    Ja will play under control until he gets to the rim, then he takes flight with no plan and lets basketball jesus take the wheel on the landing

    so many of these layup and dunk attempts are so reckless

    It looks like this could be a Grizzly blowout followed by a Lakers blowout in LA.

    EDIT: The Grizzlies messed up letting the Lakers get back into the game. And now the lead is 3. What da...

    I stopped watching wrestling in the 90s, but glad to see it thriving in the NBA.

    I think Memphis wins the series.

    I thought gilbert arenas said not a single player today would fall for such a simple side to side crossover that 90s players were getting fooled by?

    Sometimes it looks like the Grizzlies are the better team. But they're too dumb to take advantage for three games in a row. They can't mess around, but it would help them out on Friday night in LA if LeBron gets into the 36+ minute range. He won't if the game becomes a blowout.

    Depends on who is doing it. If a 90s player does it today it wont work unless that dude is a generational player.

    Lakers played casually tonight. If D-Lo and AD had any urgency, the series would have been over today with Lakers closing it out.

    Sad that Lebron has to be the best player to win a game…. at age 38.

    What? o_O Davis had a good game in all facets. Best player on the court type game. Russell had a decent game for him. And LeBron was the best player in 1 of the Lakers 3 wins. The other 2 Davis had better games. That's just who the Lakers are - even in the bubble -. LeBron will have to summon energy he might not have to have another game where he is clearly the best player again.

    But you know they're fixing to get screwed to hell by the refs.
