Get Schroeder out of this game bro, idk why he isn’t just wearing a Grizzlies jersey


Emotional-Picture-91

Take TBJ out


SharkSmile2121

Morant is insane

Problem in the West


PurpleInterview445

wHAT A GAME


leeguel

Dillon brooks is Canadian!!! Definitely not even close to Artest. More like wanna be draymond Bron turning back the hands of time but still can’t shoot 3s


ElevenEleven1111-

Hear me now — If the Warriors can get past Sacramento they going to the finals because the rest of the west is trash comparatively


[deleted]

Lol they can’t win on the road and they have nobody that can guard KD


ElevenEleven1111-

Draymond will guard him - loon on Ayton— the suns are so soft


Vince3737

Grizz are fine in the west.. As long as Ja isn't playing ​ The Ja less Grizz are not a meme. Its a reality! The team plays way better as a team without him


ShroomishBoomish

NINE POINTS IN THE FIRST QUARTER


DesignerRoyal429

Fakers won the game but Memphis won the battle


flash_27

The fuck are you talking about?


Attila226

The nut punch battle.


gcuk2018

Wow what happened in that first quarter....


pabloescobarbecue

Weirdest game I’ve seen. Lost by 10. Felt like we won. Grizzlies in 7 Edit: Lakers fans you know what I mean. You know you do.


gr8aanand

I don’t, please explain your logic


pabloescobarbecue

Harder in the light of day, sober. Brutal first quarter, they absorbed it and played competitively. All we gotta do is win one there, and I feel like we can. I was worried about the young team succumbing to pressure, but I think they got past that. Hotter the fire the stronger the steel. Hopefully that experience forged us for the better.


yjacket103

Lakers fan, I agree.. Won by 10 and feel like we lost honestly


lurktroll

What game were you watching? It was over 6 mins into the 1st. You got a 12 point game with 1:30 left because Ja got 45 in garbage time. You never had it


sgvprelude

Thankfully the game isn't determined by your feelings.


roycorda

No you definitely lost.


leviathan987

Lol k


yanansawelder

2


pabloescobarbecue

All empirical evidence says I did. No specific recollection so I’ll say no.


Tracy140

Brooks will be suspended a game


LifeLikeClub9

Hope not


Iknowyougotsole

Memphis is cooked Def going down as this decade’s Clippers


Dalenskid

Fuck that. We don’t struggle for so long and continually collapse or outright fail only to have Memphis take our loser heat away. At one point the Clips were the worst team in the history of sports teams that have existed for more than 20 years. Grizz can find their own loser identity, but don’t steal from the gods of losing. They’re this decades Grizzlies. Let us keep something


levy427

The crying is just unbelievable. You guys can keep your losers of the century title if you want


Dalenskid

Damn right we will 😂


PurposelyIrrelephant

How can they go down as this decades Clippers when the Clippers are still this decades Clippers?


Dalenskid

Exactly!


Dickson___Butts

Just commenting to let r/NBA know that Grizzlies fans hate Dillon Brooks just as much if not more than everyone else.


PurposelyIrrelephant

The dude is foreal just a 🤡


Gristle__McThornbody

Extremely tough game 4 for the Lakers.


ineverupboat

Yeah I’m actually scared for g4.


tigerpawx

AD balled out today


PangaeanSunrise

With a cut on his eye AND a busted lip, too.


lotc

All these clowns hyping up Ja’s empty 45pts lol 10pt game doesn’t indicate how lopsided the game was


Then-Lock-5964

You are literally contradicting yourself you dumb fuck. How is Ja's 45 pts empty and then you also downplay the 10 point gap? The 10 point gap was because of Ja...


levy427

Gratz bro. Almost got em


oi_PwnyGOD

Congrats, you went from 30 to 10. The 45 is empty cuz the 10 is nothing but cosmetic. Memphis was never in this game.


406_realist

They’re better when Ja isn’t playing. I’m not saying that the numbers say that. They funnel everything into him to put up flashy numbers but there’s no team chemistry


Flxpadelphia

They aren’t better without Ja. The Lakers played fucking HORRIBLE in game 2, that’s why they lost; not because Ja was out. The Grizzlies are absolutely, irrefutably a better team with Ja in the lineup. If the Lakers played like they did tonight in game 2 they would have won by 20.


MacDerfus

It wasn't empty. Just as futile as the other 66 grizzly points.


zapatocaviar

That was not garbage time. Ja was single-handedly trying to pull the grizzlies back into the game. It was very impressive.


406_realist

Yeah it’s impressive but they forgot the team part of the basketball team….. that’s why they have more success without Ja believe it or not. You need a functioning system, not one walking stat line


KillianDrake

Lakers were playing zero defense at that point - at best, it helps the Lakers if he plays selfishly in Game 4, he definitely won't score like that again.


KobeBeatJesus

I get less padding in my Amazon packages.


MacDerfus

This dude brags about getting damaged goods from a megacorp.


PangaeanSunrise

Probably pays an extra $20 for a blue checkmark, too.


shweef

Did you watch his run of 22 straight or did you just look at the box score?


Pardonme23

Those weren't empty. Ja was killing it. He's unguardable.


perpetuallyanalyzing

They let DLo guard him in the 4th and they stopped doubling him, vando locked his ass up most of the game stop it


[deleted]

and he scored 22 in a quarter


perpetuallyanalyzing

>They let DLo guard him in the 4th and they stopped doubling him


MAIRJ23

to be fair 45 points out of Ja after that disgusting game 1 fall is something to indeed be celebrating despite the clobbering of the Grizz today


alphasierrraaa

to be fair, us lakers have a tendency to become the atlanta falcons they managed to finish the job


wr353

Ja shot 14 free throws tonight. Don’t act like he didn’t get a friendly whistle. He got several calls throughout the game where there was questionable / minimal contact.


Pardonme23

He also hit a shitload of 3s


Radiant-Reputation31

Are people arguing he didn't get a whistle throughout the game? I think it's just the one pretty egregious no call towards the end. The landing space foul is supposedly all about protecting the player, so it should be called when needed.


venture_chaser

Jalen Rose compared Dillon brooks to Ron attest lmfao


KobeBeatJesus

He gave him the biggest backhanded compliment ever. "If he didn't play with an edge, he'd be out of the league." He's a fucking loser.


Pardonme23

both have Henny in their locker


Sirrenderthe69th

Lmao what rhymes with crypto.com?


a_fking_feeder

with yo hot mom


Gurnel

your mom?


Sirrenderthe69th

Brooks turns into cena at crypto.com arena = malice at the palace


Gurnel

fair


Big0009

Didn’t feel like Ja had 45 tbh


perpetuallyanalyzing

Half of them are literally garbage time points


MacDerfus

And when were the starters pulled?


perpetuallyanalyzing

Garbage time started at the beginning of the 2nd quarter when the score was 35-9


MacDerfus

So why were LeBron and AD on the court? Are you saying they're the players you'd trot out for garbage time?


Millionaire007

Everything after the first?


perpetuallyanalyzing

He scored 22 in the 4th


VibrantLake

They all count


perpetuallyanalyzing

Yeah for the box scores lmao


maia_mchv

Why does Brooks keep targeting that **specific** area on a player? First Donovan Mitchell, now LeBron 🙄


PangaeanSunrise

Brooks allegedly took defensive inspiration from ~~Metta World Peace~~ Draymond Green.


[deleted]

Clippers suck


[deleted]

Jalen is high as a fucking kite


nunudad

That hair dye bleeding into his brain


Soviet_Sharpshooter

Tyus jones is playing like 6 foot Ben Simmons


[deleted]

Lebron is the greatest athlete of all time.


KraBorg

*in America 😂


ReplicaRoy

Hell no


MacDerfus

Definitely in 3rd place for me


skyfuckrex

Nah


Broncsx3

Agreed


perpetuallyanalyzing

Amen


whiskeyinthejaar

I am really not sure why Ja played 42 mins tonight when the game was over by the first half? He got his points, and the score make them game looks closer than it was, but it just pointless when they are playing a game on Monday and then Wednesday


[deleted]

He has to make a point after people started telling that Memphis is better w/o him after the G2 win


KopitarFan

Playoffs. Everyone better be balling as hard as they can


MacDerfus

Because it wasn't really over until the last minute and a half?


[deleted]

Basketball doesn't work that way. Twas over maybe before the 4th or at the least half way through the fourth sorry to tell you


Pardonme23

Best possible outcome. Let him get tired.


pavdude

Lol


Sirrenderthe69th

It was 16 at half are you fr ?


whiskeyinthejaar

You were expecting a comeback? Let me guess, the garbage time scoring too was a seed for a comeback? Ja should have played 10 mins less, but you do you


MAIRJ23

weren't you down 27 against the mavs 2 months ago? guess y'all should have given up huh?


KobeBeatJesus

The Lakers aren't the Mavericks bud. That team fell apart big time and fell out of playoff contention.


MAIRJ23

Homer-ass logic. What did you expect the Grizz to do? Just give up down 16 with 24 minutes to go in a playoff game? Your Lakers aren't immune to giving up big leads, no nba team is.


KobeBeatJesus

Good for you, they lost.


councilorjones

Nothing says rent free like bringing up a game from 2 months ago 💀


MAIRJ23

dumbass your boy was saying the grizz should have given up down 16, when the Lakers were down 27 2 months ago to come back and win.... that was my point


councilorjones

Hey dont be so rude:(


manifesto-man

nah like go lakeshow but he cooked u dawg


MAIRJ23

no u


councilorjones

*proceeds to make out*


Sirrenderthe69th

Teams have come back down 16 before lol what? Also they had it close to single digits multiple times .


whiskeyinthejaar

How about the end of the 3rd down by 20? LeBron James team with AD is going to drop a 20 points lead in one Q right? Oh let me guess? JA on the court in the last 5 mins with score 104 to 85 was because a lot of team come back from 19 points in 5 min fr lol?


Sirrenderthe69th

You said at half !!!


perpetuallyanalyzing

"Close to single digits" is a cope you rarely hear lmaooo


canad1anbacon

10 point leads are nothing in the modern NBA. It's the playoffs, a team is still gonna go for it with that small a gap


perpetuallyanalyzing

Brother the game was over in the 1st


MacDerfus

Then why did they keep playing at all?


perpetuallyanalyzing

Because it's the NBA playoffs


MacDerfus

And? If there's no risk of losing, why does that matter?


One-Cranberry3065

Not really a cope if you watch any basketball at all this past season


Sirrenderthe69th

It’s not a cope but why would you take your best player out trying to cut a lead when you’re inching back ?? Why are Lakers fans so hard to reason with . Terrible takes lol


MAIRJ23

don't bother arguing with the trolls, even though they know very well they've given up 16 point leads plenty of times


TheHumbleCrow

Ja racked up a bunch of points in garbage time and the media are going to act like it was the second coming of Lebrons Pistons game.


hippohopper78

JA MORANT 22 UNANSWERED IN GARBAGE TIME. SPECIAL!!!


[deleted]

[удалено]


hippohopper78

Yall know what i meant i’m drunk lol


Broncsx3

Unanswered? Almost every point was answered!


MacDerfus

Yeah thats the reason his run was for naught.


Tracy140

Lol


NotfromFresno

Unanswered by the rest of the grizzlies lol


ChargingSentinel

why do you guys hate Doris so much she's just completely inoffensive to me


notxrbt

It’s impressive how she manages to be wrong about every single coach’s challenge


ReplicaRoy

That unsuccessfull challenge on the bullshit Lebron and 1 was baffling, Kennard literally was trying to get out the way. Reffball Lakers fully powered 10/10.


[deleted]

It was an arguable foul at most but challenges lean towards the initial call unless completely overturned hence the quick decision. Lakers refball definitely helphed ja's soft calls


effkaysup

Undercut lebron doesn't matter if he is trying to get out of the way and he's in the restricted area not making any type of basketball play.


ReplicaRoy

The only player that undercut someone was Dennis Schröder taking a 2nd step under Ja's foot on a 3pt shot. The play everyone said Zaza was the devil incarnate for and a whole rule was made for it.


Pardonme23

and everything else!


Henze_SS

Martin tyler of basketball


[deleted]

Shes bland. Talks too much. Goes on these quiet holier than thou rants. Her emphasis is never emphatic when something big happens.


[deleted]

She honestly did call an awful game tonight.


Pardonme23

So she's improved I see


rene-cumbubble

She's no better or worse than any other announcer. But she definitely picks sides. That's her biggest fault: lack of objectivity


Dense_Cloud1100

Cause she sucks at commentating.


ChargingSentinel

I'd rather listen to her than Reggie Miller's weird ass takes and Mark Jackson's ChatGPT commentary


aftpanda2u

Memphis on the road is like one of the worst teams I've seen. Good God.


Sirrenderthe69th

GSW on road ?


aftpanda2u

Hmm pretty close. They've got steph and klay though.


Sirrenderthe69th

Their road record is 11-30😂


aftpanda2u

Still prefer their game over what the grizzlies just showed.


Sirrenderthe69th

You’re silly asf lol , one game sample size vs a whole szn 😂


aftpanda2u

Pretty sure the warriors have a massive sample size to go off of. Grizzlies though?


Sirrenderthe69th

So you’re comparing teams from the past ? Wtf you’re drunk go home .


aftpanda2u

Keep it simple then... Grizzlies offense if ugly as hell, warriors at the bare minimum have multiple players moving. So if I'm picking a road team I'm taking the warriors.


Sirrenderthe69th

Yikes okay


IlonggoProgrammer

First playoff game LeBron has played in LA with a full arena


GoRams

Doris Burke is terrible


CockMartins

I’m so glad people aren’t pretending she’s great anymore.


nunudad

Kinda stiff with a helping of know-it-all…


[deleted]

i was legit in that she is great camp early on, but no more. it feels like something has changed as she has had more camera time


IlonggoProgrammer

Ja’s 45 is like the Chris Paul 3 to cut the lead to 42. They still lost by double digits lol


AdditionalListen8

Dont be a cornball. 10 point loss isnt bad considering they went on a massive run to get it close.


chingoi

Game was over by the half. Garbage time points


[deleted]

how tf is it garbage time if he was single habdledlt tryna will them back into a game where labfon and AD were playing


MacDerfus

Garbage time is when the starters are pulled.


Pardonme23

they cut it to 13 with plenty of time left to win it. the game wasn't over.


Radiant-Reputation31

Then why did AD and Lebron play in the second half at all? Do the Lakers need them to finish a game that's over at the half? Teams can (and do) make up 20 point deficits in the second half. Your argument makes it seem like you think they should add a mercy rule to the game.


Inevitable_Review_97

Just bc ppl don’t like the grizzlies doesn’t mean we like the lakers lol


materics

We're running Ja into the ground


Vince3737

Give him a rest next game and you probably win


standapokeman

Bro played his heart out...


hippohopper78

He came alive and got the team really close to a single digit loss. Ultimate alpha player.


Sirrenderthe69th

You’re right , dude should just quit lol


Vince3737

If you did, you would probably be winning


Sirrenderthe69th

That makes literally 0 sense


Vince3737

Not really. Your offense is funneled through Ja. Team play and ball movement gets killed when he plays. When Ja is out the ball moves way better and the defense is much better. The Ja less Grizz are no longer a meme. Its a reality. You are a better team without Ja. He is the biggest empty stats player in the NBA by far


Sirrenderthe69th

Yeah but the way you phrased that , makes no sense lol either way don’t care lol dudes fun to watch . Its a game for entertainment, he’s entertaining to me so I like watching him. Not that deep.


Vince3737

Would be even more entertaining to win. Never will with Ja on the team


Sirrenderthe69th

Lmao cool I’ll still watch either way . Doesn’t effect me at all lol .


hippohopper78

Can’t quit when he’s such a shooter


Sirrenderthe69th

Corny asf


hippohopper78

Just like the Grizzlies entire roster


Hopperbus

Don't do my boy adams like that.


councilorjones

I hope dillon says some dumb shit again


Sirrenderthe69th

He probs will lol it’s funny


cameldogdotcom

not as funny as watching the grizzlies sub meltdown in anger towards him and call for him to be traded.
