The Luka/Lebron glazing combined with Shannon's "Lakers in 🖐" shtick seems to have clouded most people's proper judgment in regards to this series. Minnesota is bigger, deeper, more athletic, better defensively, better 3 point shooting and better coaching. Just an awful awful awful matchup for the Lakers yet tons of "experts" had LA running away with this one easily.
That said, I'm expecting a repeat of game 2 in the next one where most of Minnesota's players will somehow end up in foul trouble by the middle of the first quarter *wink wink*.
