Yeah, it's almost makes you think they weren't the problem.

Pistons really had that game pretty well in hand and just inexplicably fell apart in the middle of the 4th quarter. A 21-0 run to go from up 7 or 8 to down by double digits and game over in about 4 minutes.
It was a huge swing. Detroit wasn’t ready for that.

Lebron is just non existent on defense.

Loving the wolves cooking them now.

LeBum grabs Ant as ant is face guarding him full court.

Man the Lakers don't get back on D and Minnesota is just crushing them by pushing the ball up and then kicking it out for transition 3's

The Lakers still have a bunch of picks. If they get their asses handed to them, maybe we can make some hay out of a Reeves/boatload of picks and something else for KD.

I think they only have their 31’ 1st because somehow Dallas didn’t demand it.

McDaniels is coming along for the wolves.

His ascension helped with the KAT trade. His scoring hasn't stepped up much, went from 10.5 ppg to 12.2 ppg, but his rebounding jumped from 3.1 rpg to 5.7 rpg. His steals and blocks also increased from 1.5 to 2.2 a game combined. He's a bigger version of what we wanted Mikal to be as a great wing defender next to Ant. He had a great series against us last season and he's started well now. He's an X-Factor for Minnesota because he is long and quick enough to guard anyone.

I hope Minnesota can knock out LA in 5 or 6. Stealing home court in game 1 is big. They got good experience last year but they need to keep focused and finish the Lakers before Luka and LeBron can hit back.
