Memphis did what they were supposed to do. They are the 2 seed at home down 3-1. Why are we acting like it was a bad loss? The lakers put themselves in a great spot being up 3-1. I guarantee you any 7 seed will take up 3-2 with a chance to close out the series at home
Oh man…great day!!! Warriors won…Lakers lost!!! Nick is crazy mad deep inside and I love it!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lebron has a foot injury and it was supposed to be season ending until he found a doctor who told him he could play on it and get treatment after the season right? So it makes sense he's settling for 3s and not looking like himself. Not an excuse, just saying maybe we're expecting too much from a guy with one foot.
I wonder why up 3-1 the lakers didn't give Lebron a day off so he could come back for game 6 fresh. He was clearly struggling and even at the end of game 4 looked like he needed a vacation lol.
Seems like LeBron is human then…who would have thought…
they got more excuses for lebron… than a girl with 3 boyfriends!🤣🤣
The refs are coming with top tier hard hats next game 30+ free throws coming for LA😭
Memphis keep that same energy and whoop those Los Angeles laker tricks ,grizzlies in 7 💯🙌
All these play in teams not about to advance lls himmy butler made history the train might stop there
Never seen lebron settle so much before. He’s always taken some plays off but he’s not making up for it enough at the moment
Get the grizz easy money
Nick was slot on
Lebron was bad against the Phoenix Suns in the 1st round 2 years ago too
He’s . Getting deep into the playoffs at his age you can’t go 💯 every game. It’s just not possible.
Lakers bench absolutely fell apart, but im suprised Lebron hasnt averaged more assists this series
When LBJ hit the 1st 3pts. it's game over for the Griss!😂
LeBron is playing a lot of minutes because he is the system why don't they ever say that keep questioning the coach and AD it's LeBron. Fake basketball fans
LeBron Hittas thanks
Lebron should shoot one 3 for every 4 made layups/ midrange jumpers.
Put in MO with ad and bron
they gonna lose at home …
Lebron is aging out. It happens to every player. Almost the end of an era in the NBA
Ironically bron had a double double. I don’t believe bron was tired. He is literally on Cruze control when he plays. After previous years before the NBA, and the 20 years added to that. There is so much muscle memory in what he does. He has slowed he game down. He is just doing what Kobe and some other players have done , he just doing it better. Kobe was still a skillful player in his 19-20thyear. And if he would not of got the injury, he could played another year or two. We have seen it done. We are just witnessing it being done better with bron. Ja could be if he stop jumping around and falling like Wade use to do, and he ended up coming out earlier than he should of.
This is a match up game ham need to put the right players on the court to match the pace of the grizzlies m.
People forget that LeBron just came back from injury a few weeks ago.
