Lebron hands the ball to luka and stands there doing nothing. Doesn’t set a screen, doesn’t cut across the court just waits for luka to create a bucket. He is giving no energy to the offense. Almost like he’s tired and resting from the start of the games.
Insert a defender for AR. Hes a defensive liability but a creator who can come off the bench for luka and LeBron. They need defense in place of AR.
Collin is talking like he hasn’t watched Minnesota since before all star break
The talent between the Lakers and Wolves is way closer than the experts thought. Lakers had 1 more win….1. And let’s face it, LBJ is 40. He’s going to have a limit of how many minutes he can play at that intensity. Wolves play better defense, have more size and better bench – more quality 3 and D guys.
Bron … looks 40….
Lakers will have 3-4 bad defensive players on the floor at all times.
They haven’t played defense all year now you expect them to play defense now,not happening.
Just a question. Why do some (every other one I’ve seen) cop camera footages have the date, time, etc and THIS ONE DOESNT. It’s almost like it’s FAKE, used to rule us up against one another🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
I said they wouldn't win without a big!
Why is it such an upset? They were separated by one game. Lakers looked slow out there. This isnt Minnesota's first rodeo.
The Wolves are playing on house money in game two.
Lakers= Dallas Cowboys. Overrated, overhyped, underachieving, soft.
Had all the help from the refs and still couldn’t keep it close lmaoooo
Whether it's a bubble, a pile of rubble or you got a double. Lakers in trouble
I wasn’t surprised!!!
Twolves play defense, Lakers do not. Twolves in 5.
The Lakers are a 3 man team and Austin Reaves I expect to have a hard time this entire series with the Wolves length. Lebron and Luka need to be Superstars to win this series!
We was like 20-30 mins into the game before the T Wolves got their first foul call 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤦🏾♂️.
He’s searching for something in this one.
"Expect the Lakers to be physical" Not in their DNA. Lakers are kinda like the Nuggets. Got some shot makers, but lacking dawgs.
I think everyone forgot the T-Wolves made it to the WCF last year. You really need to ask yourself is this Lakers team better than the Mavericks team that went to finals last year with Luka, Kyrie, really good bigs and good perimeter defenders.
Twolves bigger, faster, younger. They have shooters to surround Edward’s with, versatility, depth and lock down defense. The question has always been late game execution and Edward’s ability to read the defense and pass out of double teams, and he’s beginning to answer that question. Good luck LA. You may be rhyming your way out of the playoffs in round 1.
Maybe y’all can chill with all the LA playoff poems until you win something 😮
“Lebron was okay” LeBron played like hot GARBAGE
Colin flip flops more than i change my underwear then claims "new information" as his cop out
How was that a surprise? How are they underdogs? They are the better team. Lakers have the 2 stars and not much reliable talent after that.
Mini building off last year we act like we thought it was going be walk thru lol
Ever since the Lakers got Luka their defensive gameplan is to leave bad shooters open. The problem is all the wolves role players will hit open ones and the Lakers don't have guys who can play defense without helping.
A difference in the game was LEADERSHIP. Anthony Edwards has poured belief, confidence, and encouragement into his guys. He leads by being an intense 2-way player.
MN will sweep like they swept PHX last year
Colin, jmac and nick crying rn 😂
