Wolves go 7-47 from 3 and win.

If you'd told me that would be a stat from this game I would have guess they're losing by 25+.

Yeah, that was funny, he laid there like he might never play again. He might not be the most prolific flopper but he is, by far, the most dramatic in the league. At least twice per game he lays on the court and acts as though he might need a stretcher.

I've never seen players flop harder than the Lakers, I give them that. They hit the floor like they were in a major collision.

I hope ratings are up for the league and they start allowing more physicality in the regular season because this first round has been a joy to watch. Easily the best basketball I've been since KD became a cupcake.

Had Dallas been healthy I think beat LA fairly easily in a hypothetical matchup. They wouldn’t be able to guard Kyrie/AD. We needed the irony of that series.

Well, the hangup is that AD probably gets hurt.

I've seen that same look from Anthony Edwards last season when the Suns were in the playoffs.

It's hilarious, but it's going to come back and haunt him one day if he doesn't learn how to win with class.

And he saw firsthand in the WCF last year against Luka's Mavericks. Turnabout is fair play.

I'd rather see a player hyped about winning than not caring at all.

I have mixed feelings about more physical contact or maybe I have been watching the Suns too long.

The Suns would have quickly crumbled against such physical play. With the NBA headed this direction, Phoenix needs to get more physical players and find a coach that teaches this style.

That picture isn’t real. It’s someone photoshopping the two guys to bring back a twist on the Doncic/Booker pick when the Mavs humiliated us back in 2022.

It's not real, but a takedown of Luka based on the picture of him and Booker - so I laughed

The interesting thing, I could easily see more photos like this emerging.

Edwards seems to feed off outmatching another star, even more so the ones he admires.

Charles Barkley tells it like it is about the Lakers defense. The Suns defense couldn't guard a chair either.

So do most all-time greats, which this kid could have a shot at if his game keeps progressing.

Ant walking around LA trash talking Laker fans after sealing the series is a bit much....

That's not a smart thing to do. Anthony Edwards seems to be just a kid at heart. I hope he doesn't get hurt until he grows up.
