Some people just got high pain threshold maybe?
DLO is weak sauce though. How many times has this dude been out on some bull lol? |
Some people can play through pain like Kobe and Lebron. Others want to heal 100%, but no one ever heals 100%
I have high pain tolerance with prior back surgery and now it's pressing on my spinal cord.
If this was AD or Russell, they would probably retire. |

The Lakers, who started 2-10 and were 26-32 midway through February in the No. 13 seed, clawed their way up to the No. 7 seed, secured tonight against Minnesota.
They advance to play No. 2 Memphis in Round 1, also eliminating a pick swap with New Orleans.  |

OH. I didn't know that! Noice!  |

Everyone choked except LBJ, AD, Schroder.
And even James and AD made some horrible plays.
Thank God they won, but it was the battle between two choking teams and Minnesota just outchoked us. |

Rui played well. He played solid defense late in the game and in the comeback. I mean he gave you 12 points too and was a +20.
Troy didn’t shoot well, but his defense was good. He almost got as much run as Vando at Ant and held his own and beat Vando at boards, steals, and assists in 6 less minutes. Troy was in there when they locked down to end the third, not Vando |

Rui, Reaves, Russ all became afraid to shoot by the end of the game.
This is the first time I saw Reaves look scared.
I'm glad we are giving Rui a chance, but this was a missed opportunity to establish himself |

At the end of the game Reaves played real starters minutes.
And Rui scored in overtime and was competing with Kat and Anderson on switches.
I mean they created a dog fight and won it |

Hey, we won... this game was so important to avoid Phoenix, Clippers early... but that shooting was just atrocious.
Felt like the last few years. |

The only one that I say choked was Dlo. Rui also played well, I’d say Reaves did ok considering it’s his first taste of playoff ball as a 2nd year player.
Our chemistry is just a mess with so many players in and out, we are literally trying to figure it out on the spot. |

I believe Rui can be a good player and I hope we keep him... but if he misses he starts getting in his head.
That three was crucial, but I was very frustrated by him passing up an open three... driving to the key and missing a bunny from ten feet I think earlier in the game. |

You're aware it was pushing himself to play through injuries constantly that was the reason for DLO's stagnated last few seasons in Minni with health woes and consistent stretches right?

He wasn’t perfect, but I don’t think he shy away from anything. His mid range is cash. It was in and out too |

Remember that Edwards wasn't right and they didn't have Gobert and McDaniels.
We should have blown them out and we barely won. |

The wolves have a winning record on the year without Rudy and losing one with him. AD also shot 50 on the year versus Rudy and 37 in KAT. I mean mcdaniels is a loss but they play better without Rudy.
They should spend their summer trying to send Rudy to Dallas.
And Ant man shot horrible versus the Pelicans too .. he just was everywhere to make up for it. |

Yeah Rui wasn’t scared at all.
Not sure why people would think so.
He came ready to play |

Yes but they held a team scoreless for 4 mins and 49 seconds. That’s huge for a group that has not played together as a whole. Hell the 5 of Rui, Bron, Reaves, Denis, AD was not something they used and that group still clamped down.
Shooting was bad but for a coach who doesn’t get them easy ones, they made it work off forcing turnovers, rebounding, and playing together. |

I said Reaves looked scared.
I simply pointed Rui had a wide open corner three... drove to the left side of the key for a ten footer... and missed.
That's from missing the other threes.
He got in his head.
I'm glad he got the first shot in OT... that will help him for next game. |

I actually love this team... which is why I expect more from them.
Can't do this against Memphis or it will be a short series. |
