LeBron, Luka & Lakers get BEST NBA playoff matchup in Timberwolves & Anthony Edwards

Jason gives his early impressions of the 3 vs. 6 matchup in the Western Conference playoffs: the Los Angeles Lakers against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He explains why he’s glad LeBron James and Luka Doncic don’t have to face the Los Angeles Clippers or Golden State Warriors, and why LA should be favored against Anthony Edwards.

    Lakers legit got the best playoff picture. OKC, Nuggets, Clippers and GS(potentially) all on the other bracket. Not saying Lakers couldn’t beat those teams but it would be draining on them to play those teams straight through. GS just matched up well with the Lakers. They almost play similar styles defensively. I didn’t not want GS in the first round. Lakers couldn’t have asked for a better path to the WCF.

    I think this series hinges on Rudy – funny enough. If he gets played off the court, Minnesota will be in big trouble. But on the flip side, he could pose a lot of problems for LA if he plays well. People gotta remember all teams 3-8 had very similar records. I don’t expect many blowouts except OKC and 8 seed

    I see why people are picking the Lakers, I just think y'all are sleeping on the fact that the Wolves are 22-4 in their last 26 games and have proven to be able to beat good teams this season.

    I think the Wolves have the offense, defense, size and shooting to give Lakers problems.

    Rudy has been great for a few weeks now and if the Wolves use Randle and Ant correctly getting downhill, Rudy will be left in the dunker wiiiife open a lot.

    Hayes is the only one big enough to hang with Rudy and he is half the player. Lol

    One thing I pray Finch does is start Divincenzo over Conley, play Mike in the Gabe Vincent minutes.

    Divo makes a lot more sense.

    Im calling it now. Timberwolves are goig to doninate this series and people will be shook.

    If I was Finch, I would just have every Minnesota player (except the PG) just bumrush into the lane and take the 70-75% inside shooting vs 35-40% outside shooting from the other team. Exploit the lack of a bigman to the max.

    You guys are in for a treat with this wolves team having 6 days with brewing a game plan, can't wait for podcasts/networks like this one that are deluded by LeMedia propaganda that actually thinks this is a favorable matchup for them, can't wait to witness and soak in the incoming Laker despair…😊. Wolves in 6!!
