The lakers just need AD back and another piece like Bogi as a shooter then they could challenge the west

Another game where the Grizzlies lose because they suck at making free throws. 14 missed free throws in this game for the Grizzlies.

This season the Grizzlies have an 11 game winning streak in Janaury going into a Friday night game on ESPN.

Eerie.

The Nets lost KD this year almost the same exact time they lost him last year. Definitely has been a weird season

Full healthy Grizzlies lost Lakers. Grizzlies overrated and far. Much better TEAM without Morant.

Lakers with a comeback in the last 6 minutes during which LBJ contributed nothing.

Terrible finish by the Grizzlies

Thank you, Lakers.

It looked bleak. The Grizz had an absurd 24 offensive rebounds.

Yes. Scary team, maybe can win the West if no injuries.

The Ja Morant effect. I miss the Grit and Grind Grizzlies. Their leaders were more silent and just got Ws.

We were due. Though when i watched that absurd bounce Adams got on his ft i was just laughing. Basketball gods hate us.

Lakers got shafted by calls in 3 out of the last 4 losses. It's like season-wide equivalent of when your team has made a huge comeback but just can't take the lead.
