JJ deserves some blame for this loss.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Bron is 40 but he played 46 minutes.

The problem is they couldn't afford to rest him. It is literally LeBron and Luka vs the Timberwolves.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Luka also played 46 minutes and he had the stomach bug or flu or some shit.

 

[bksballer89]

They could have. You don't rest both at the same time. You take Lebron out for 2 minutes then call a timeout which is a minute in real time rest. Could have done the same for Luka but Lebron is my main focus right now considering his age

Could, but they could have won the last two games even without him. Luka was sick last game and they had a bunch of stupid error turnovers. Reaves was fucking terrible this game. If they could just play up to their potential, they could win even without having a center.

 

[Picklerick 2.0]

Yep. Him on this team and this series is 3-1 the other way.

We didn't see the results tho did we?

 

[bksballer89]

There are mandatory timeouts under 7 and under 3 in the 3rd then i believe another one under 7 in the 4th. If you take them out just before the mandatory timeout then you are getting close to 5 min break for Lebron and/or Luka

With how some of the support has been playing, what is the harm of giving Knecht some minutes?
