And the Lakers lost again! lol the best recruiter in the looks like he's going to for a new talent coz their bigs are useless
Should've taken Cousins for that 10 day contract and tried him out. Now Nuggets will be have a stronger defender below the rim.
Lakers streak was broken and this tells they are not the caliber we are expecting, yet. It could've ended worse in a blowout game at 20 points upward of a lead from the Grizzlies but thanks to the 2nd team led by Austin Reeves it was cut down creating a 17-0 run. They thought it was over but he pumped the fans in Crypto.com Arena by giving them hope. I thought Frank Vogel is going to switch to his stars but thank God he didn't. Those guys deserves to stay in the game and finish it on their own.
I expected this to be an even matchup but seems like the Grizzlies are far better than them.
If you look at both the squads, the Lakers are stacked with top-tier star players but they lack a whole lot of chemistry.
But if you look at the Grizzlies, they play really well as a team and it shows on the court. As always LeBron had a great match - scores 35 points but he didn't get the support he needed from his teammates. This is very disappointing, they need to fix what's wrong asap.
I don't know how you can predict that it will be a even matchup when Grizzlies has been facing tougher opponents and winning while Lakers have a winning streak, it was against a low key team.
It was Lebron and Monk again but against a very good team, it will not be enough. It will take a lot of team chemistry and consistency which the Lakers lacks of.
