Good Dad vs Poor Dad Puffin On That Hooka & Nico Pack... Official (3)Lakers vs (6)Timberwolves 1st Round Playoff Thread

You ain’t saying shyt nikka no one was disrespecting kobe or MJ in their final years.

Disrespect? Playing hard against someone in the playoffs?

Why the goalpost shift with the “late in their career” stuff. Kobe’s lakers were an inconsequential lottery team in the last years of his career.

Maybe folks felt sorry for him?

It's been a problem all season. I think faitgue played a factor last night as well. Guys were resting on offense.

This is what drives me crazy, everybody just standing in the corner not rotating or doing anything. Luka was getting trapped and Rui just looking at him getting double teamed instead of running to go get the pass that Luka was about to throw.

The lack of depth and production from our bench is astounding. What happened to DFS and Gabe man

You know the great thing about sports in 2025 is we have all the data.
This is every lineup the Lakers used last night.

Lineups Traditional | Stats | NBA.com

Ability to view statistics and advanced analytics for any combination of 5-man, 4-man, 3-man, or 2-man lineups that a team has played throughout the season. Lineup information dates back to the 2007-08 season.

www.nba.com

The Lakers had 5 lineups that were a net positive. 4 of them included at least one of Gabe, Vando, Wood or Hayes.
The worst lineup was Bron, DFS, Luka, Rui and Gabe. There were 4 other lineups with reserves that outscored Minny while they were on the court and 2 others that played even.

JJ had options to rest guys and he had positive results from THIS game to inform that decision. He could've just bushed the worst lineup. Instead he bushed the entire bench in every combo for an entire half.

He ran his best lineup into the ground for no good reason in a way that no coach (not even Thibs) has done in modern NBA history.



Now I know you hate to concede anything and you'll come up with some convuluted way to dismiss/ignore this and while I'm actually looking forward to it just for the creativity of it, I won't be responding anymore. The data speaks for itself.

Cook that anti-black men casual

This is a white coach we're talking about here..........so he's trying his hardest as we speak to form a logical explanation

I think no roll threat is bothering everyone.

JJ couldn't get them a breather so they had to rest on offense, so really they was playing like Vando

Rui BBIQ is in the gutter.

Top row is Lebron bottom row is Luka.

How is it that a 40 year old Lebron has a better PER, Offensive Win Shares, Defensive Win shares, Offensive Box Score Plus Minus, Defensive Box Score Plus Minus, Value over replacement, etc.



Lebron also has the highest Block percentage throughout the playoffs so far

Y'all don't get tired of arguing about this?

Bron stans and juelzing another L. Name a more iconic duo

 

[Born2BKing]

Because Luka hasn't been mentioned as top 3 all time over Kobe yet, if he had been, then they'd be shytting on Luka more.

Lebron is better than Kobe that's not a question at all prime for prime.

When the playoff matchups were still being decided, I wanted Denver. Swept them in the regular season and thought the Wolves could matchup well. I thought the Lakers would get all the ref calls. I'm glad i was wrong. What I'm seeing is the Wolves bigs are beating the Lakers bigs. Randle, Naz, Gobert and Jaden. Luka isn't having the same effect vs the Wolves because he doesn't have the bigs he did in Dallas. Last year if you played drop coverage, Luka and Kyrie would shoot lights out. But if you played up on Luka, the bigs would slip behind the defense and get easy alley oops.
