Message: [QUOTE="john_entony, post: 7318153, member: 1020707"] Perhaps the uneven refereeing is having too significant an impact on the mental state of the Lakers players (especially Austin Reaves, who “draws” free throws like James Harden). But in the Playoffs, you have to be able to handle that. Unfortunately, I haven’t seen the Lakers players show the will to win in these Playoffs. It’s hard to expect any success without that. For example, if you compare them to Minnesota, their mental game is totally under control! They came back twice in the 3rd game of the series (in the 1st quarter from a score of 3:18, and in the 4th quarter from a score of 79:88). I’ll say it again: only Victor was able to take charge at key moments and deliver the result. So yes, I like San Antonio overall, and I’ve written about this many times before, but I’m betting on a Minnesota win simply because they’re heavily underrated by the bookmakers. ;) [/QUOTE]
