Ja Morant fully laughing and joking around with AD

Sumthin ain't right with this team

He seems pretty tight with AD, his dad also had some laughters with AD


Ok

But this was a Playoffs elimination game and at NO POINT did he look like there was any sense of intensity or urgency. They didn't even look remotely disappointed. And then after the game he's laughing it up with AD? Nah. Sumthin ain't right.

That's the second 40 Bron dropped on Brooks

I find it hard to get mad at anything Brooks said. He was a huge asset for the Lakers all series.

Probably could have blown em out by 50. Left some points on the court with careless turnovers at times, especially in transition. But GREAT team win. Let's hope they stay focused and keep it rollin.

This was the most satisfying win of the year for me because it shut Bane and Brooks's mouths.

Same here.

Morant's gun and fake gangsta antics, then Brooks running his fool mouth off like he's a badass. Got schooled good. Good. (bleep). Riddance.

I also think the Lakers need to figure some consistent adjustment to throw Bane off his game, while still trying to keep Morant in check. Bane has been heavily carrying that offense and it can be argued he has been the best player in the series.

Bottomline: Lakers need AD and LBJ to have good games, 1 of AR or D'lo to have a good game, and either DS or Rui to have some offense off the bench...meanwhile playing solid D.


Not sure I really provided anything big, but for the most part I did get it right about what the Lakers needed to win!

Gotta give Rob his props. He made a lottery team a contender.

Never seen a team talk so much trash in the media like this Grizz team, and they made it personal. This is why you stay humble. Hopefully lesson learned but from what we heard from these guys I doubt.

He was embarrassed. When you talk the talk you gotta walk the walk. He didn't fess up.

Now that was fun!

Awesome performance to close out the series. Kind of stunning actually.

12 wins to go. Next a trip up north on Tuesday.

Go Lakers!

What a incredible defensive performance.

The scary thing is that we made a lot of turnovers and have a lot of room for improvement.

Very satisfying victory... been a long time since I've felt this content about the team.

Bane was a killer Games 4 & 5, he could run his mouth a little. Brooks really needs to shut the (bleep) up. I mean I'll give him his dues, he's a really good defensive player. But homie was putting up bricks like he was working for Americorps. Shut your mouth and focus on the game.

We absolutely imposed our will and it was an incredible game. We did have a lot of early turnovers but I think that was a byproduct of possibly being amped up, and we certainly had the necessary energy defensively. I'll take some turnovers if it means we have that level of energy and commitment every night. Sadly, you don't see that in the NBA too often. We certainly saw it tonight. Just an exceptional performance.
