If we could hit open threes this would have been a blowout. Need the Lakeshow to find their shots sooner rather than later. Nice to start the season with a win.

Great win.

Minnesota is a top contender and we shot very poorly.

Congratulations Lakers!!!


I thought Minny coming into the season was a top 5 team but now I’m not so sure with how Randle fit in with them. He really struggles with size

1-12 from threes from AR and D'Lo... of course that has to change. But I've seen more action from Reddit than I did from Ham all last year.

They put the game away early and mostly coasted the last 2 1/2 quarters. Should be able to do the same against the Suns.

Good win. Glad we're saved from the reactionary doom and gloom comments tonight.

Hey we wouldn't have known that Bronny was locked in all week coming to the game if we had to sit through AD yapping about an MVP game.

Complete non-factor but managed to goose the stats to avoid any accountability.

I saw some people say that both teams lost the KAT trade. Definitely not a good start for both those teams.

Good win. Good defensive performance from a team that was 23rd in defensive efficiency post all-star game. I think they were aided by the TWolves' lack of chemistry, but it's a start.

I expect the TWolves to be better later on, but I ultimately think they'll be worse than last year because KAT is just better than Randle. And with how hard it is to fit Randle onto teams with established top options, I don't think DDV is enough to bridge that gap.

KAT may be not an ideal 2nd option, but he's much closer to it than Randle is.

JJ lights years ahead of Darvin in coaching and it’s not even funny.

Exact same roster plus Dalton and the energy is just soo much higher

Hoping we get word from the NBA soon about Koloco

They had one here after the Bronny sequence selling a Chicken Big Mac. Totally bizarre.


A chicken Big Mac? How bizarre lol



had it yesterday. Very good.


I'm not gonna lie maybe with some BBQ I'd do it.


not with the Big Mac sauce already in it. It's good as it is. Wish they had a spicy version though.

I think they really broke up a 2nd round team in order to get rid of Kat's contract..Runs through 2028 at 61m the final year

Randle runs through 26 at 31m

I think Minny realized what everyone else did...Minny with Kat was the 3rd or 4th best team in the West

they need to rebuild around Ant

betcha they can't wait to get away from Gobert either
