  1. Ijustquaffed

    Absolutely embarrassing end to the game by the Lakers. Completely lost all intensity and frankly got bailed out a couple times.

    If Ja hit that 3 to cut it to 8 I legit think we might have completely imploded. YEEEESH

  2. OleRockTheGoodAg

    Ja Morant vs the Los Angeles Lakers was fun to watch in the 4th quarter.

    22 points in a row from one player is just insane.

  3. homefree122

    This series shows how young athleticism can help you blaze through the regular season, but can readily be thwarted in the post season by sheer experience from your opponent.

  4. iRockaflame

    Grizzlies lose by 50 without Ja what an effort by him.

    Also shoutout Dillon Brooks for the absolute disasterclass. Played like shit and committed a dumb ass nut tap.

  5. OnRedditSometimes

    Ja single-handedly putting the Grizzlies on his back was unreal. Very reminiscent of Lebron in 07 scoring 25 straight/29 of the last 30. Special talent

  6. RabbitWolfie

    Dillon Brooks tried to get into LeBron’s head, ended up getting in his own head

  7. autumn-thunder

    Top five reasons that went the way it did:

    Dillon, Dillon, Dillon, Dillon and Dillon

  8. JilJungJukk

    The real Lakers fans were NOT surprised watching them almost blow that shit

  9. FerociousGiraffe

    Dillon Brooks and the Grizzlies have me rooting for the Lakers like I’m Jack fucking Nicholson. What is this?

  10. jackgap

    This game felt like 2 games with everything that happened.

    AD may also be the best player in the world when he plays like this.

  11. Silitrony

    What the fuck was that first quarter memphis

  12. lannistargaryen

    Lakers really built a 26 pt lead in the first but have the starters still playing in the clutch lmfao

  14. simon2105

    Dillon Brooks: “Can’t have LeBron score 40 on me if I get ejected straight away in the third quarter.”

    *Taps forehead*

  15. violentpoem

    Mad props to Ja. if only that first quarter wasnt the worst 1Q in playoff history

  17. Brad-Stevens

    I know a 9-2 doesn’t feel like that much … But rolling out a lineup of Tyus Jones, Luke Kennard, David Roddy, Santi Aldama and Xavier Tillman in the 1st quarter was fucking embarrassing from Jenkins

    Was basically the game

  18. Vencrest

    Dillon Brooks on his ejection: I saw three balls and I aimed for the middle one

  19. PrancingDonkey

    Lakers survive Ja Morant and D’Angelo Russell

  20. CrossingYoulnStyle

    Gained a lot of respect for Ja in that fourth quarter

  21. reality_czech

    >”I can’t remember the last time a player scored this many in a row, in the playoffs!”

    Immediately thought of LeBron scoring 25 straight vs the Pistons in the 2007 playoffs.

    Quite the show Morant put on in the 4th Q. Ran out of time though

  22. SolarClipz

    Ja solo carrying the game

    Rest of team especially clown Brooks absolutely selling

    Brooks really didn’t know you don’t poke LeBear?

  24. Projinator

    Imagine if Dillon Brooks didn’t shoot the ball 12 times in the first half.

  25. Available-Swimmer-77

    Truly wild game throughout. Grizzlies looked like a scrawny 4th grader getting his lunch money taken in the first quarter, then the Lakers forgotting how to play offense in the 2nd, Brooks playing like shit then hitting Bron in the nuts, LeBron’s dunks, AD getting hit in the lip by a fan’s phone as he falls onto a cameraman, then Rui’s technical, Ja’s insane 2nd half almost bringing them within distance after an early 30 point deficit…

    Super fun to watch.

  26. Stranger_Alarmed

    Ja scoring 22 straight Grizzlies points is fucking nuts. Also Dillon Brooks is a fraud

  27. Vermillion_Crab

    When asked to comment on the Grizzlies after the game, Rui Hachimura:

    >Chinko wo shabutte

  28. CounterInsanity

    LeBrons motivation to play this game disappeared when Brooks got ejected.

  29. LAKERSfanTV

    Bron gonna have to wait till next game to try and earn Dillon’s respect

  30. iiDanks

    i gained a lot of respect for ja in this game

  31. Altruistic-Twist-379

    Dillon “one way ticket to china” Brooks

  32. duggatron

    Brooks did Memphis a favor by getting ejected

  34. Pilot_G3

    Crazy you think lebron didn’t even play well but he put up 25/9/5/1/1 on 50 percent from the field

  36. TheDestinedRonin17

    Ja Morant died to make that a 10 point game

  37. garenoncrack

    DILLON BROOKS WOKE UP FEELING DANGEROUS

    19 MINUTES

    7 POINTS 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

    3/13 FROM THE FIELD 🔥🔥🔥

    1/5 FROM DEEP 🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶

    1 NUT SHOT 😜😜😜

    1 EJECTION 🤤🤤🤤

  38. livejamie

    The Grizzlies really miss Steven Adams today.

  39. Glaedr24

    Was that the 007 Goldeneye menu music at the end? Lol

  40. augustcero

    AD was like, “lemme see if i got them ice on my veins too”

  41. augustcero

    yo grizz fans, ja went ballistic. mad props to that guy! his back must be fkn sore from all that heavy lifting.

    i recommend resting him for 1 week. nevermind my flair tho
