    Not playing Jaxson Hayes is foolish. Luka thrives with a lob threat and Hayes is a great lob threat. The Lakers have a terrible bench as is so without Hayes, they just don't have enough decent NBA players to compete.

    Luka is hurt now so the Lakers season is over but JJ Reddick has not done well in the playoffs. He's a rookie coach though so mistakes are understandable. He'll probably get better with experience.

    JJ is the new Steve Nash

    playing your starters the entire 2nd half like he did last game is insane…even Thibs would be like

    Lakers had a 10 point lead to start the 4th too. U mean to tell me u couldn’t buy the starters a couple minutes?

    Wolves are killing the Lakers inside but they keep settling for 3s.

    Is anyone else shocked to this series officiated fairly? Why can't we get the same treatment?

    He could play smarter. Settling for some BS shots.

    Doncic and the refs took the game over.

    The Lakers look gassed, like they just played last night. They look old and slow.

    Wolves need LeBron to get more involved, and Doncic less involved. That's their only chance of winning tonight.

    Why don’t the Lakers play Len Zen or Hayes at C? I mean it can’t be worse than small ball for them?

    That's a non-call, but more of a foul on LeBron than DiVincenzo.

    Waited 5 seconds to call that foul. Didn’t do it till they saw it was LeBron. This is pathetic.
