Namibia Vibes II - Lakers at Wolves GDT

[Jester1534]

Props to Julius Randle. Never have a changed an opinion on a player more than Randle. What a gamer.

Never underestimate athletes willingness to do whatever they’re asked of to win.

Nothing was more telling to me when he made those comments that this first time he's had a legit shot at playing for something.

We have them softened up now, I expect to win in 5. And then we will wait for the geezer warriors next.

What a great crowd

I got to give it up for Randle. He played his ass of today. He has got a lot of sh.. on this board but he has been very good.

Just typed the same thing. What a turnaround on the season

His hustle and toughness have been so great for us, as long as he plays within control. Definitely way better than his playoff reputation so far.

Poetic justice that changed rule favored us this year

I just want that series to go 7 one way or another.

I honestly thought we'd lose after the refs fucked us. But they stayed fair late. Congrats the the NBA for fairish reffing, especially on that Ant review. That was close.

That's now twice in two clutch time games where we won a challenge that was close. If the NBA really wanted to tip the scales for the Lakers, those reviews were their best shot at it without being super blatant.

He was the #1 guy in prior playoff appearances, right? I think he's finding himself in favorable matchups and without a bunch of bodies being thrown at him. Ant is taking that pressure off him.

See, you're jaded. Most people would say that was an obvious foul on Lebron. But you're so used to the Lakers getting over you can't see it. That's okay, the league took one from the Pistons today.

I've been disappointed by Houston, hoping that they would compete better against Golden State. They are a case study in why you need a #1 alpha dog, even if an imperfect one like Ant. They just can't generate good offense often enough. Jalen Green and Sengun aren't good enough yet.
