I saw him earlier banging on the stand of the court holding his hip, in pain, and one Lakers kept pulling him up but he was like he wants to lie down as he was in pain.

Lakers get caught at 66 all with a Morant charge to the rim only to fall and reinjure his right hand causing him to leave the game

A real mail biter as the Lakers offense goes south with Reaves in foul trouble. The game changes when he returns to the game but Lakers still on the short side of a 76-71 score with 6 minutes left in 3rd. Desmond Bane has been unstoppable

With 6.7 seconds in the game Grizz takes the lead 104-102
Desmond Bane was the difference and AD was a non factor
however LeBron ties the game with 0.8 seconds in the game
LeBron blocks the shot and heaves a half court shot which goes in but time expired.
What a game
104-104
OT
The Lakers have to contain Bane

We all said that there were going to be upsets but this is the Lakers that I know and love for the past 40 years. To think they’ve come from 13th to finish in 7 th after the playin and are now in the brink of advancing to the semifinals to face winner of Kings and Warriors.
LeBron 22 points and 20 rebounds.
Lakers hopefully will catch their breath as they head for Memphis for a Wed game

Grizzlies showing lack of experience. Veterans make key plays in the endgame.
The Laker don't care about Brooks one bit. He's just a network invented fake tough guy that gives ESPN etc talking heads something to yell at each other about. We are in an age where the news creates it's own content by exaggeration and fabrication. It's all about the clicks.
I haven't cheered for the lakers since Kareem retired for good. Thank you Dillon Brooks! LMAO!!!!!!
Jack, Brooks need to attend some clinics of Draymond Green. Simple flick at the groin is harmless compared to a pro wrestling foot stomp. And when Green gets home to Chase arena, he's even seens as a great hero.

As I said yesterday, that if the Lakers close out the Grizz, the inciting influence IMO was Dillon Brooks and his parody of LeBron. I have to give credit where credit is due and LeBron played a truly memorable game. When he stole the ball with seconds left in regulation and launched a 3 which went in from behind mid court a microsecond after time ran out and he knew the next 5 minutes of OT would be critical . He truly played his heart out. I wonder about AD as he hit the floor a dozen times yesterday but the apparent bothersome injury was to his right hip area and I have to hope that not only will he play on Wednesday but that he will also be a factor in the game. He was clearly off his game yesterday as a result of all the falls to the floor. Big men fall hard.
Morant OTOH is such an amazing gifted athlete. Watching him dribble up the court with his left hand, making shots with his injured right hand and throwing caution to the wind on his drives to the basket, which resulted in at least 3 falls to the floor onto his injured right hand, one of which happened as he tried to jump over AD in an attempt to dunk the ball. We all said that injuries will be the unknown factor and the Grizz have 2 starters on the bench with injuries and Morant on the floor playing like a warrior (not a GSW
). His hand has clearly limited his playWednesday's game in Memphis will be a blood bath with the Lakers trying to close them out in an away game and the Grizz battling to stay alive.
Yesterday's two televised games were probably 2 of the best games that I have seen in years. Upsets are in the making
The nagging question is whether the GSW can win on the road. The Kings are poised and ready as are the Miami Heat to stage upsets. If Warriors must win the next game because, if not they have to play game 7 away from home
Miami and the Warriors are stronger than what their regular season record shows. In the playoffs, it's brand new ballgame. Suprising is how the Bucks faltered in the end after leading most of the way. They have the best record in the entire NBA. CELTICS should not loiter just because they're number 2 seed.

With the Bucks likely on their way out, IMO it only makes things easier for the Celtics to win the EC and go the rest of the way to win it all
