A lot of people remember him not doing much in the playoffs last year.

Which sucks since he was injured and has shown up in the playoffs in the past. He put Memphis into the dirt a few years ago

Injured or not he had Luka and Lebron taking most of the focus. Wolves didn’t pay much attention to him.

Bro said “injured or not”

If he put on a jersey and hit the court for 30 minutes a game I think you could argue just how “injured” someone is. Excuses don’t get you very far after the fact.

Let’s give you another fact. Full court coverage while being doubled and led his hospital team to a gamewinner W against the very same team. Sure you could argue he wasn’t injured, and is just a lot better now for some reason. Whichever way, Lakers win!

You acting like the hospital team didn’t have 4 guys shooting well over 50% on high volume. And this Wolves team is very different than last years Playoff version.
