The Los Angeles Lakers are tied 1-1 with the Memphis Grizzlies after the young and gritty squad bounced back from their loss in Game 1 with a Ja Morant-less victory in Game 2.

Back on Feb. 9, Cole Swider started a game for the South Bay Lakers as he’s done so many times this season. It was an early morning weekday game, not uncommon for the G League. What he probably didn’t expect, however, was getting rushed onto a plane and flying halfway across the country to Milwaukee […]

Elon Musk‘s new Twitter Blue update went into effect on Thursday, removing the verified blue check marks for pretty much everybody who had one without paying for it. Of course, Musk made sure there were some exceptions, with one of those exceptions being Los Angeles Lakers star forward LeBron James. One person who wasn’t happy […]

The actual test starts now for Darvin Ham. The Los Angeles Lakers and Memphis Grizzlies get two days and change to make adjustments as their first-round series moves to Crypto.com Arena tied at 1-1.

There has been a lot of buzz surrounding Twitter’s blue checkmarks and how Elon Musk is now going to make a lot of money out of charging its users for this verified service. Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James is not buying in on the hype, though — literally speaking. Being the frugal billionaire that […]

Memphis Grizzlies forward Dillon Brooks made a serious mistake calling out Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James after Game 2 on Wednesday, according to NBA analyst Kendrick Perkins. For context, Brooks claimed The King is “too old” and he won’t respect anybody until they drop 40. Yes, he said this about the all-time leading scorer […]

The Memphis Grizzlies got revenge in Game 2, taking down the Los Angeles Lakers to even up the series at one, despite being without Ja Morant. All night long, one of the biggest storylines was Dillon Brooks’ antics, constantly trying to get in LeBron James’ head. Then after the contest, the Grizzlies forward proceeded to […]

The Los Angeles Lakers are now tied 1-1 with the Memphis Grizzlies after falling 93-103 to Memphis in Game 2 of their First Round series. With the Memphis Grizzlies entering the 2023 NBA Playoffs as the second seed, ordinarily their victories wouldn’t be seen as upsets. However, with Grizzlies star guard Ja Morant dealing with […]

For years, NBA’s biggest heels have gravitated towards LeBron James like moths to a flame and, this year, the Memphis Grizzlies are no different. Having antagonized the Timberwolves and setting up a REIT in the Warriors’ head last year, the Grizzlies have hardly ingratiated themselves with Lebron James or the Lakers through the first two […]

After stealing away Game 1 down in Memphis, the Los Angeles Lakers plummeted back down to earth in Game 2 with a 103-93 loss to the second-seeded Grizzlies.

LeBron James wasn’t dissatisfied with the Los Angeles Lakers’ performance in Game 2 vs. the Memphis Grizzlies. “We understand what a series is all about. It’s not the first to one win or two.

LeBron James has always had a huge target on his back; that, simply, is the way of life for one of the best basketball players of his generation. After all, outplaying the King is close to impossible, so winning the mental warfare seems like the best way to throw him off. And that’s exactly what […]

LeBron James hasn’t been a Laker for long, but he just did something only Los Angeles Lakers legend Shaquille O’Neal has ever done in his team’s Game 2 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies. The NBA’s recently-crowned all-time leading scorer tied ‘The Diesel’ with 88 playoff games of 25 points and 10 rebounds or more, according […]

LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers lost Game 2 of their playoff series against the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday, and it’s easy to know why. While there were plenty of contributing factors to LA’s 103-93 loss, perhaps their shooting woes in contested shots was the biggest culprit. Apparently, the team shot just 24 percent […]

The Memphis Grizzlies nabbed a much needed win against the LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 2 of their first round playoff series. Even without Ja Morant, they still could not afford to fall into an 0-2 hole. They got an assist in the form of Dillon Brooks’ antics and a huge […]

The Memphis Grizzlies pulled off a must-win in Game 2 of their first-round playoff series against the Los Angeles Lakers thanks to some clutch shooting from Dillon Brooks on Wednesday.

Things are heating up in Game 2 between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Memphis Grizzlies.

Unlike the Memphis Grizzlies, who are in danger of missing the services of superstar point guard Ja Morant for Game 2 of their NBA playoffs series, the Los Angeles Lakers actually have a clean bill of health ahead of Wednesday’s contest. Nevertheless, this has not prevented the Lakers from having their usual suspects on the […]

It seems like Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James has had multiple peaks in his decorated NBA career. While his most notable stints were arguably his rise with and return to the Cleveland Cavaliers, LeBron’s days with the Miami Heat are the stuff of legend. Perhaps nobody knows that like Paul George. Currently starring alongside […]

The Miami Heat were the biggest of underdogs on Sunday night in Game 1 against the Milwaukee Bucks. An injury to Giannis Antetokounmpo and some gritty team play led the way toward a 130-117 win, but it was Jimmy Butler who ultimately ran the show. Butler looked to be in playoff form right off the […]

LeBron James is back at it again. The Los Angeles Lakers superstar forward gave props to teammate Austin Reaves after their upset 128-112 win on the road over the Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday to take a 1-0 lead in this first-round series in the 2023 NBA Playoffs. But James did not just give Reaves flowers, […]

Butler became the fourth player in NBA history to have 35 […]

NBA legend Magic Johnson doesn’t see anyone beating LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers in the West if they keep playing the way they did in Game 1 against the Memphis Grizzlies. The Lakers erased the Grizzlies’ homecourt advantage in the opener as they took down Memphis 128-112. While some would argue that the […]

LeBron James had a strong game, but he wasn’t even the main storyline in the Los Angeles Lakers’ Game 1 win against the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday. It’s both a testament to his greatness and that he doesn’t have to do as much with a strong supporting cast. He finished with a stat line of […]

LeBron James didn’t hold back in his praise of Austin Reaves following the Los Angeles Lakers’ Game 1 win over the Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday.

Once upon a time in Hollywood, the Los Angeles Lakers needed elite showings from Anthony Davis and LeBron James to beat quality ballclubs. On Sunday at the FedExForum, the Lakers’ 128-112 Game 1 win over the Memphis Grizzlies encapsulated their evolution since the trade deadline. Davis was, in fact, ferocious on both ends. He overcame […]

The Los Angeles Lakers have won 24 consecutive best-of-seven playoff series after winning Game 1, a stat that doesn’t bode particularly well for the Memphis Grizzlies after their Austin Reaves-inflicted Sunday defeat.

LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers participated in his 266th career playoff game against the Memphis Grizzlies in Game 1 of the 2023 NBA Playoffs, which is the most in NBA History.
