He's a multi-millionaire and one of the most exciting players in professional sports. Probably considered smart in his field.

Lakers should just play Westbrook the entire 4th quarter, at least he's going to get rebounds.

The Grizz currently has 20 offensive rebounds. 18 away from the record.

Making Clarke look like an all-star like only the lakers can do.

Mike Breen gotta do better when giving defense credit, giving Brooks all the credit when the grizzlies are running second and third defenders all day.

Brooks doing the heavy lifting all night. Making Lebron think and hold the ball for 10-15 seconds before whipping passes to other perimeter teammates for bad shots.

Mike Jackson at least says it :lol:

They're loading up on Lebron to force others to score. It'll work 9/10 against this roster. We got nobody that'll punish you for doubling.

LAL just might make this interesting. Memphis can't seem to pull away.

Westbrook the ONLY reason why Lakers are remotely close in this game. Easily.

Domantas Sabonis is the kind of player Dave Cowens was... in my imagination, because I'm too young to have seen Cowens, a Bruising Banger in the Celtic Mold.

Grizzlies basically throwing the kitchen sink at Lebron and daring everyone else to do something lol.

Thank you Rob...Thank you Jeanie.
