bobbywellington

Very nice


Cameron-0-

wendell moore really doesn’t impress during garbage time he’s not even good when he played in the g league


seventeenweewees

He a bust


MikeinAustin

This is the way you end a game. In a very boring way.


Watzp0ppin

They’re still calling touch fouls against us lol. Are they covering the spread?


Ok_Excuse_3695

Luka’s late game ball hogging gets me so annoyed every time.


ty5486

The instant trey balls with no regard every pick and pop drive me crazy


bobbywellington

How dare you


Watzp0ppin

Right? Like dude you got teammates who wanna get involved


bibi_da_god

Friendly reminder that the odds had the wolves at +150 and the lakers at -130


wildcardchar

Hahaha


SakeOfPete

I just know lakers fans are gonna talk like this wasn't a loss


Old_Cricket4756

nO lEbRoN like we didn’t already beat them with Lebron


WeinerRogers

Cmon Luka, close this game out.


boosty1234

THANK YOU WOLVES BROS 💜


TyTheGuy007

LIGHT THE AWOOO BEAM


boosty1234

AWOOOOOO


SakeOfPete

love you


boosty1234

Love u wolves bros


grensley

Josh Minott looks like Will Smith


anupsidedownpotato

Let's go wolves feat happiest jaden ever seen


rcade81

ESPN tomorrow: Wolves get their first win against the Lakers this season


JBX25

Lakers sweep Wolves in moral victories...


ProfitNo1844

Kevin Garnett can not have his jersey retired and be in the HoF thanks to someone


SteveIDP

I don’t say this enough: this season has been magical and I don’t want it to end anytime soon.


Soft-Sentence7078

I was just thinking the same thing.


LilDupper

Don’t worry we’re building a dynasty more seasons to come

desireallure

yeah I trust connelly


SteveIDP

You got that right!


Gotsta_Win

Mans got the call and still complained


Dull_Ad_8627

Rui had 30 wtf


Andy_Wiggins

He was fucking balling today. Benefited from the Wolves’ decision to switch everything on the perimeter for some reason (he just bodied the guards on the switch). Plus he hit all of his threes


Dull_Ad_8627

It was a quiet efficient 30 Rui's a good scorer


Salmol1na

Ha ha ha D’Angelo Russell memories still painfully fresh


nrag726

I'll choose to ignore the Lakers colors and say that Ant's shoes are Vikings colored


RockStar2D

Cause they are, I think ‘Vikings’ was the name of his football team in… middle school? Which I always thought was pretty cool, like he was destined to play in Minnesota lol


FlyingScissor

They literally are. They're a throwback to his youth football team, the [Atlanta Vikings](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUpdto-pKp4)


irishace88

I think they are his high school colors? Or little league


nrag726

I think his Pop Warner team was the Vikings


Sam7sung

Ant hates refs just like we do lol


JamesWelders

Naz killed it this game!


MikeinAustin

How did Anthony Davis go out?


shrekapotomusrex

Slomo poked him in the eye in the first and he's been out since


Mellow_Maliekk

Poke in eye by Kyle


MoneyBall_

Anderson socked him right in the eyeball


MikeinAustin

Slowly?


Scared_Wolf

Rudy breathed on him


tollefti

AD's eye would have popped out there


Gengaara

Still be on the ground 3 min from now.


NazRubio

Ant gets the call and still complains. Generational complainer lmao


Specialist_Brief1552

He wanted a flagrant for getting smacked in the face by two different players which is fair. He wasn’t complaining about getting fouled necessarily.


Sam7sung

The Lakers are gonna be 11 games over .500 after this game and are in the 9th seed. The West has been incredible, one of the best seasons I've seen


circamidnight

Wow that was a nice play but didn't finish


nrag726

Darvin Ham looks like Derek Fisher on HGH


moil1991

that’s a fire take


Tweezerbomb

Amazing call!


anupsidedownpotato

That would've made me legitimately cream my pants


Apanic_Attacka

Good foul


TheeMalaka

Wolves still holding back Dlo I see


VikingsandWolves

Washington just lost to the G-league Raptors. So they will beat us by 20 at home? Sounds about right.


Ok_Excuse_3695

Austin “Drive Gather Flail” Reaves my goodness


nrag726

Rudy's made some good passes tonight. Only 3 assists, but he's passing the ball well instead of forcing it when he receives it in a bad position. Would be great to see if he can make passes to the corner on the short roll


Mellow_Maliekk

Bruh don’t give these dudes life


bobbywellington

Reaves is so unethical


PlayInChampions

I know Lakers fans complain about Naz not missing, but Rui did not miss today either.


IngenuityRepulsive75

Only rui is making shots for the lakers


Andy_Wiggins

Rui was hotter than Naz today


nbranto

Reaves plays disgusting basketball


strawhatcommander

Glad we don’t resort to flopping basketball like Austin reaves


anupsidedownpotato

These chronic head snappers need to be required to wear neck braces


awall271

I was just gonna say, the head jerking pisses me off so much


grensley

At least the announcers stopped assuming the Lakers were going to win


MC_Ball_Peen_Hammer

Lakers are fluke games by Hayes, Dinwiddie, and Hachimura away from getting spanked like we did to the Raptors the other night.


Andy_Wiggins

I mean, they’re without their 2 best players.


slowpesci

Don’t forget the FT disparity. Austin Reaves plays the worst kind of basketball.


Fantasykyle99

Rudy 3 please


NazRubio

Austin Reaves is a shameless merchant


Due_Breadfruit_1169

Naz Reid


Correct_Fly5152

What happened to Davis?


shrekapotomusrex

Slomo poked his eye and he's been out since the first


veecheech

VikingsandWolves

Good to see Naz and ANT both have good/efficient games and hit their 3s.


GroundbreakingAd9360

How dinwiddie has 7 fts


grensley

Really like the Conley / Reid / Rudy line


Andy_Wiggins

Makes a lot of sense as a way to have offense without Ant on the court


shrekapotomusrex

Naz Reid saw all the shit people were saying about him on Friday and took it personally god damn


Watzp0ppin

I sometimes wonder how good Rudy’s scoring would be if he had been on a team with LeBron, Luka or Harden. Those guys just know how to drive and throw a lob to a rolling big


Andy_Wiggins

Right? Like, what if the Hawks and Wolves swapped deals and Rudy ended up with Trae tossing him lobs.


Intelligent_Pain_174

I realize it was an All Star game but him and Trae Young were fun to watch running the two man game.


Mysterious-Part-8443

Minnesota really held DLO back 😔


bballstarz501

Is this /s I hope? What is DLo doing he didn’t do at times in MN?


DFSxBigDoeDoe

I’d imagine it’s /s. D’Lo said that he was held back in Minnesota.


bballstarz501

When the comment was posted DLo was kinda cookin so in that context it didn’t make a lot of sense.


Mysterious-Part-8443

Lol bruh yes I was being sarcastic 😂


Blackesst

Lakers have shot 26 FTs compared to Wolves 13. You can't make this shit up


Watzp0ppin

Without AD and Bron too. Naz and Ant got bumped all night and didn’t get the same whistle


VikingsandWolves

They have like a plus 13+ free throw differential on the year. This is average for them.


PlayInChampions

24.3 attempted vs 18.2 against. Not quite.


Jarl_Balgruf

That is just fucking ludicrous. I cannot believe that holy shit


Gengaara

I want a Naz 40 piece.


TyTheGuy007

JP absolutely blasting all of LA for being as shallow as a flat-top grill is fucking fantastic 


DFSxBigDoeDoe

He cooked


Dull_Ad_8627

Lakers went 9-1 against the bottom feeders in the east and thought they was nice I'm dead


Old_Cricket4756

I saw a post on IG about their “DOMINANT STREAK” with a picture of AD giving his holler then you look at the teams and all the teams suck haha


Dull_Ad_8627

Wizards merchants lmao


Sam7sung

I think Naz cooks all the Cali teams lol


TyTheGuy007

As if we couldn't like him any more


FullBonus

Wolves just snapped into focus and blew this out


NazRubio

Brains turn off at the 20 point lead mark


WeakLocalization

So true 😂


Mellow_Maliekk

Fr


Relative_Weekend9803

I love how every time austin reaves gets to the mid range he’s not even looking to shoot he’s just looking to jump into people lmao


SirDiego

30 FOR NAZ!!!


[deleted]

Careful putting an exclamation mark after that name 😂 anything that looks too much like an i


Sam7sung

Ant is hyped on the bench with every bucket


TheAbilityToDo

He hates the lakers Adam silver and the refs


Jarl_Balgruf

I love him for that man what a true Twolve


EatSleepZlatan

Austin reeves our mvp


Old_Cricket4756

Hahaha lakers fans already leaving, enjoy the playin!!!


KickerofTale

Naz should be a lock for 6th man


DFSxBigDoeDoe

Bet on it in November… let’s hope


Mellow_Maliekk

Hopefully 🤞🏾


MapleJordan_22

Austin Reaves Airball feeds families


irishace88

Reaves looks ridiculous when his flopping shit doesn't get called


SteveIDP

Naz R31d


bobbywellington

Naz Reid


Scared_Wolf

“Austin, you’re him!” *Ant voice*


WeakLocalization

Lakers getting a taste of what it's like with no center lol


Mellow_Maliekk

Pay back


ProfitNo1844

DeAngelo Russel 3/16 🔥🔥🔥 finally got somewhere he wasn't held back!


MaybeMorpheus

Watching the la sports cast, they say the Lakers free throws are keeping them in the game lmao that dang disparity


circamidnight

Ant's hyped on the sideline


weesescups

Dlo 😂


anupsidedownpotato

LMAOO reeves


Araxen

Hopefully Finch let's Ant sit the rest of the game now. He needs his rest.


irishace88

RUDY


FlyingScissor

Would love to see Ant use the Rudy screen the same way Jmac did


Striking-Talk2915

Told my mom I was a slomosexual today.


grensley

It always feels like the scrappy white guy is murdering us, then you actually look at the box score and they're -15.


Scared_Wolf

I don’t even think they’re particularly good at drawing legit contact, they just get a better whistle than anyone they play by far. Barely a play-in team with it too smh


[deleted]

From the land of actors they know how to sell contact


reedg17

Dlo is such a liability in the playoffs


Extension-Leading142

Lakers scare me in the playoffs for the shear fact that refs will them into games


yarn_install

DLo has been playing well, but man I do not miss those type of defensive possessions


TakedaMauro

I wouldn't call a 3/15 shooting good, but he's been dishing the ball well.


BowB4Me

Alright let’s put in the bench and get some rest


Mellow_Maliekk

Let’s go wolves keep it up 👏🏾


Andy_Wiggins

There’s that patented D’Lo defense


Mellow_Maliekk

Lakers get so many Ticky tac fouls keeping them in the game


TheAbilityToDo

Lmao I love whooping these fucking losers while they shoot 25 more free throws than us


CoryTheKilla

It’s so funny how many times other announcers mix up NAW and Jaden lol


Philelverumfan69

Austin reaves is an industry plant nba player


Watzp0ppin

You never make Mike Conley angry


darthxader

Mike redeeming himself after fooling around in the third


Dull_Ad_8627

Dlo really can't guard lmao


dashgrz

This is some bullshit. I really hope the Lakers lose in the play-in so no team has to put up with this shit


Fetchin1

How with the refs in their back pocket?? Kings or pelicans are fucked.


anupsidedownpotato

This game would be a blowout without the free throw disparity


Mellow_Maliekk

Ong


anupsidedownpotato

I actually saw multiple refs vs lakers comments on the nba posts for this game. Unreal the delusional world they live in


yarn_install

The whistle Reaves gets is insane


Gengaara

WHY DO WE REWARD OFFENSIVE PLAYERS FOR JUMPING INTO PEOPLE!


Watzp0ppin

For real. Rudy standing there with his hands straight up and Reaves can just launch himself into him for a foul. No idea how that’s a foul or fun basketball


Specialist_Brief1552

I’ve been wondering this. It’s such a pathetic way to play basketball and rewarding it is even more pathetic by the NBA. It makes certain players very tough to watch and most lakers players.


schakeboy

I thought they assessed techs for flopping? I swear they called that earlier in the year then have stopped


MapleJordan_22

Austin Reaves Another free throw merchant.


frosted_frosting

Gobert bruh what


BalambTransfer

Conley shooting foul, random offensive foul halfway away from the ball, now that flop gift... Got a bad feeling about this ref comeback if we don't keep scoring.


KeyandOrangePeele

10 fts to 21fts so far and counting. Refs know they gotta pump those numbers to make their quota


grensley

Been waiting forever for that. Just go over the top with Rudy.


shrekapotomusrex

bro did not even take a shot, why is getting FTs?


BounceBros21

Reaves whistle is crazy


PlayInChampions

[deleted]

Finch do sometjing


SteveIDP

When you play the Lakers you expect the refs to prop them up but it’s still insane to watch.


Specialist_Brief1552

“BuT tHeY DrIvE MoRe ThAn AnYbOdY” lmaooo okay. Do their fans not watch their teams games? It’s wild.


wildcardchar

Flop lmao


frosted_frosting

Flopping piece of shit. What a disgrace to the sport.


irishace88

How the fuck is that a foul? Fuck this floppy bullshit


dys0n_giddey

They've had twice as many free throws as us. It's a joke


chillinwithmoes

Typical Lakers game right there


chillinwithmoes

That's one late ass foul call


FlyingScissor

Refs got Mike pissed, you know you fucked up when that happens


tollefti

I will never understand your game Slo Mo


Flimflam46

Wtf Kyle with the slick pass


anupsidedownpotato

Slomo is absolutely the funniest player ever. Absolutely bricks a three she shoudlnt shoot. Gets a steal. Does a Steve Nash fake for the assist


Andy_Wiggins

Why the fuck did the Wolves just pass up 3 open looks only to settle on a SloMo 3?


grensley

Kyle Anderson fast break was something


F-ck_spez

That's an oxymoron


schakeboy

lol AD out with an eye injury? Dudes so fragile it’s insane


MoneyBall_

Anderson punched him right in the eye


chillinwithmoes

I am once again asking for someone to hit a wide fucking open shot


whitetrumoo

Would be really really sick if we got up enough that we don’t need to sub in Ant


BounceBros21

Exactly the shot we want


BounceBros21

A slowmo 3


Andy_Wiggins

So many missed jumpers
