What are the odds of getting a win in L.A. against the purple and gold?

Brooks poor decision making giving LA some life.

Memphis need to cleanup these unforced TO's.

Refs now giving LA a leg up.

That was a very clear & 1 for Anderson, no call.

I forgot that the Lakers have played in the last three OT games and in spite of them winning all three against sub-.500 teams, they're playing a Grizzlies team who continues to be a cagey fighting bunch. As long as the refs stay out of this match, I'm thinking the Grizzlies have a shot to sneak up on the Lakers and dominate in the paint. Look for Ja to crank it up in the second half.

If it wasn't for the officiating, Memphis would be going into the half up at least 18 instead of 13.

14 FT's to 6 + several bad non calls on what should have been & 1 plays for Memphis.

When Memphis went up big, who didn't see that lop sided whistle coming?.

As a player how do you gloat with the refs wiping your c#nt hole.

They've stolen Memphis momentum, hopefully the young team shows some fight.

Difficult game to watch. We blow a big lead and then they start getting home cooking calls. Don't even bother to call an obvious basket interference.

How can you challenge a bad foul call when just about every call has been awful? Such a joke.

Say what you want about Grayson Allen - he is the only one keeping this remotely close.

Basketball is a game of confidence

The Memphis 20 pt lead was eradicated by LA being 20+ on the line while Memphis got no calls. They stopped fighting, unfortunately.

These late calls with LA up & with momentum, is to make the FT disparity more respectable.

Vogel challenging, their players gloating ilol won't be half as bad as hearing it was their defense that let them get back into it.

It was the refs that took the wind out of Memphis sails.

You would think they would make reforms after what came out about game fixing by Tim Donaghy. Free throw disparity was a top sign. I didn't see the whole game, but there were some egregious calls in the 2nd half.

Edit: not saying there is a fix, but you can't have that kind of free throw disparity.

Started 2nd Q, only reason Memphis didn't carry their 20pt lead into the half.

One play Davis bricked a 3 & lebron threw himself to the floor & got to the line for 2 with Memphis being in the penalty. Refs weren't going to let Memphis get this one.

Brooks continues to kill Memphis offensively. At times in this game he was the Lakers best player.

On our side, I like how Allen played. I like what I have seen from Kyle this year. I like Dieng but his bonehead fouls hurt us tonight. Ja didn't bring enough. We need another star player. Trade Brooks.

Can't argue with any of that.

I'm going to sleep this one off.
