We demolish Kyrie for his wackiness but tonight he played like a number one option. Kudos to him

It will be absolutely criminal if Isaiah Joe isn't in the shootout.

You can't tell me that the Grizzlies aren't the most unlikeable group of guys in the NBA. They quickly surpassed the Suns and Lakers with all the barking they do. People complained about the Suns but they've got nothing compared to the Grizz.

Yup, Lebron will start making those shots at the rim.

Gotta agree with you on that one. They became so annoying overnight and haven't done anything yet. This will work in their favor, most of the teams that talk too much like that never wins it.

Why isn’t Russ back in? He’s the one who got them back in this game. Ham has weird rotations. He just doesn’t play Russ with Lebron or what

Nunn may be the dumbest player on the Lakers roster and that's saying A LOT.

Lol at Westbrook cracking it at another player for a bonehead low IQ move.

Keegan Murray is very quietly having an all-time rookie season from deep. The rebounding is starting to wake up too. The current setup is working, but it be nice to see them expand his role down the stretch.

He was fixing to get broken down off the dribble. Foul made sense for him.

Schroder's commitment to a truly terrible hairstyle is impressive

what a gritty game man. Loving that we're in it. Shows we got character.
