If they don’t have Ja. It’s a problem for them.

They are still good. But, if the Lakers are able to have a quality game. Matching it would be tough for the Grizzles.

 

[drewsone]

tyus is a great back up bg
they play different with him at the helm more movement and hes had the highest ast/to ratio for like 2 years

wont be an easy cop out but that being said long as they committ to defense again like g1 i like our chances
a chance to go up 2-0 will be huge

 

[darthska]

I really hope the Lakers game plan tonight is to go out and score more points than the Grizzlies.

Bane is gonna get worn down because he needs to score 20+ and he's the backup point guard since Ja is out.

Reaves gotta make him work on defense on top of that.

 

[Dhizzle]

Need to come out aggressive and fired up. Bron knows he doesn’t have the legs to extend this to 6-7 games if avoidable

 

[DLF]

If I have to hear “tyus jones, best back up pg in the league” one more time I’m gonna…

I am past that. All I hope is the team goes out and tries to play hard.

I think there is an opportunity to bury Memphis if we can come out hot early. They're already questioning themselves, Ja is hobbled and we can break their will.

That said, I expect the Grizzlies to come out desperate, playing with their season on the line. We need to match their intensity.

 

[sohi 23]

need to take this game and kill all Grizzlies hope.

 

[Lizakers]

need to take this game and kill all Grizzlies hope.

And then griddy on their center court logo

Win tonight, take both in LA and rest another week hoping Sac/GS goes Triple OT in game 7.

If Sac sweeps, they get rest AND HC.

Need a classic Warriors chips down win to extend the series.

 

[DLF]

Need a classic Warriors chips down win to extend the series.

Eh.

More worried about our own team than counting my chips elsewhere.


All meaningless unless we win. Just win baby win. 7 games. 9 games. Whatever. Don’t matter

 

[moonman818]

I anticipate a Laker win... but I think Dillon Brooks or Bane will end up doing something dirty, so hopefully no one gets injured.

Wouldn't be surprised if there's a scrap tonight.

 

[DLF]

I think it’s very possible lakers win tonight but very possible they lose.

No in between

 

[BRONBROW2020]

what body parts will hurt this game 2 lol

astounding insight , thanks magic

 

[noblekane]

Lakers bout to head back home to LA up 2-0.

Memphis only got 1 big with Adams and Clarke out. That's a big problem.

the grizzlies actually have 2. JJJ and aldama. we only got 1 big. AD

maybe JUST maybe the other guys can make more shots than them?

[darthska]

astounding insight , thanks magic

 

[darthska]

Yeah there's no way we're losing.

Which naturally means 1-1.

 

[fearless]

we need to come out and play like we are 0-1.

 

[DLF]

I have the grizzlies by 9 today.

Sadly.
