AND kept waiting for them to get dominated on the boards. Finally happened tonight. Gobert was feasting.

TheChipiboy | LAL

47 | 9 days ago

Yeah the lack of lob and interior threat makes it easy and predictable to defend. If they can’t have interior presence their scoring can’t keep them in just with perimeter shots.

We saw it the Celtics game and they were on fire from 3 that game.

Clipgang1629 | Clippers

101 | 9 days ago

It’s really not a tough decision tbh. They gotta trade reeves, Knecht, their picks, and anyone with perceived positive value to bring in players that suit Luka if they wanna win with him and Bron.

Or they can hold onto their assets and try to go with a cheaper Center and wait for free agency once Bron is gone to make trades for a roster that works well with Luka and whoever they sign in FA.

Spooky-Paradox

yup and then once they have all that in place, trade Luka just like the mavs did

raegartargaryen17 | Lakers

237 | 9 days ago

The Lakers are aware of the back injury and still traded for him, when the physical came back they decided to veto the trade so it probably looks really bad.

Taking the risk on Mark Williams wasn’t even necessary just trade someone for Valancunias and let your star pick and roll player actually play his game

So the “fleece of the century” results in (1) more playoff win. Lakers in 5 is hilarious in hindsight, it really came true.

ShadowOutOfTime | Lakers

186 | 9 days ago

Lakers in 5 was hilarious yes, but the trade was bad because Luka is 25 and AD is 32, not because the Lakers were suddenly gonna win a championship

RobtheNavigator | Timberwolves

51 | 9 days ago

Yeah, it was obviously a great trade for the Lakers long-term, it just also left them with a massive hole that they will need an off-season to fill

Spierre3

84 | 9 days ago

I know you’re being facetious but the heist is that you get 5-10 more years to build a team around Luka to have a chance. With AD you had maybe 2-3

MrFishAndLoaves | Pelicans

44 | 9 days ago

I think they are actually serious lmfao

NavalEnthusiast | Thunder

60 | 9 days ago

It’s still a fleece but the lakers after denying the Mark Williams trade had too many flaws to be serious title contenders. No rim protection, limited defensive personnel.

I think that one week where the lakers were the best defense in the league fooled a lot of people. That wasn’t sustainable and their offensive issues didn’t help

Gobert had that Luka step back shot from last year burned into his mind. He wasn’t giving Luka the opportunity to do it again.

Probably will get buried but Gobert really clamped up Lebron imo. Luka did ok against him (esp if you factor in passes) but I felt like he locked Lebron all the way up. Lebron has never felt so much like a 40-year-old as this series to me.

YN_Decks

That and the T-Wolves just have athletic and lengthy defenders (Jaden McDaniels, NAW, Ant) who can take turns punishing guards.

As a Nuggets fan… The Wolves were perfectly constructed to beat the Nuggets last year not only because they had three 7-footers to defend Jokic, but they had such a variety of defenders to swarm Jamal Murray.

The Wolves shot worse from three tonight (7-47) than the Rockets team who missed 27 consecutive 3s (7-44).

The fact that they still won that game with that and with the less than perfect officiating is just crazy. They were truly a substantially better team.

When they interviewed the laker (I don’t remember who) after the third quarter with the wolves up 1, she asked something like “how did it feel to finally get the lead earlier in the quarter?”

cantonic | Timberwolves

59 | 9 days ago

Obviously losing weight would help, but honestly he just needs conditioning. If he’s pushed to contribute on every play, he’s gassed too early to make a difference. He can’t handle the minutes they need to give him and it shows every game.

Luka had a game where he deliberately picked out Rudy several times in the last few minutes and went 1-6 from the field. There’s a reason that people pass when he’s in the paint.

I think a lot of us Lakers fans were delusional thinking about Luka and LeBron overcoming the issues that the Lakers have in the Playoffs.

The Wolves’ defense straight up bullied us. We looked shook — couldn’t get into sets, couldn’t run in transition, and every possession felt scrambled. No poise at all. Just erratic basketball the whole way, and that’s 100% because of how physical and locked in the Wolves were.

No center, no fast break points, no bench spark. Just a mess.

GG Wolves.

They’re just better. Previous games Ant cooked in the clutch, this game Gobert grabbed board after board with Randle bullying all the tiny guys (and Luka) on him.

LeBron and Luka were nowhere to be found in the 4th. A combined 8 points. Injuries or not, that’s laughably bad in an elimination game.

Imagine u have the greatest basketball player of all time on ur team and u get gift wrapped a top 5 player on a HOF trajectory in the middle of the season just to have Rudy Gobert put up the game of his life to end ur season. Unfortunately for the Lakers, they don’t have to imagine

Edit: already getting tired of it so: yes LeBron is the GOAT and no that was not the point of this comment so move on

Because getting a fast 3 was the only shot they had of coming back at that point.

Winning 3 straight and finishing off LA on the road was never going to be easy. A lot of adversity this game and self inflicted wounds but we pulled it out.

Doesn’t feel as good as finishing Phoenix or Denver right now, but that was a damn impressive WOLVES IN 5

If Luka runs back on D maybe they would win instead of complaining to the ref. Just gives free points on fast breaks constantly. Idc if your an all time great on offense your never going to win a chip giving up free points every time you don’t get a call
