It says It's 8pm today, not sure what time that is here in Syd ... Normally most games are like 10:30pm which is like 1:30pm here ...
I hate different time zones LOL

I'm moving house today, so I'll be in and out watching game, depending when it comes on for me

Lucky I have the day off and drinking while doing it haha.

At least it looks like we’re finally at AD at the 5 and Lebron at the 4 to start games. LFG.

Not even half the move is done yet. Time to hit a couple drinks to make the time go faster LOL

I don’t think this team has successfully executed that long outlet pass since the bubble. But there gonna keep trying 3-4 times a game you can count on that.

It’s become such a predictable play. No idea why they keep trying that play given how unsuccessful it has been.

AD getting sonned by a different big every night. What the **** is up with him this season?

How do you turn the ball over back-to-back out of the timeout? Lakers looking like the joke they are in this second quarter.

I don't think I've ever seen a team commit such dumb turnovers, and with such ease, as these Lakers do.

Rebounding is straight garbage too.

Pretty terrible quarter from LeBron, Westbrook and AD... Memphis D is thoroughly smothering.

Lakers out-shooting Memphis 54% to 45%, yet find themselves trailing by six at the half thanks to 14 first half turnovers. That's pathetic.

What's funny is they don't even have AD playing D on Steven Adams... They're putting THT on him for most of the possessions... So it's not like AD can use fatigue as an excuse...

That said, LeBron has been a turnover machine tonight... Westbrook has been giving it away a lot too... That's probably more of an issue than ADs weak play.

Five TO's for LeBron, three TO's apiece for Russ and Melo, Grizzlies with just five TO's :lol:

Been saying that since the last game. People were all giddy and excited that this team turned the whole season around with 1 quarter of defense... :lol:

Some think we can simply flip a switch come playoff time. I just don’t see it. Many thought the same last season. How did that turn out? We barely beat the Warriors in the play-in and got bounced in the first round.

I still think had that team been healty we would have gone to the finals

Westbrook air balling one legged fadeaways but at least he ran the ball out of bounds on the following possession

Haven't been watching it all, but this a low scoring game or what?

Stats on anyone don't look good today
