The Los Angeles Lakers have their backs against the wall in Game 5 as they are currently hosting the Minnesota Timberwolves. After splitting the first two games in LA, the Timberwolves defended their home court in Minnesota, and they have a 3-1 lead in the series. A win in Game 5 for Minnesota will end the Lakers' season, and the Timberwolves would advance to the next round of the NBA playoffs. So far, things are looking good for the Timberwolves.
Minnesota played well in the first quarter of Game 5. The Timberwolves led the Lakers 31-22 after one, and Lakers fans were not pleased.
“@Lakers can’t even play Hayes or Lin for a second to get a rebound,” one fan posted. “Begs the question, why did you EVER sign either? Might as well just kept the money, good lord.”
The Lakers sure could use some more size in the lineup right now. Remember a certain trade that was supposed to send a certain someone to Los Angeles?
“Remember when the lakers decided to opt out of Mark Williams?? Dumb asf they have NO size,” another fan said.
This fan needs the Lakers to find a way to turn things around down the stretch.
“The truth is, these playoffs will determine my mental state for the rest of my life,” the fan claimed. “If the Lakers lose, I'll have depression for life.”
Lakers fans are not only panicking about the future of this game, but they are starting to panic about the future in general. What if LeBron James retires after this season and Wednesday night is his final game ever?
“Need to pray for the lakers, is LeBron going to retire? If he does we are so cooked 😭😭,” a fan wrote. “We should’ve blown it after last year. We are going to be purgatory for the next decade f**k. We don’t own a pick till I’m 27 we are f**king cooked.”
So far in this series, Anthony Edwards is having his way with the Lakers, and that could end up being the difference.
“The Anthony Edwards playmaking off the double teams in a close out game against the Lakers feels like another milestone in his growth to the very top,” a fan said. “Navigating every possession in almost perfect flow. No hero ball. Letting the ball move, while still picking his spots to attack.”
The Lakers don't have a lot of depth, and that seems to be making a big impact in this series.
“The #Lakers depth vs the Wolves depth has been just too much of a hurdle to overcome,” another fan said. “Randle and McDaniels didn’t even play much that half, Donte and NAW stepped in. Lakers look gassed out and they needed to be the exact opposite to make up for the athleticism/length differential.”
Los Angeles has not looked good early on in this game against the Timberwolves, and they are running out of time to turn it around. Is the end near for the Lakers?
