This might be the way…

Ant has to make the skip pass.

What was the foul call for?

Rob minutes!!!! Finchy has one foot towards MSP. Getting ready for those trees on Sunday!!!

Reason for this likely loss: 1. Naz Reid. 2. Lack of Rudy involvement. 3. Fouls were called on the Wolves.

Lakers just cheating and daring the officials to do their very simple job.

Wolves are missing the Rudy feed. Need to do it.

Need to feed Rudy when Luka is sealed. Those are free Luka fouls.

Percent chance Reaves or Luka gets a whistle if they took the contact Jaden just took on that drive? (It’s a triple digit number)

If what Smart did to Randle is legal. Get a set of pads and a helmet.

Smart clearly fouls Randle… No call. Bucket for LA.

Lakers might get 50 FTAs tonight.

Finchy needs to protect Jaden with some of the calls he gets. When Jaden sits, the Wolves struggle. Challenge it, coach.

Luka is in LA for a reason. (Acting. It’s the acting.)

Challenge it! Luka flop,

I think they’ll call the flagrant here.

Naz is a half second slow on everything.

Clark on Luka. Grab your popcorn.

That’s a foul on Jaden?!?!

Challenge it. That’s two Laker fouls… And Jaden gets called.

Lakers are daring the Wolves to incorporate Rudy into the offense. Wolves aren’t doing it. Either you trust him to score on a small, or you sub him out and put in someone they need to guard.

Haslem just nailed it. Finchy’s gameplan for Luka (without LeBron) is to do what they consistently do with Jokic - make him be a scorer. Try to minimize the playmaking for teammates.

Marcus Smart looks like he’ll run out of gas early in the 4th quarter. Doesn’t look to be in basketball shape.

These calls are insane. Jaden jumped… but there was no contact.

Luka just got a call he was not called for as a defender. It seems he has a different whistle than others.

The Harlan-Parker-Wade crew on this prime broadcast might be the best national crew out right now.

This is the single most important thing to preserve the game. It’s a massive problem.

The fade isn’t the right cut for LaRavia. At least not a skin fade. Maybe stick with a 1/2 fade next time? I’m here for your NBA hair analysis!

Offensive goal tending is legal?! Rudy is about to feast!

Naz is getting pushed around by Jake LaRavia. I need Naz to be present. This is not a professional effort by him.

Rob. Finchy. Rob.

I really need Naz to be better. He looks off.

Candace (ball knower) is impressed with Minnesota’s depth. You listening Steve Nash?

I dunno… When Donte can’t catch the pass because Vincent is pulling his arm… That seems illegal.

Rob can cook in this game. These Laker reserves are traffic cones.

Get Rob in there.

Conley needs to retire.

Vikings/ Wolves fans can be heard on the broadcast.

So that call on Conley… Can Ant get that? Shooter jumps and leans into defender. Free throw.

I can’t wait to see Clark on Luka.

Naz is playing slow.

Luka bitches to the official after every miss.

You could see Julius recognize he needed to push pace after that last rebound. Started at his normal speed. Thought was triggered, put it in another gear. Pushing in transition will take time to become habit, but those habits are forming.

Austin Reaves needs to explore some hair product.

The obvious talking point for the Lakers is: Perimeter defense. The national media just ignores the gaping hole the Lakers have in that area. Any roster depending heavily on Reaves and Doncic NEEDS every other player on the floor to be a plus, plus defender… and it still might not be enough.

Steve Nash thinks the Wolves have a depth problem. They play the Lakers tonight. Steve didn’t talk about the Lakers depth.

Prime is spending a lot of time on the play-in Lakers. Meanwhile the back-to-back WCF, who easily eliminated the Lakers last year, are getting no coverage pregame.

Just getting it out of the way before tip off… Luka is a whiny bitch.

Jaden had 18p/5r/3b/1s If he didn’t get into foul trouble (Finchy should’ve challenged the flop), he finishes with even more. Wonderful game by Jaden. Love him off ball.

Ant’s handle looks improved.
