Danny Ainge really helped the Lakers with his stupid trade.

Ainge took them from lottery (and paying a swap to pels) to contender status for a top 5 protected future pick. If it was unprotected I could live with it, the top 5 protection makes it worthless

That pick will a mid first at best. When LeBron retires they'll sign.a really good free agent. The Lakers should never be terrible given they're a top free agent destination.

Everyone starting helping them. It's almost as if the league wants to prop up LeBron or something....

That kid at Lakers shows all that’s wrong with the NBA. Has 30 sec to get 10 points and show boats with arrogance for 27 sec before missing the 10 point shot from the 3 point line.

Let’s not just humbly show off good skills, instead let’s act like a tosser before missing a shot then show bravado afterward.

#7 seed Lakers may closeout on #2 seed Grizzlies.
Up 17, at the Half.

The grizzlies are the worst 2 seed of all time.

Lakers advancing to the 2nd round. Gross.

Ja Morant is horrendous. Dude is everything people hate about Jaylen but x10 and minus the good. Awful, awful player. Bane is the same. Selfish, small, tunnel vision, chucker..as **** as it is to see the Lakers win, seeing these losers get humbled is nice.

I know the players aren't playing well but that Grizzlies coach looks like he has no idea what he is doing.

Adams is a MASSIVE loss against the Lakers. As ordinary as Memphis looks right now if they had Adams (and Clarke) this would be a very different series.

I would much much prefer to see the empty stats king humbled.

I wish the NBA wasn’t so shameless when rigging games. We do NOT want to face the Lakers folks

I don't get the fear of the Lakers.

The Celtics need to avenge that 2010 Game 7 loss.

The Lakers are awful... The only reason they beat the Grizzlies is cause of Memphis' HORRIBLE shooting. Nobody guarded them, they just couldn't make any shots.

Agree with you.

Saw parts of the game and I can safely say the Griz are not playoff ready.

I don't fear the Lakers, I fear the league bending over backwards to ensure they win like they've done over and over in the NBA's history. They depend on Lebron and the tired GOAT debate for engagment on social media. You think they'd allow Lebron to lose if they have any say in the matter? I find that hard to believe.
