Lakers in 6. The fix is in. The entire mediadel is preemptively defending the fix justifying the upcoming free-throw disparity. Suddenly Reaves can draw fouls like Harden and Luka and the Lakers never foul.
this should be a fun one I really like this young Memphis team the young, cocky and grimy, small market team vs the veteran, Hollywood, large market
This is probably the most fun of the series to watch. I do expect the refs to lean heavily in favor of the Lakers. Also playoff style reffing is in favor of the Lakers where their age and slow pace will make them legitimate contenders. By the way, I hate that the playoffs are called differently than the regular season.
Grizz in 6. Sure the Lakers have Lebron and AD but outside of that their team is meh. Those two will have to go nutso for most games to win this one because Memphis is so deep and they are just the better team. Should be a good series though. I would personally like the Lakers to win just because the Grizz's attitude is starting to grate on me. They need a humbling.
Memphis is the better team, but they are missing Adams and Clarke, who would've been the primary defenders for AD & LeBron. This is a huge problem as this leaves Jackson Jr even more vulnerable to foul trouble, something that's plagued him since coming into the league. Furthermore JJJ's foul rate has always been MUCH higher when he plays without Adams. Im taking Lakers in 6.
