This Sunday, the Wolves beat the Nuggets in Game 7 (98-90). But while the players of the Minnesota franchise are celebrating this important victory in their history, a Lakers star was harshly criticized at the end of the evening.
Winners of Game 7 against the Nuggets (98-90) this Sunday, the Wolves won their ticket to the Western Conference finals. But before returning to the Mavericks, Chris Finch’s men still have the right to benefit from this triumph.
It had been 20 years since the Minnesota franchise had been at this stage of the competition. It is also a situation that would make us forget the setbacks of last year.
During recent seasons, the latter have experienced several unsuccessful reconstruction phases.
The workforce has indeed changed a lot over the years. A certain star who passed through the house once had the role of taking this team to another dimension, but without success.
This is Lakers leader D’Angelo Russell and as a result, he finds himself at the heart of the fans’ taunts.
After the Wolves’ victory, D’Angelo Russell humiliated
Transferred to the Wolves from the Warriors in 2020, D’Angelo Russell spent three full seasons in Minneapolis before joining the Lakers in 2023. And despite fairly good individual statistics, DLoading hardly escaped criticism.
During his time there, his former team had never done better than a first round of the playoffs. For some, the 28-year-old was the main cause.
Following numerous disappointments, D’Angelo Russell was pushed towards the exit so that Mike Conley then took over in the role of leader. We have to admit that it was the right choice.
While he currently finds himself in turmoil and his future is uncertain with the Lakers, D-Lo must therefore face the mockery of supporters who accuse him of being a dead weight in a collective.
It is the student who lowers the class average during important exams
You might think it’s party time for the Wolves after their qualification to the conference finals, but some have very stubborn grudges.
D’Angelo Russell has also been called “the worst player in history” by some Internet users, he who has only experienced disillusionment in Minnesota.
