It's just respect for the youngsters
Btw shout to him to give mcdaniels praise he played great
Lebron retire already chasing 5th ring in year 22 is tuff. Kobe had won his 5 th championship in his 13th year big difference
Laqueen doing Laqueen things, key turnover & stands around. No hustle back on D & leaves early before game ends🤷♂️
FAKE GOAT😂
Even if LeBron scoring 50 points he can't carry the team no more …funny to say this but as for winning he's done but for stats he's the Goat
He tries to sound smart but actually proves his ignorance!
They are playing us. They are trying to stretch this to game 7!
Got to get in the paint and Luka has to pass the ball and stop hogging the ball!!!!
This series not for Haynes!!!!
He knows he can't do anything with this team. Just aimed to get his 30 and then cruised. The role players he has are jokes
Rui and Haynes should not start the game. Defense first!!!!
Stupid for not running jaxson hayes to protect the paint somewhat
Dalton weak as he'll inconsistent
Luka has been carrying him, it was time for LeBron to deliver and carry Luka while sick
Lakers are cooked, they should not have lost that first game ! Lebron is NOT the Goat people . He washed !
Quick insights for anyone betting on this series:
First things first: The Minnesota Timberwolves have never hoisted a Western Conference Championship banner. That legacy of near-misses fuels their current playoff intensity, amplifying the stakes.
Rewind one year ago to the "Roommates Show," where Julius Randle candidly revealed his NBA journey. Despite boasting a standout stretch of consistent 20/10 performances, Julius was sidelined financially when LeBron's arrival at the Lakers evaporated LA's available resources. Forced to navigate mid-level scenarios, he bounced through New Orleans and New York before finding stability with Minnesota. Here, Randle has posted impressive averages of 19 points, 7 rebounds, and 5 assists on 48.5% shooting. The Timberwolves made a simple yet powerful promise to Julius: an authentic opportunity to elevate into an elite player, precisely what he's been chasing his entire career. For Julius, LeBron James isn't just a rival—he's the benchmark, the standard he's actively measuring himself against.
Analyzing the current playoff pulse: Minnesota's road win in LA is a vivid indicator that the Lakers might not be championship-ready yet. The Lakers regrouped impressively in Game 2, driven by new personnel and coaching adjustments. However, beneath that win were alarming signs of fatigue. Game 2 required near-perfect execution at the free-throw line and a poor performance by the Timberwolves at an away game.
Now consider this critical question: Have you ever delivered your best performance after your hope seemed crushed? Game 4 in Minnesota will push the Lakers into precisely this scenario—a test they're structurally ill-equipped to pass. Why? The Lakers lack reliable depth and efficient bench solutions for their star players. No rotation can consistently outmaneuver Minnesota's defensive toughness and well-distributed offensive threats. While consistency is a personal discipline, examining regular-season patterns reveals a balanced 2-2 split, yet both Timberwolves wins came by decisive 10+ point margins. Many observers stress Anthony Edwards as Minnesota’s linchpin, but the reality is deeper. During those critical regular-season victories, Edwards struggled. The actual driving forces were Julius Randle and Rudy Gobert—players ideally suited to exploit LA’s current roster vulnerabilities, particularly inside. You don't count out LeBron James, but unless Luka Dončić combines with LeBron for sustained elite-level play, turnovers vanish entirely, and the Lakers' bench rises to provide consistent relief, the scales tip heavily toward Minnesota.
Bottom line prediction: While my heart favors a Lakers triumph, strategic analysis overwhelmingly points to a 4-2 series victory for Minnesota. The Timberwolves' relentless physicality, defensive intensity, and balanced scoring distribution currently overshadow the Lakers' resilience and star power.
I'm surprised the Refs didn't help the Lakers win this game
Refs did what they could for Lebron at least. Lebron played 41 min and had 0 fouls… I mean how in the world does he never really get called for anything?
Dalton Knekht is the key for lakers !
Dalton Knekht is the key for lakers !
Jaxson Hayes is terrible.
The “goat” got destroyed by the wolves 😂😂😂
They need to put bronny in man 😅
Why do you walk out on the games? 🎤
Longevity Wise he deserves the Crown👏🏀
Series is over
19 turnovers were weird
DAMN my Lakers
LeFlop needs to start playing defense before he retires. Clown.
"Ain' no party like a Diddy party."⛹️
No excuses but doncic vomiting and playing sick sure it was a factor for the lost 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
You see how Lebron doesn't want to give Antman crown – LOL! During the Olympics got him to slowdown on being the face – crazy how passing the torch to some people makes them feel worthless. Wade passed the torch to Lebron while Wade was in his prime. Do the same – move out the way of the game – and keep being the great ball player. SIMPLE AS THAT!
Looks like fans didn't realize that Timberwolves is a great team
Play Dalton knecht instead Finny smith or Vincent
La Bro was Good!
Not the time to be friendly when th Ant!!! 😡 Mamba Mentality! 💪
We need more shooters!
PLAY DALTEN KONECT!!!
RUI needs to Step-Up!!!
LeBrand i am not the problem" james
38 points
LAKERS NOT PLAYING WITH URGENCY!!!! LAZY!
Luka fr sold bro and got sick 😂 if he dropped 30 pts which is his playoff avg lakers win this one and AR sucks this series tbh
lakers are terrible team. problem is they don't have any good ball handlers at all. too many turnovers, can't creat good shots and can't even make free throws
They had to food poison my boy to get a win! Nobody gone mention that though!
The only reason Luka & AD trade was valuable is only because of health. AD was a better player on both sides. Luka can only score & when he can't do that he's no kind of threat
Damn clicked on to hear Bron blaming Luka 🤦🏾♂️
“At the end of the day it’s just basketball” incoming😂
👑 had 38 and no help
Lesteroid once again coming up short
Does LeBron gas any other expression that he feels makes look smart.
Every press conference he repeats " control the controllables"
Lol
Pretty obvious he only finish high school.
Luka play bad we lose simple as that he go get active in game 4
When LeBron wade and Bosh were making fun of Dirk when he was sick…what happened??? MJ better take that shoe contract from Luka for being soft like charmin.
