    LeBron is the correct bear to poke out of him and Davis since Davis is +35 and LeBron -16 for the series. It's too bad Brooks "broke character" as Nick Wright said on First Take.

    @what can you confirm if the Grizzlies are still the shield? Or were they the spear? I can't remember what your ludicrous analogy was last season.

    Or have they transformed into something else entirely?

    Can't say I watched much - if any - Grizzlies games this year because they aren't an enjoyable team to watch as an outsider. But holy hell they play very stupid basketball.

    I didn't realise Adams should've been in MVP consideration.

    Every time i turn on a Lakers game, Anthony Davis is writhing and grimacing in pain within 4 minutes of me turning it on

    He should retire, it seems miserable

    Austin Reaves still baffles me. Looks like he should be playing Warhammer or Magic the Gathering, not NBA basketball, and doing it well for that matter

    Reaves just yammed Ja in the face with an elbow, gets an offensive foul called and they don't even look at it? Must be nice to be a Laker and exempt to the 'review all contact above the shoulders' rule

    Lol. Obviously wanting Memphis to win this series.

    But through that second quarter just had enough of watching stupid basketball so was like ok Lakers just hurry up and win and not delay the inevitable.

    Ever since then the Lakers have played atrocious basketball since being up 15.

    You're welcome Memphis.

    LeBron's defense has been impressive, drawing charges on Morant. He barely touched the ball on offense in the fourth quarter.

    Lebron has been strangely invisible offensively, this is weird

    BS charge call. And Schroder bumped Morant before, too.

    LeBron with the clutch layup to tie the game with 0.8 seconds left. Even Jackson Jr could not block it.
