Summary

Colin gives his instant reaction to Nuggets vs Clippers and Lakers vs Timberwolves!

He starts with the Wolves physically bullying the Lakers and the Lakers being unable to adjust, but expects the Lakers to bounce back and play aggressively going forward in the series. He explains why the Wolves transition game overwhelmed the Lakers and why Anthony Edwards deserves a ton of credit for improving his game.

Then he pivots to Nuggets/Clippers and weighs in on why playoff basketball is officiated differently and far more physical than the regular season. He details why this game was a perfect example of the full “Russell Westbrook” experience filled with ups and downs… but why Russ was a big reason the Nuggets were able to get the win.

He explains why the Nuggets ability to get second chances and offensive rebounds was key to the Nuggets win, and why Kawhi Leonard is an incredible player…but not a leader, and why Westbrook was the story of the game.
