    Neither of these teams deserves to win.

    1st free throw of the half came with .01 second left? God I hope the Lakers lose this after posing like dumbasses when they thought the game was over.

    The T-Wolves' offense in the last 4 minutes is almost coach-firing worthy.

    Stand with the ball when you got the lead with ball movement. Then fire up a contested 3 with less than 3 seconds on the shot clock. Kat is being guarded by 6-4 guys and instead of going into the post he's 22 feet from the basket.

    They looked utterly clueless.

    I hate the Lakers but this might be the worst calls I have seen in awhile cause the James foul was NOT a foul and that last foul on Davis did not even hit Conley til that shot was like half way to the rim. I want the Lakers to lose and all but cause the wolves beat them not stupid ass refs who should maybe be allowed to ref high school games at best.

    Is it possible to not let someone land if they never got off the ground?

    Edwards cannot make a shot to save his life at this point and looking like Lakers are going to move on as the 7th seed

    Edwards just gets worse. Took a contested two when he had Towns right behind him open for a three. then when the court seems to be opening for a drive from him, he pulls up for a three attempt.

    I am pretty sure this game doesn't count towards it, but if/when Edwards is ahead of Dame on the all-NBA team I know we're doing to point to this as an example of why he's not nearly as good as Lillard and Dame was robbed.

    (I watched Chris Hayes's ballot on YouTube today and Dame didn't make any of his top three all-NBA teams... which shocked me, but there are a LOT of good guards in the NBA.)

    KAT is one of the few guys that I could see us getting AND making a big difference while keeping Dame.

    (oops. quoted the wrong post. sorry :) )

    Edwards and Anderson playing this game like they have money on the Lakers.
