The Los Angeles Lakers 2024-2025 NBA Season

[DJ Fieri]

They also aren’t going to hit 50% and 21 3’s in a game again even if they have those open looks.

The odds are in the Lakers favor to play the odds and let some of those guys jack up 3’s.

They just hit above average in game 1. Odds are, they won’t ever do that again.

They hit 37.7% from 3 as a team this season.

Sure but wide open looks are much better than contested 3's.

Ate too early and that may have been a mistake.

Could be asleep by the time the damn game starts.

I ain't going to be on as much tonight. My wifi is off and I am on my phone. Just crap. So I'll be posting way less tonight.

 

[Retroram52]

They put Hayes on Edwards and that is working pretty good.

This is a low-scoring affair here in the First Quarter!

It is pretty obvious the Wolves are under no pressure to keep up with the Lakers tonight. They are planning on going back to Minneapolis and then they will ramp up play.

That is a massive mistake. They are a team full of kids. Zero reason to save energy when you have 2 days off between games. They had a chance to step on L.A.'s throat, go up 2-0 knowing a split at home makes it 3-1. Instead, the Lakers will go in to Minneapolis knowing a split there makes it 2-2 and gives home court back to the Lakers. That's why young teams struggle in the playoffs. You have to know when to seize the moment

I can see why Luka bitches at the refs so much. If he got the whistle LeBron used to get he would average 40 a game. Guys have been banging him all game long.
Meanwhile, the Lakers have a nice lead but their role players better start hitting more open shots or that's going bye bye

 

[Retroram52]

The Wolves got the lead down to 15 points from a high of 24. The Lakers fool around, the Wolves may just go on a scoring spree in the Second Half and the Lakers could be facing a potential sweep.

 

[Retroram52]

The lead is back to 18 points as the Third Quarter is coming to a close.

Hayes has his head up his ass

Reaves playing like shit

 

[UK Cowboy]

TWolves are about a dirty bunch lol

 

[Retroram52]

The Wolves are within 11 points. Lakers are holding on.

 

[Retroram52]

Reaves has become the new DRuss for some unknown reason this year. He just has not shown-up yet in this post season.

 

[Retroram52]

Well shit. The Wolves are just 9 points down because the Lakers are doing what they seem to do well. That is they go home early thinking they have the game won when they don't.

 

[Retroram52]

The Lakers lost double digit leads to win by 9 points. The Wolves have to be really bolstered by this game by almost winning Games 1 and 2 heading back to Minnesota for Game 3. The Lakers continue to be tenuous and they are not playing with any sort of consistent confidence. This could be their downfall going forward.

Someone besides Luka and LeBron has to step up for the Lakers if they are to win this series. Lots of guys getting wide open looks and clanking it over and over. This is the NBA, wide open should be automatic

 

[DJ Fieri]

We won!!!!

 

[DJ Fieri]

Need to try and sweep them in Minny.
