    Minny needs to attack the basket every time. Lakers don't have interior defense.

    Rockets did this literally the majority of game 3, and it resulted in Jalen not able to do anything because more often than not he can barely ever beat his man off the dribble.

    Rockets did this a lot throughout the season, and then coincidentally went away from it down the stretch of games because he is horrid once that trap comes.

    Did the ABC crew really not see that foul earlier?

    LMFAO - the commentary team so adamant the entire time LeBron doesn't foul - even though the baseline cam clearly shows he smacks the wrist of Edwards.

    Then their stunned utter silence when the hawkeye cam comes into play and clearly shows the LeBron foul.

    How the f*ck did we go from JVG to this garbage.

    Lakers are finished

    Wolves should be favorites against us or GS as well…they’re WCF bound again IMO

    There's zero chance Edwards is available anymore, however unlikely it was beforehand anyway.

    Man. Imagine him on this team instead of Jalen. Sheesh.

    Ant Edwards without a doubt, has IT.

    Much respect to the T-Wolves. When the Lakers were down 4 and answered with two-straight 3-pointers to go up 2 with 1:30 left, I thought the T-Wolves were done.

    Gritty and clutch, plus they have a superstar to pull the wagon. Their offense isn't great, but in crunch time, they execute well when their cheat-code player is doubled up.

    EDIT: As far as Ant leaving, at no point during the season did he ever signal that. He was just ticked off about their offense, which is much better now.

    The old guard has to crumble for the new guard to take the torch. Guys like Lebron and Steph had their run, it's time for the young teams to take the mantle.
