Anthony Edwards just made his playoff arrival—and the Lakers had no answers. In this segment, we break down Game 1 of the Lakers vs. Timberwolves series and explain why Minnesota’s dominant win might be more than just a one-game story. From Edwards’ clutch shooting to LeBron’s defensive decline and D’Angelo Russell’s underwhelming night, we dissect every angle of this matchup.
We also talk Rudy Gobert’s surprising value in this series, whether the Lakers' role players can step up, and what it would actually mean if L.A. goes down 0-2 or even gets swept. Plus: Should LeBron really be going after Stephen A. Smith in the media? And what happens if Stephen A. swings first?
💥 Is Anthony Edwards officially the best player in this series?
🔥 Do the Timberwolves have the best 2-through-7 in the West?
🎙️ Could a LeBron vs. Stephen A. boxing match sell out the crypto.com Arena?
We go deep on all of it—with Celtics-fan pettiness fully engaged.
