On Saturday, within the fourth and ultimate recreation of the day, the Lakers hosted the Timberwolves. The Lakers began robust with Luka Doncic scoring fifteen within the first body, giving Los Angeles the lead. From there on out it was all Minnesota, rocking the Lakers on their house court docket in prime time.
It was so dangerous that the Lakers put up the white flag within the fourth with three minutes left giving Bronny James his first style of the postseason. Had LeBron been in higher spirits, he might have stayed on the court docket and added “first father and son to share the court docket within the postseason” to his spectacular set of accolades.
From a Spurs perspective, there are not any gamers or teaching employees members with ties to San Antonio, until you depend the Lakers being rivals of the Silver & Black in the course of the flip of the century. For a fan of my age, that’s motive sufficient to root for the T-Wolves.
However I can go one deeper.
In my humble opinion, probably the most fascinating Finals matchups include the Timberwolves dealing with the New York Knicks. The concept the 2 groups who traded with each other to enhance their possibilities at successful might meet head to head for the grand prize is sufficient for me to entertain the Timberwolves upsetting the Lakers.
The truth that they upset them in Recreation 1 simply reinforces the game.
Prediction: Timberwolves in 6.
Who am I rooting for: Timberwolves.
Cause: The Lakers getting Doncic was unreal. Bringing Los Angeles again to actuality appears to be the perfect use of checks and balances the universe might supply.
How about you? Who you rooting for?
