JJ Redick said after rewatching Game 2, the Lakers’ defense was as good as he thought live.

He said the offense was more organized than in Game 1, but it also wasn’t very good at times and they need to play with more pace and thrust.

LeBron James on his groin/hip injuries he was dealing with entering the playoffs: “I’m available today.”

We locked in

feeling a big reaves game today

And on the third game....... HE HAS RISEN

Austin Jesus Reaves

JJ Redick on dealing with hostile road crowds in the playoffs:

“The opportunity to silence them and ruin their day … the feeling you get on the road in the playoffs when you win a game … there’s something awesome about it.”

Timberwolves coach Chris Finch's response when asked about Anthony Edwards' mindset after a slow start to the series against the Lakers' defense:

Dear God and basketball gods, please watch over this Lakers team and coaching staff. Keep them safe and healthy, and let them win this game and series.

Why is Vanderbilt guarding Conley?!

Reaves and Bron carrying the load while Luka is on the bench >>

All of these missed freethrows is gonna come back to haunt us later

absolutely

We can't lose this game and ruin a Bron masterclass

19 TOs and those missed FTs

luka getting sick is truly a cruel twist of fate

masterclass was ruined damn

rui hachimura is such a useless player

get that dumb f*** out of here

No prayer posted we win
Prayer posted we lose

The lord giveth and the lord taketh

JJ Redick said that Luka Doncic hasn’t been feeling well for 24 hours.

He doesn’t think Doncic slept much last night.

He was throwing up all afternoon going into the game.

And Redick isn’t sure what caused the halftime delay to cause him not to start the second half.

Redick gave MIN credit for contributing to LA’s 19 TO’s with their athleticism and length, but also cited some unforced errors that were crucial.

“On the road, with this crowd, the turnovers (leading to points) … us not being able to deflate the energy in the crowd is big.”
