Yup. And Knicks/Pistons need to go the limit.

Besides OKC-MEM and maybe CLE-MIA it seems a lot of these series are gonna go 6+

I still think ours ends in 5, but we'll see.

I sure hope Lakers/Wolves go 7 with Minny winning. Or Minny win in general lol

[blink]

Lets go Twolves!!!

only a laker loss will make feel better about the refs refusal to review the clock at the end.

[Who]

Jaden McDaniels is off to a strong start. I love the aggressiveness he is showing looking to drive. He should play like this every night. The guy is a supreme athlete. He can get to the rim on anyone. Nevermind slow guys like Luka or small guys like A Reaves.

It's disgusting how much of an impact the refs can have on these games. Look at this Lakers game so far, MIN is playing with similar intensity and pace as Game 2, yet in Game 2 they were getting called for fouls early to let LAL tie a series, but so far today the refs are letting them play and MIN has a nice early lead so far. Not much is different in terms of physicality, the refs are actually letting them play and not sending LAL to the line every other play.

[Who]

Wow, 4 for 1 fastbreak for Minny against LeBron as the sole defender and Minny fail to even get a shot off. Have to pull the ball out and run halfcourt offense.

[Who]

Loving Minny's enthuasism and intensity to start the game. Everyone has contributed for them. All 8 guys for Minny have made positive contributions to this Q1.

[Phantom255x]

Gary Trent Jr with 37 points. Wow. Potentially a "season-saving" performance (for now)

[Who]

I'd love to see them call that offensive foul on LeBron. He just used his off arm to push off Mike Conley to create room for the layup. Blatant offensive foul.

League in general is terrible at calling offensive fouls.

[Who]

Minnesota just cleared out one side of the court to let Jaden McDaniels play one-on-one. The guy defending him was DFS - Lakers best defender. Why are you clearing out one side of the court to attack that matchup?

Bad lineup to open Q2 for Minny.

G: Conley = minimal utility offensive player
G: NAW = low utility offensive player
F: Jaden McDaniels = low utility offensive player
F: Naz Reid = good complementary piece, not offensive engine
C: Gobert = minimal utility offensive player

Minnesota's wrecked their rhythm with this lineup. Thankfully, they brought Randle back in at around 9:30 minute mark. They have to keep one of Randle / Ant on the floor at all times.

At least play DiVincenzo with those other 2nd unit guys. He has some offensive punch.

[Who]

This Lakers run is the fault of the Wolves' coach for putting that lousy offensive group on the floor together to start Q2. Thankfully, he realized his mistake and attempted to fix it quickly. Brought back Randle quickly. Then Ant and DiVincenzo. With Naz still out there. Those are Minny's 4 best offensive players.

Despite his best efforts to fix the issue, Minny had already lost all momentum and LAL had taken over. LAL have managed to keep it going with Minny struggling to get back into the game.

Lakers now up 2 near midway point Q2.
