I got a sense that Bron felt the game was lost and let up to save energy. I expect him to come to game 6 with a win-it attitude. You're gonna see a lot of MAMA HERE COME DAT TRAIN AGAIN!!! Also his leadership will bring out the best in the team. Game 6 is pivotal. We don't want to go back to Memphis.

Ham has to play Bamba in game 6. Mo's not only a rim protector he's a good 3 point shooter. Bamba’s ability to hit from downtown would make Jackson, if he is in the game when Bamba is on the court, come out onto the perimeter to guard him, which would open the lane for L.A.’s other players. This is it. If Ham doesn't play Bamba in game 6 win or lose I give up on him.


LETS
GO!!!



Memphis shot 11% in the third until he got pulled by Ham. 11% is completely shut down.

In fact from the point AD came back in the game to the close of the second quarter they shot 23%. So for that stretch of AD comes into the second to AD sits in the third AD had completely and utterly shutdown the basket, Grizzlies, the crowd, and Ham threw all his fn hard work away.

Ham would be a (bleep) idiot to not use most timeouts to rest AD and keep him on the damn floor to you break them


Instead of using valuable timeouts to rest AD why not give Mo 2-3 minutes to rest him? That way AD would get rest and Mo would get some burn. His length and 3pt shooting should be taken into consideration. Having said that, Mo's health is my concern.
Quote:
Bamba had basically fallen out of the Lakers' rotation in favor of 6'9" power forward/center Wenyen Gabriel as the club's backup five behind star center Anthony Davis. LA holds a $10.3 million team option on Bamba, who has proven to be a more intriguing prospective fit than he has been actually helpful in reality, and would be a bit overpriced at that current rate. That said, he could certainly give Ham some optionality in the postseason, and having him back would be a boon for LA.


Again I'm gonna walk back my statement If Ham doesn't play Bamba in game 6 win or lose I give up on him because I don't know the real health status of Mo. If he's healthy I think he should get some burn because his 3pt shooting will draw Jaren Jackson Jr out to the stripe and open up the middle for Lakers drivers.

IMO this is a must win. Not confident about our chances in a game 7 on the road with Memphis having all the momentum.

Hopefully, the refs will be on our side tonight. If not, chant the f-word and not the nice chant.

I have full trust in LeBron (and Scott Foster) in a game 7 but it would be much better to close this out tonight.
