Series Thread: 1st round: #2 Grizz vs #7 Lakers

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

It’s what this particular guy needs to stay a factor in the league. He needs to needle and get in guys heads and maybe take them off their game, thinking more about him than the job at hand. He gets under skins.

All that being said…fun villain to hate. The league needs Heels.

He’s bigger Pat Bev.

 

[fightinfunbags]

He’s bigger Pat Bev.

And slower.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Who cares? Memphis won

You're here bragging about individual numbers in a game the lakers got dominated start to finish

By a team missing 3 fucking starters.

I hate Brooks so much, I’m actively rooting for the Lakers.

…..and Davis let’s Tillman take his fucking lunch money.

If we are gonna hype up Rui, who is playing GREAT, maybe mention he outplayed ANTHONY FUCKING DAVIS and the Lakers lost because of it.

Also…..

IDGAF…..The Refs were assey in spots.

Not why the Lakers lost.

But, they let JJJ play like he’s Austin Reaves or something….lol

And slower.

And dirtier.

Who cares?

You lost.

You think Anthony Edwards is jumping up and down over handing out a 40 pc?

No.

Because, he took a L.

Lakers fans should be passed moral victories.

You know who Bane did outscore?

Anthony Davis.

As did Jackson….

As did Tillman….

THAT should be the focus.

You have a actual chance to come outta the West.

…..and he’s coasting.

Not sure I'd agree that he's coasting.

Every time he touched the ball, he was double and triple teamed. The easiest way to remedy that is for the others to hit their shots. Outside of Rui and Lebron (who was inconsistent), that wasn't happening.

Player movement which helps ball movement also defeats double and triple teams wasn't happening either.

Having said that, I think games like last night are where he needs to just say "Fuck it, I'm in the paint and I'm gonna just go up anyway". The few times he did that, he drew fouls. More of that and he'd have some guys in foul trouble.

He missed 10 of 14 shots, some were bunnies.

He got his shit packed, TWICE, by 6’5 Komchar.

Lethargic is the word that most comes to mind for me.

He blocked a bunch of shots.

But, still got outplayed badly by the Griz bigs.

JJJ, he was a Allstar, you live with that.

But, Tillman?

2-0 woulda been sweeter, though...

Of course. Didn't get much offense out of AD last night, and far too many turnovers.

Bane was beating his chest that Rui couldn't score again, got 20 again. Sure, not 29 like game 1. Bane's talk isn't about moral victories, it's about shutting up a braggart with little to stand on.

Yes, AD sucked outside of some rebounds and blocks. Different topic. Of course it is the overall focus, but that isn't solely on AD. He needs the guards to set him up and get him the ball. He needs to bury some defenders in the rim instead of getting blocked by little guys though.

Separate topic. No need to explain what happened in the game overall, I figured that had already been discussed (didn't read back and didn't post last night).

That’s who the Griz are and yes, it’s annoying.

But, you can talk when you win.

The talk was after they lost though, lol.

 

[shopson67]

Big Body Roddy can play.

He needs a new style inspiration though. That Brooks look is trash.

FIFY

 

[shopson67]

FIFY

Sure, more complete answer lol.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Sure, more complete answer lol.

It’s funny.

I didn’t notice that they looked alike until it was mentioned.

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

That shit was fucking embarrassing last night.

Just when I think this team is capable of doing something great, they pull this shit.

It's almost like they were completely content with having already taken one win in Memphis and then said, fuck it!

 

[DJ Fieri]

Windy: "Brooks is a diet Draymond Green."

LOL.

 

[wildturkey]

D'lo is lowkey ass in the playoffs. If you look at his career, he takes a step back from what you see of him in the regular season. Something the Lakers need to consider factoring into free agency this summer
