This is a classic Lebron first round exit in the making then everyone saying he needs more help
Clobbering is 9 points? 😂 dumb as fook
I missed spears 😂where my guy been sheesh I feel like I haven't seen him in forever !!
This team will go as far as LUKA takes them, that`s all, that what we all learn and saw
Timberwolves missed wide open 3s and good looks… And these clowns credit "Lakers creative defense". LMAO. Oh lord… I can't wait to see the Lakers go back home to LA down 1-3.
Lakers win 1 game in Minnesota and they get back home court advantage
Giannis wanted Dame, and he wanted the coach b4 Doc fired… to hire Doc… he has a lot to do with the current roster and coaching staff 😮😮
Coaching change
The biggest takeaway is that if LA is gonna win it all they will have to do it with their Elite defense. Vando's relentlessnes is the tip of the spear.
The Greek Freak went from "It's not a failure of a season" to "It's life or death".
JJ Reddick 😜 starting to like his straight forward passionate time out
Clobbers them? Lakers won by 9. That is not a clobbering 😂
When the Wolves take games 3 and 4 in Minnesota, i cant wait to hear what these Laker stans have to say 😅
Its playoffs baby 0:29
I noticed Kevin Gates was there LeBron where was dat energy u had 4 SAS😅😅😅
Lakers lose “Timberwolves should feel good”
Lakers win “Timberwolves should feel good”
😂😂😂😂
Wilbon a laker hater
why y’all tryna make Luka score 50 on Gobert 🤣🤣
You guys are terrible picking a couple of plays that he didn't hit shots on Big fella. He got the shots he wanted he rudy didn't force anything. If he hits those shots, you would say that this is going to push the lakers over the top in this series. Clowns!
1:42 can the fakers do this for the next 5 games?? Exactly
The refs worked really hard for the Lakers that night.
NBA is not going to let the Los Angeles garbage cans .. get booted in first round.
When you present stories, it is in essence dishonest not to say WHEN.
That LeBron is a big fat flopper and the refs are definitely trying to nudge the Lakers towards a series win. You're Stevie Wonder if you can't see those two things.
Is this thumbnail a picture of LeBron watching Luka play?
Travis Scott is genius
I’m rooting for the Lakers to advance but it won’t surprise me one bit if the TWolves win this series. Lakers have their hands full in this one
Any lakers fan who’s watched this team all year knows the lakers played completely out of character offensively these first two games. I expect the lakers to get back to playing the way they were during the regular season when they get to Minnesota. The LA home crowd was putting a lot of pressure on the lakers and the lakers were trying to show off and show out for the home crowd. On the road, I expect them to be a lot more crisp in their execution offensively, which is what will determine whether the lakers win or lose most nights. Game 2 was an outlier in terms of the sheer amount of defensive effort and the outcome for the lakers offensively, defensively, and winning the game.
This Michael Jordan comparison is laughable 😆 I can’t stop laughing lmao
You can make the stats seem whatever you want to. The Lakers benefited when. Go bear guarded them.
Lakers in 6. Should be 2-0 right now but wolves shot 60% from 3 lol
Yep I dont know why I’m even listening with these dudes lmao
“Clobbered” mean while the refs puts 4 key Timberwolves in foul trouble in the first half 🙄
😂 lakeshow bayybee!!
Vanderbilt putting on McDaniel was great idea.
These bald headed east coast dudes think lakers ain’t gonna make adjustments too?😂
3:40 this lady's a hater. Someone from the lakers broke your heart, sugar?
Wolves better hope bron doesn't go off tonight because once he decides to do so I believe this series will be over quick and I'm not just talking about scoring either
I don't understand. The lakers were up by 20 almost the whole game. The least it got was 9 points and the lakers shot 20 something % from 3, they got 5 less foul calls than the wolves and they still got basically stomped. So why are people now making Minny the favorites? Lol
Put Stephen A and Shannon on this panel and watch the views skyrocket
wolve cant win this series without physicality,, the current lakers is just that good.. they should put more physicality to bron and AR. Luka may be a great player but no single player can win a whole series. They should trigger AR, AR can be tilted since hes still young
Bro they talking about Tim's ain't play well and gonna be better we haven't played good both games only luka just wait tonight lemonpapi
Attacking Rudy is actually working. Can’t look solely at fig percentage. He’s fouled quite a bit of times and him being on the perimeter makes it harder for him to get in the paint and get boards
Lakers could win the next 3 straight and the media would say “BUT CAN THEY KEEP DOING THIS?” gimme a break
I thinks still wolves in 5 or 6 because of the size commom lakers dont have legit center
ESPN, update your graphics. Ant wears 5, not 1…
if the lakers offensive players stand in the corners for three pointers Minnesota will steam roll players need to move and cut two dead offensive players
The Lakers have played bad in the 1st 2 games. They probably won't lose again.
When the Wolves have literally the most iso plays in their history, Ant with 0 assists, Conley with 1 assist…this comes down to COACHING.
