00:00Also yesterday, more somewhat controversy, you could say, at the end of the Timberwolves' win over the Lakers, 116-113.
00:10Let me at least peel it back.
00:11There was no controversy. He fouled him. He said his hand was on the ball, but it wasn't.
00:16He slapped his wrist.
00:20As he's going to tell you in a moment, I'll get to him in a minute, that the hand is part of the ball, he's going to tell you.
00:26The hand is part of the ball.
00:28So they had stopped that.
00:30They thought the refs, of course, called it out of bounds off of Edwards.
00:34Review goes, they go and review it.
00:35Ends up being a foul on LeBron.
00:37Edwards hits two free throws to put the Wolves up three.
00:41Final play now, ABC ESPN.
00:43Luka to come up on that left side.
00:45Maybe a slip out by LeBron or Austin.
00:48Edwards, clutch free throws.
00:51Three-point game. No timeouts for the Lakers.
00:55Reed guarding.
00:56Dodgers looking.
00:58James, corner, Rebs, three-pointer.
01:00No good.
01:01Rebound McDaniels.
01:02It's over.
01:03The T-Wolves go up 3-1 in the series.
01:07You know, they're just better than the Lakers.
01:09How's that?
01:10I agree.
01:12They are just better.
01:13Top to bottom.
01:14And I think that you're seeing, you know,
01:16you need to have those sixth, seventh, eighth guys, ninth guys off the bench.
01:24I never saw anything.
01:25And they had some stat the last time it happened.
01:27It was like 40 years ago.
01:28A guy not make a sub the entire second half of an NBA playoff game.
01:33Didn't take anyone out.
01:36Played the same five guys the entire second.
01:37And this is them coming off the one guy, Luca, who's great.
01:41But all they did was tell you for 48 hours how sick he was.
01:44And he didn't come out at all in the second half of the game.
01:48Here's the LeBron talking about the foul that they ended up changing
01:53after looking at it at the monitor that he fouled Edwards.
01:56That play happens all the time.
01:59You know, hand is part of the ball.
02:00That's what they say.
02:02I feel like the hand was a part of that ball.
02:04I was able to get his hand on top of the ball.
02:06The ball stripped down and out on him.
02:09So, I've seen that play over and over before.
02:12But it is what it is.
02:14No, it is what it is.
02:16He hit his wrist.
02:18Yeah, it kind of looked like a little chop down.
02:22He wasn't on his hand at all.
02:24Literally on his wrist.
02:25It might as well have been a wrist watch.
02:27And let me tell you something else.
02:28He might have ended there, but he hit his wrist first.
02:31Listen, he's a great player.
02:34We all know he's going to go down in history.
02:37And this is what happens at the end.
02:40This is what happens when you're 40 and you're not winning anymore.
02:45He's not winning anymore.
02:46He doesn't win anymore.
02:47He won in 20 in the COVID year in that bubble, which was a joke.
02:51So, you're lucky to even gave you that phony-ass title.
02:54But they did anyway with no fans.
02:58So, what has he done since?
03:00Nothing.
03:01What's he going to do this year?
03:02Nothing.
03:03Nothing at all.
03:04I don't deny he still comes up big blocking shots.
03:07Can still fill it up.
03:08Can still score.
03:09But he's not winning anymore.
03:11Those days are over.
03:13It's over.
03:14We said before the series, the T-Wolves are better.
03:16They are better.
03:17They're going to finish him off one way or the other.
03:19Whether it's in L.A. or whether it's at the Target, they're going to win the series.
03:25You know why?
03:25I agree.
03:26Because they're so deep.
03:27And because they have no answer at all for Ann Edwards.
03:30None.
03:32Ann has taken over.
03:34He had 43 in that game yesterday.
03:36He was outstanding in it.
03:39You're right.
03:40They're going to win this series.
03:41The question is, are they going to win it in L.A. in five or win it at home in six?
03:45That's kind of where...
03:46And at worst, I'll bet my life that they win it in seven if they have to go back there.
03:50They'll still win.
03:52I would find it very difficult seeing what I saw in the first four games, that they would
03:56lose three in a row to the Lakers.
03:57Yeah.
03:58I would bet.
03:58That would be very difficult for me to fathom.
