Namibia Vibes II - Lakers at Wolves GDT

[rapsuperstar31]

1 turnover between Ant and Randle, huge!

105 points between Lebron, Luka, Rui, and Austin. 17/38 from three for 44.7% between them. We took their hardest uppercuts, and won it!

What a game, glad they could pull it out. Someone said it earlier in the thread, all those close games in the regular season and failures seem to be helping the Wolves now. Some luck involved too. Randle was a man possessed in that 1st half. Jaden stepped up in the 2nd, and some big buckets from Naz and Donte helped close it out.

I was watching it delayed. At some point during the second quarter I just found myself smiling as the game was going on. Anthony Edwards is so special with a basketball I can’t help but smile. We’re witnessing the most talented player this franchise has ever seen and may probably ever see.

People on here get too caught up on if he’s progressed enough or if he’ll ever truly be able reach his full potential and lead this team to a championship. Comparing him to other guys on other teams and I’m just here happy that somehow we were lucky enough to be in a position to draft the guy and him turning out way better than anybody on this board thought he would be. I find myself trying to stay in the present and grounded as much as possible because it’s so easy to think about 5/10 years down the line and who he could become as a basketball player but I find it takes the joy out of what I’m currently witnessing.

He’s far from perfect on the court and certainly off the court. I really hope he can lead this franchise to a title even though I know that’s hard as hell to do. Some of the game’s greatest players never achieved it. While I’ll be disappointed if he can’t win a Chip with this team I will still look back fondly on the amazing basketball talent we’re seeing and we get to see in a WOLVES jersey. Players with this amount of talent don’t come around often and certainly don’t land in Minnesota. I’m sure eventually he’ll end up a Laker (since they’re able to get generational players like it’s a video game) or the Knicks or another big market team. So I’m just gonna enjoy the time we have this talent on our team. The guy is grade A entertainment.

What was your favorite moment of the game?

Ant going on a tear in the 4th, 9 or 11? Straight, Naz continuing to never miss in the 4th, Ant getting physical with LeBron in the 1st half, or Luka's blown layup late.

Hard to pick.

[Phenom]

How big was that steal by Jaden?

That was enormous. So many enormous plays. Not th3 least or which was not having to draw up a play to score since Ant got to the line.

No DVR Review.

But I might go back and read the first 25 pages in this thread to re-bask in the win.

Edwards is building a solid playoff resume. Keep it going, boys... keep it going.

I didn't realize it as the 2nd half played out that the Lakers did not have any subs in the second half. That is an incredible stat and so telling of how Redick sees things in this series. Can his team buy in after something like that?

The extra day off will help in multiple ways.

But the Lakers really went with the haymaker to try to even the series.

I think my favorite part was the Donte and one with about 2 minutes left. It was at that point I started to believe.

Shame on me for jumping the gun, but correct me if I'm wrong. If we win our series and face the Warriors, we would have home court right? There isn't any reseeding after each round? I'm sure Kek knows this.

yep.

The only 2 times that has ever happened in NBA history was 1987 and 2023.

However, in both instances, the 7 seed won those series.
