**The Los Angeles Lakers play tomorrow at 7:30pm Eastern time (4:30pm Pacific time).** The game will be played in Memphis.
Getting bad flashbacks of when Andrew Bynum said “close out games are easy” back in 2012.
This is the right mindset. Most Lakers fans remember the infamous quote ” closeout games are kinda easy” right before the team struggling to close a series that looked easy.
Don’t give fuel to the other team, they already know it is win or Cancun.
The mental aspect off the game is one thing I’ve always admired about LeBron.
Lebron needs to shut them out like they’re the Toronto of the west
We need a close-out LeBron like 20 wcf g5
It will be a miracle if we win game 5. Memphis will come out with nothing to lose no way they want to lose on their home court
Can’t have them come out sluggish like game 2. We need that game 3 start and actually keep the foot on the pedal. This time has had issues with turning the switch on. I’m hoping it gets fixed now
LeBron closing the series on a 40 points game would be so poetic.
Idk why they hoeing us with only a day of rest. Game should be on Thursday
The quick turn around and then being at home are huge points in their favor. If we can close them out in game 5 I’ll have huge confidence in this team going deep or all the way.
Says the Goat. Knows better than anybody else.
I believe they can win Game 5 but its going be tough. It starts with AD he needs to play better.
Even though he was lauded for his wisdom, observers recognized that his wisdom was too much to be an earthly inheritance; “he had wisdom from God.” God gave King James “wisdom and very great insight, and a breadth of understanding as measureless as the sand on the seashore

EST BABYYYYYY lfg
I get to watch the game and then put the baby to sleep at half time
LeKnows
Hopefully I can find a way to listen to the play-by-play at work before I’m off at 6:00 😭
Fuck man. I’ve been trying to watch AEW but the Lakers are playing every fucking Wednesday and Saturday
AD shows up big in odd number games. Let’s get it. 😤
This is exactly where having a vet like LBJ is so crucial, Memphis doesn’t have anyone who thinks and can lead like this
Predicting a bigger game from DLo, AD, and Schroeder. We’ll be good.
Brooks been real quiet since this dropped.
Please let’s close this out. Get some rest for AD and bron. Kings or Warriors gonna be tough but if we finish the series faster than theirs ends then we can beat them handily
We need more points from AD
