Gentleman's Sweep - Wolves at Lakers GDT

[Q-is-here]

Did the Lakers add some players to their bench that Reddick will play? Maybe some length?

Well, Maxi Kleber is listed as "Questionable" for the first time since he came over with Luka following foot surgery...

I mean, he's certainly serviceable, but the problem is he isn't a lob threat, so he does nothing to put pressure on the rim, which opens up options for Luka's play making. Also, they probably need another player that can handle the ball and create some offense for short stints as the dropoff from Luka/LeBron/Reaves is precipitous so those guys are playing killer minutes. Kleber won't help with that either.

The Lakers have their backs to the wall, so you can expect they are going to give us everything they got. Look at the start to the game the Rockets are putting up in a similar situation. Also, I don't like how are guys play when they are feeling all they have to do is show up to win. On the other hand, I don't expect JJ to do anything different tonight, so we can expect another poor 4th quarter from the Lakers. As others have said, keep it within 10 after 3 and we have a chance. Let's go!

FNG, they gave us everything they had in game 4. I wonder if they have much left tonight. Although I Did hear an equine pharmacist showed up with a small package for Lebron, so he may have that same jump.

Haha, we can only hope, Cool. It looks like Warriors/Rockets will play at least one more game, so it would be nice to have the extra rest. I have to say though, I thought they would be exhausted Sunday on just 36 hours rest, but they were quite impressive for 3 quarters...especially their two stars. Just gotta keep it close until then.

Most of the podcasts I listened to stop short of saying the Wolves will win the series now. It always what the Lakers are and aren't doing.

I hope the Wolves go and disappoint them all tonight.

Let's get it.

Gotta play with the poise of a team up 3-1, even if they build a big lead.

At the same time, we've gotta play with the energy of a team tied 2-2 or even down 1-3.

[TAFKASP]

They had about a dozen offensive rebounds on the trip, zero points! LOL

[SameOldNudityDrew]

Gobert using his size on offense. Nice to see as they go small (as long as he's making shots and avoiding turnovers).

Ant and Jaden gotta be careful about fouls.

Interesting choice for Luka to foul Rudy and get his 2nd
