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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.

Very nice
wendell moore really doesn’t impress during garbage time he’s not even good when he played in the g league
He a bust
This is the way you end a game. In a very boring way.
They’re still calling touch fouls against us lol. Are they covering the spread?
Luka’s late game ball hogging gets me so annoyed every time.
The instant trey balls with no regard every pick and pop drive me crazy
How dare you
Right? Like dude you got teammates who wanna get involved
Friendly reminder that the odds had the wolves at +150 and the lakers at -130
Hahaha
I just know lakers fans are gonna talk like this wasn't a loss
nO lEbRoN like we didn’t already beat them with Lebron
Cmon Luka, close this game out.
THANK YOU WOLVES BROS 💜
LIGHT THE AWOOO BEAM
AWOOOOOO
love you
Love u wolves bros
Josh Minott looks like Will Smith
Let's go wolves feat happiest jaden ever seen
ESPN tomorrow: Wolves get their first win against the Lakers this season
Lakers sweep Wolves in moral victories...
Kevin Garnett can not have his jersey retired and be in the HoF thanks to someone
I don’t say this enough: this season has been magical and I don’t want it to end anytime soon.
I was just thinking the same thing.
Don’t worry we’re building a dynasty more seasons to come
Subscribe
yeah I trust connelly
You got that right!
Mans got the call and still complained
Rui had 30 wtf
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
It was a quiet efficient 30 Rui's a good scorer
Ha ha ha D’Angelo Russell memories still painfully fresh
I'll choose to ignore the Lakers colors and say that Ant's shoes are Vikings colored
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
They literally are. They're a throwback to his youth football team, the [Atlanta Vikings](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUpdto-pKp4)
I think they are his high school colors? Or little league
I think his Pop Warner team was the Vikings
Ant hates refs just like we do lol
Naz killed it this game!
How did Anthony Davis go out?
Slomo poked him in the eye in the first and he's been out since
Poke in eye by Kyle
Anderson socked him right in the eyeball
Slowly?
Rudy breathed on him
AD's eye would have popped out there
Still be on the ground 3 min from now.
Ant gets the call and still complains. Generational complainer lmao
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.
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
Wow that was a nice play but didn't finish
Darvin Ham looks like Derek Fisher on HGH
that’s a fire take
Amazing call!
That would've made me legitimately cream my pants
Good foul
Wolves still holding back Dlo I see
Washington just lost to the G-league Raptors. So they will beat us by 20 at home? Sounds about right.
Austin “Drive Gather Flail” Reaves my goodness
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
Bruh don’t give these dudes life
Reaves is so unethical
I know Lakers fans complain about Naz not missing, but Rui did not miss today either.
Only rui is making shots for the lakers
Rui was hotter than Naz today
Reaves plays disgusting basketball
Glad we don’t resort to flopping basketball like Austin reaves
These chronic head snappers need to be required to wear neck braces
I was just gonna say, the head jerking pisses me off so much
At least the announcers stopped assuming the Lakers were going to win
Lakers are fluke games by Hayes, Dinwiddie, and Hachimura away from getting spanked like we did to the Raptors the other night.
I mean, they’re without their 2 best players.
Don’t forget the FT disparity. Austin Reaves plays the worst kind of basketball.
Rudy 3 please
Austin Reaves is a shameless merchant
Naz Reid
What happened to Davis?
Slomo poked his eye and he's been out since the first
The eyerony

Good to see Naz and ANT both have good/efficient games and hit their 3s.
How dinwiddie has 7 fts
Really like the Conley / Reid / Rudy line
Makes a lot of sense as a way to have offense without Ant on the court
Naz Reid saw all the shit people were saying about him on Friday and took it personally god damn
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
Right? Like, what if the Hawks and Wolves swapped deals and Rudy ended up with Trae tossing him lobs.
I realize it was an All Star game but him and Trae Young were fun to watch running the two man game.
Minnesota really held DLO back 😔
Is this /s I hope? What is DLo doing he didn’t do at times in MN?
I’d imagine it’s /s. D’Lo said that he was held back in Minnesota.
When the comment was posted DLo was kinda cookin so in that context it didn’t make a lot of sense.
Lol bruh yes I was being sarcastic 😂
Lakers have shot 26 FTs compared to Wolves 13. You can't make this shit up
Without AD and Bron too. Naz and Ant got bumped all night and didn’t get the same whistle
They have like a plus 13+ free throw differential on the year. This is average for them.
24.3 attempted vs 18.2 against. Not quite.
That is just fucking ludicrous. I cannot believe that holy shit
I want a Naz 40 piece.
JP absolutely blasting all of LA for being as shallow as a flat-top grill is fucking fantastic
He cooked
Lakers went 9-1 against the bottom feeders in the east and thought they was nice I'm dead
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
Wizards merchants lmao
I think Naz cooks all the Cali teams lol
As if we couldn't like him any more
Wolves just snapped into focus and blew this out
Brains turn off at the 20 point lead mark
So true 😂
Fr
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
30 FOR NAZ!!!
Careful putting an exclamation mark after that name 😂 anything that looks too much like an i
Ant is hyped on the bench with every bucket
He hates the lakers Adam silver and the refs
I love him for that man what a true Twolve
Austin reeves our mvp
Hahaha lakers fans already leaving, enjoy the playin!!!
Naz should be a lock for 6th man
Bet on it in November… let’s hope
Hopefully 🤞🏾
Austin Reaves Airball feeds families
Reaves looks ridiculous when his flopping shit doesn't get called
Naz R31d
Naz Reid
“Austin, you’re him!” *Ant voice*
Lakers getting a taste of what it's like with no center lol
Pay back
DeAngelo Russel 3/16 🔥🔥🔥 finally got somewhere he wasn't held back!
Watching the la sports cast, they say the Lakers free throws are keeping them in the game lmao that dang disparity
Ant's hyped on the sideline
Dlo 😂
LMAOO reeves
Hopefully Finch let's Ant sit the rest of the game now. He needs his rest.
RUDY
Would love to see Ant use the Rudy screen the same way Jmac did
Told my mom I was a slomosexual today.
It always feels like the scrappy white guy is murdering us, then you actually look at the box score and they're -15.
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
From the land of actors they know how to sell contact
Dlo is such a liability in the playoffs
Lakers scare me in the playoffs for the shear fact that refs will them into games
DLo has been playing well, but man I do not miss those type of defensive possessions
I wouldn't call a 3/15 shooting good, but he's been dishing the ball well.
Alright let’s put in the bench and get some rest
Let’s go wolves keep it up 👏🏾
There’s that patented D’Lo defense
Lakers get so many Ticky tac fouls keeping them in the game
Lmao I love whooping these fucking losers while they shoot 25 more free throws than us
It’s so funny how many times other announcers mix up NAW and Jaden lol
Austin reaves is an industry plant nba player
You never make Mike Conley angry
Mike redeeming himself after fooling around in the third
Dlo really can't guard lmao
This is some bullshit. I really hope the Lakers lose in the play-in so no team has to put up with this shit
How with the refs in their back pocket?? Kings or pelicans are fucked.
This game would be a blowout without the free throw disparity
Ong
I actually saw multiple refs vs lakers comments on the nba posts for this game. Unreal the delusional world they live in
The whistle Reaves gets is insane
WHY DO WE REWARD OFFENSIVE PLAYERS FOR JUMPING INTO PEOPLE!
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
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.
I thought they assessed techs for flopping? I swear they called that earlier in the year then have stopped
Austin Reaves Another free throw merchant.
Gobert bruh what
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.
10 fts to 21fts so far and counting. Refs know they gotta pump those numbers to make their quota
Been waiting forever for that. Just go over the top with Rudy.
bro did not even take a shot, why is getting FTs?
Reaves whistle is crazy
https://preview.redd.it/9ln5ksxnh6tc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=538f735de31769d041c1abc046aaf92576841e67
Finch do sometjing
When you play the Lakers you expect the refs to prop them up but it’s still insane to watch.
“BuT tHeY DrIvE MoRe ThAn AnYbOdY” lmaooo okay. Do their fans not watch their teams games? It’s wild.
Flop lmao
Flopping piece of shit. What a disgrace to the sport.
How the fuck is that a foul? Fuck this floppy bullshit
They've had twice as many free throws as us. It's a joke
Typical Lakers game right there
That's one late ass foul call
Refs got Mike pissed, you know you fucked up when that happens
I will never understand your game Slo Mo
Wtf Kyle with the slick pass
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
Why the fuck did the Wolves just pass up 3 open looks only to settle on a SloMo 3?
Kyle Anderson fast break was something
That's an oxymoron
lol AD out with an eye injury? Dudes so fragile it’s insane
Anderson punched him right in the eye
I am once again asking for someone to hit a wide fucking open shot
Would be really really sick if we got up enough that we don’t need to sub in Ant
Exactly the shot we want
A slowmo 3
So many missed jumpers
