Just seems like the Lakers defense was not prepared for this team. Maybe even just poorly thought out. Like most of these 3’s are basically open catch and shoot, you can’t be giving up those kind of looks regularly to a team with shooting and expect to win.
Would be nice if we get podz, moody, post, and buddy to shoot 3s like all the ancillary wolves players. They're gonna blow out the Lakers. Is the defense that bad or they normally this good shooting - how did we win the season series v them

Desmond Bane looks like a Tae Bo instructor… 😂
Really hope we don’t shit the bed like the Lakers are tomorrow night.

LAL with a whopping 6 points off the bench.
Luka and Leb are going to be playing 35+ minutes (maybe more, if they can close it down enough to give them a chance, so there is no garbage time).
In the words of Kent “Flounder” Dorfman, “Oh boy is this great!”
Wolves 6/8 threes in the 3rd Q so far. Minnesota's dancing all over the Lakers defense.
Absolute massacre at the moment for the Lakers. You love to see it.
Who knows what happens the rest of the game (or playoffs), but for now I (and alot of other people) am thoroughly enjoying this.
Except ... I'm more convinced than ever that we want to face LAL next round (if we get that far). Minnesota is formidable.
My hatred for the Lakers is strong and irrational
Still only game 1 and Minny is knocking down all their 3s right now
true, but they are getting absolutely wide-open looks. There are very few contests.
Gotta focus on the Rockets first
I am capable of two thoughts at once. :)
Ouch. Luka ran into a jumping Randle.
Minnesota just looks like a physically stronger team, and they aren't really giving up quickness, either.
#5 team in the league per EPM, right behind the Warriors
I don't want to face them. They are getting wide open 3s and canning the shots. And, they are standing up Lebron and Doncic every now and then.
Warriors definitely blew it not getting the 6 seed and having homecourt in a potential Wolves series, just had to beat the Spurs
I'm not a fan of the broadcast being ahead of the game.
Minnie is totally going to blow this lead
Quite the turnaround from when the Lakers were up 15-7.
Keep pouring it on, Wolves!
Wolves killing the Lakers on dribble penetration.

Post-ASB Wolves had Randle and Ant playing out of their minds.
56% from three for the wolves not gonna last over this series, but it does make me dream of those guys hitting at a high clip.
11-0 run for the Wolves to start the 3rd Q
Luka crying for a call gives up an easy transition layup over elite rim protector… Austin Reaves.
He flopped on what was basically an open 3. Just embarassing
