(3) Lakers vs. (6) Timberwolves First Round Playoff Series Thread

[QUOTE=Manny98;14998977]Game ball goes to Randall, he's had a fantastic series :applause:[/QUOTE]

In what universe to you live? Hello? Are you there? Gobert just had a 20/20 game, a career high in the playoffs and Randle didn't score a point until the 4th after he had 8 in the first quarter before he got in foul trouble.

Poor manny :facepalm

Xiao Yao You has been waiting 10+ years for a night like this :oldlol: Talk....yo....shit..... xaio :oldlol:

[QUOTE=Meticode;14998974]He was 35 years old, and several years removed from his prime Chicago days. Poor comparison.[/QUOTE]

What about the 1999 first round series against LA? Not only his scoring efficiency but the back-breaking turnover in Game 1 up 1 point with 7 seconds to go which led to game-winning FTs by Kobe.

What about quitting on his team in the 1994 semis?

Love Ant, but not impressed with him tonight. He just hasn’t [I]consistently[/I] taken the next step we expected yet, and it shows in key moments like this. Like his Game 7 against the Nuggets, however, it’ll be easy to live down thanks to the closeout win.

Credit to Gobert. :applause: Career playoffs performance tonight. No doubt the Wolves would be ticketed for a pressure-packed Game 6 without his efforts.

Surprising fact: this is LeBron’s first loss with HCA since 2011. Fourth of his career.

Hes a troll. That is his schtick

Seen it for more than a decade. Nice to see for the old guy though

Edwards shot 0-11 from three. Dante 2-11, Randle 1-6, Alexander-Walker 2-9, McDaniels 0-2 and fouled out...and the Lakers still lost. :roll:

I mean Randle has an argument since he was the Wolves best player in the series and had a strong finish to this game. Rudy had one game all series where he showed up big time at the hands of a bad Redick strategy. I would still give the game ball to Rudy but Randle definitely has a case

[QUOTE=Meticode;14998962]When the Lakers traded for Luka it wasn't to win right now. It turned out better than expected when they went on that little run in February/March then people overreacted because the playoffs are a different beast where more is required you. Especially time.

If this was LeBron's last game, he went out with a wimper.[/QUOTE]

LeBron can still play but the days of him playing heavy minutes are over. Lakers need to tarde him and if he wants another shot at a last title, he needs to reevaluate himself and accept a 6th man role on a title ready team.

LeBron finished with the worse +/- on the team tonight. -14. Wooof.

Lets not discount garzas cheerleading

Randle showed heart and tenacity. Gave the Wolves buckets when they needed it most in the late 4th. Thats what the Lakers have been missing this series. An actual closer. Lakers should have never traded him. Rather have Julius than LeBron’s 40year no defense old corpse on the Lakers
