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

[UK Cowboy]

Nobody can drive bc Gobert is in the middle and Vandy can’t suck him out of the paint bc he sucks

Vandy is a total pussy. He gets the great feed and goes to with that weak ass layup that gets stuffed in his face instead of dunking the damn ball. You're 6'8" dude. Now Maxi is out there tripping all over himself and throwing up bricks. It's over

Stop shooting 3s and take advantage of the Lakers soft interior defense. Am I in bizarro world or is this idiotic?

 

[msgkings322]

He’s gotta earn that $40M somehow

Playoff performances like this are a great way to do that

 

[Picklerick 2.0]

Edwards might cost us the mother fucking game. Stop shooting the fucking three.

 

[bksballer89]

That’s it boys

 

[Mebert]

Playoff performances like this are a great way to do that

Now we know if the team he is playing has nobody over 6'8", and none of those player understand how a boxout works, he is absolutely elite.

 

[msgkings322]

Ah well. Playoffs are less fun when LeBron and Luka are out. But Minny beat that ass

 

[Shanemansj13]

You can only go so long playing your starter huge minutes. Ask NY

Sometimes that's who you are matched up with. Like this series. Gobert in the right matchup can be pretty good to great

He’s pretty useless. He’s a SF playing center that can’t shoot

 

[Hambombs]

Lakers looked slow out there

 

[UK Cowboy]

Luka needs to get healthy and drop 20 pounds this offseason. The lakers need to rebuild the roster with shooters and defenders around Luka. Bron needs to consider calling it a great career

 

[HurricaneDij39]

Wolves in 6.

Lakers aren’t built for the playoffs. Luka and Reeves are going to be forced to play defense against Ant in a two man game with no rim protection behind them. And Randle and Gobert are going to bully the Lakers on the boards.

Lakers would need an unbelievable shooting display from deep to pull this off IMO.

Not bad…

 

[Mebert]

Edwards might cost us the mother fucking game. Stop shooting the fucking three.

The guy is a shooter, any shooter has to believe he can shoot his way out of an off night. All of his shots except the end of shot clock have been open. I am fine with him continuing the way he is going.

[Albuquerque Rams]

This is now the fourth time LeBron has lost a playoff series with homecourt advantage, something that never happened with Jordan.

It's also the fourth time he's lost a playoff series with a teammate averaging 25 PPG in the series. But LeBron apparently never has enough help.

From now on, anyone trying to make Jordan/LeBron seem like a plausible debate will be dismissed out of hand like a flat earther.

 

[VikingFan2k2]

Shaq better give Rudy his props.

 

[Mebert]

Nico smiling

Sure, he has been on vacation for 2 weeks now, hard not to smile when you get to relax so much.

 

[bksballer89]

Now let’s get down to the bottom of what they saw on that Mark Williams physical

 

[bksballer89]

Just a shit draw for the lakers. End up as the 3 seed and played a team that was a shitty matchup for you and also a team that most would have had in their top 4 teams out west entering the playoffs
