    Wow! I feel like the way the Wolves are playing without him is really damning for Gobert and at least his fit with this group.

    BTW, Alexander-Walker looks decent for MN, I scouted him when S2 had a mock draft and thought he could be a good two way player. Cronin traded him for future cap space.

    Getting outplayed head-to-head by Austin Reaves--in a game where his team clearly needs him to step up in crunch time to hold onto this lead--is not a great look for Anthony "future superstar" Edwards.

    If his team wins on the road, it won't matter.

    Lakers don't seem that good. LeBron doesn't seem to be really into it, unless he is about to get really serious.

    How bad are these two teams? I have never seen so many bad passes in one quarter in my life.

    Anthony Edwards has been horrible on offense all game. Where is his dribble-drive game?

    Not sure why t wolves want the ball in Edwards's hands, keeps making terrible decisions.

    It was pretty funny a couple of minutes ago when he got a good offensive rebound, dribbled it out to the perimeter, made a "it's cool... be calm" hand signal to a teammate and then bricked a contested three.

    I don't have anything against him, but that was a dumb play. haha

    Why not? The next game would be in Minnesota. And I assume they’d get Gobert back too.

    Nice foul by Anthony Davis. He’s lucky Conley didn’t make the shot.

    For all the calls the Lakers got in the 4th. That was pretty weak, but a foul.
