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.
