    Davis and LeBron are the third and fourth leading scorers for the Lakers and they win by 16.

    The internet loves a good white player. McClung highlights get like 1 mil views on YouTube. Austin needs to monetize his whiteness

    Landing on your wrist like that trying to break a fall is the most common way to break you wrist. Granted it most common for children with growth plates or elderly people with more brittle osseous architecture. But it is not a wild hypothesis.

    It's okay, you're kind of a role poster, so it's perfect.

    I kid, I kid!

    45 boards to 34 and a distracted Ja, not to mention the inexperienced players on the bench.

    Then you got Rui playing like Paul Pierce.

    Dillion sucked more than usual, Kennard played under what he usually has been. Tyus hasn’t been good all year after he got his contract.

    Just a lot of suckage at this point. Jaren was unguardable but it is not enough.

    Yes, but LeBron will somehow be given credit.

    The grizzlies need an enforcer when Adams goes down. Which I hope they go after Bruno Fernando (who I like a lot).
    They also need to get rid of brooks who is a liability.

    But the fact is the lakers are too big for the grizzlies and they packed the paint and dared us to shoot outside.

    But anyway I doubt the lakers will play this good going forward. They will come back down to Earth. The problem is do the grizzlies have anything to capitalize on it.

    Handsome YouTube doctor has spoken: his injury was legit and complicated but Davis is still glass.

    Missing is Russell who had a good game. And Schoeder who will have his moments and is better. Beasley and Vanderbilt are the only major Lakers who are misfit at the moment.

    Oh he will.

    While Reaves has expressed his desire to stay with the Lakers, he's also acknowledged the business aspect of the NBA and the role that money will play in his decision-making process. "Anybody that says we do not play the game for money to me is lying," Reaves said on The Point Forward Podcast with Evan Turner. "Obviously, everybody loves the game, but I want to make as much money as I can and be successful no matter where it is at."
