    It’s the Luka effect.

    The best thing about him is his contract relative to his production.

    Edwards barely touched the ball in the last three minutes and kept passing away the ball. In the final minutes, he can't expect a pass from Randle, the ball hog. Not ready to do superstar things.

    Yes, despite the refs the Wolves didn’t play well. That’s why I hate that the Rockets are the second seed but playing one of the hardest teams in the conference instead of the Wolves or the Grizzlies. We should be playing one of those teams, not f**** Golden State.

    SMH. Tell me about it. One of the best bargains in the NBA for two more years.

    Yeah the system kind of screwed us but there's no excuse. I like to look at it as playoff experience for a team that realistically wasn't going to win the championship this year. Having a tough matchup like GSW can help our younger players develop faster and I'm excited to see what they look like after another summer of improving.

    A lot of fans are impatient but our core is literally a bunch of kids who are <23 years old. There is no reason to be freaking out and placing blame on coaches, players or staff. Anyone who was thinking straight could see there would be growing pains in our first playoff run. People forget or weren't on the bandwagon when this team was winning 19 games a season and a half ago.

    Expect foul trouble from a different group of Wolves. Maybe they'll go after Gobert and Randall tonight. Gobert low-key did a good job on Doncic. Even though he looked terrible and embarrassing, Doncic and the Lakers scored inefficiently when going at Gobert. Just factually correct. And Randall has had his best playoff moments in these past two games.

    The last game was a travesty from the first play. The Lakers would get swept if this was called fairly no matter if the physicality was ratcheted up. I mean, a supernova Doncic could beat the Wolves, but so far he hasn't been that outside of the first quarter/half.
