That looked like a goaltend.

Oh no, he got it. Replay showed it.

LeBron struggling when attacking Naz Reid one-on-one.

Now Gobert blocks LeBron in a one-on-one.

Attack their small guards. Not their bigs. LeBron is too old and too slow to be attacking their bigs. Use your bulk, your size, in an old man game against those smaller guards.

If the Bucks lose 1st round, I think Giannis asks for a trade. Even though MIL has done everything for him.

He would be absolutely perfect in Houston or San Antonio

Hate to say it but New York and Miami are other good options if they could pull it off

Dallas would be very interesting. Kyrie-Giannis-AD

Of course, we can joke about the Lakers getting him to. But I can't imagine the Bucks GM is Nico Harrison 2.0... right??

Towns for Giannis would be a very good trade for Milwaukee if they had to trade Giannis. In terms of being a win-now move rather than a rebuilding trade. It would be hard to get an individual player back that is better than Towns.

I don't think Giannis asks out this summer. The Lillard situation has muddied the waters too much. If Lillard was healthy and they lost, yeah I could see it. But I expect they will feel they could have been better had Lillard not had that blood clot and will give it another go next year. So I think they have another year of Giannis in Milwaukee before Giannis seriously considers whether he wants to stay or leave.

MIN has played much better with Randle off the floor?can?t say I?m surprised.

It has to hurt MIN fans to see KAT ball out in the game before this. What a nightmare of a trade.

Lakers should not panic. They have played stupid basketball for the last 8-10 minutes. Just calm down and execute. They will get back in the game.

Panic is the enemy here.

Reeves had a horrible first half. Yikes.
Quoting Nick from the now locked Ime thread:

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

Terrible foul to give there by LAL. No need to give a foul just because you have one to give. Jaden McDaniels was going nowhere. 30 feet from the basket. Back to the rim. No idea what he wanted to do. Nobody to pass to. Force him to make a play.

Instead they use their foul to give and end up giving Minny a better look a the rim which DiVincenzo hit. 3pts lost.

The biggest issues for the Lakers are lack of centers and defense. In that 2nd quarter it felt like MIN exploited them hard on both counts. Naz was fantastic and the Wolves in general have honestly had a lot of good looks. They just weren't making them in the 1st quarter especially Ant

Why on earth did ESPN hire Udonis Haslem? To make Perk look good in comparison?

I feel that way about a handful of ESPN's staff. Like why is the Warriors former GM (Bob Myers) not only on ESPN but also calling games?? Then you add Perkins, Haslem. It's going downhill. Only a few like Malika Andrews, Windhorst, SVP, Legler, etc. I feel are worth it because they are mostly respectful and give good opinions or reporting. Everyone else either screams, or are clueless.

Yeah, Bob Myers was painful to listen to during that DEN-LAC game. There just arent many good color commentators around anymore.
