Is AD hurt now??

Doesn't look serious thankfully but it's a shoulder. That could still affect him going forward

He said he couldn’t move his arm. That seems serious.

Could he be exaggerating the injury like he (and Lebron) have in the past? Some on Twitter think it's a stinger. IIRC, Tatum dealt with a shoulder stinger last season's playoffs too

I don’t know. I just certainly wouldn’t say it doesn’t look serious. This was not one of this scenarios where Lebron or AD rolls around on the ground and then don’t even go to the locker room.

I don’t want anyone hurt. But like Rob, injury to AD is part of the picture. TBH, if either of those 2 survive the playoffs without missing time it will be pretty lucky and unexpected.

If AD is seriously hurt, I think Grizzlies now will win the series. I thought AD would be the X-Factor against a thin Memphis team, but if he's hurt and missing games, Grizz have the advantage. This isn't the 2010s Lebron either anymore

We'll see what the official word is on AD though

If no AD, I would start Bamba at center and move Vanderbilt to the bench in favour of Hachimura.

JJ had 19 points in the first half primarily guarded by Davis and the grizz were winning.

Looks like Moranis’s Lakers might take this one..

This lakers team is better than I thought. Pelinka actually did a good job at re-shaping the roster.

Nice pass by JJJ to Aldama. That is the next stage in his offensive progression -- passing out of the post and creating opportunities for teammates.

Rui does not normally shoot like this. If the lakers can hit threes like
This they will be tough to beat

You saying this to annoy?   It’s a 6 point game with a quarter to go, Griz might take this too.

Watch for grizz to Have a burst here. Lebron gets tired in these spots and Rui won’t keep nailing every three. Anyones game. Memphis has fresher legs.

Though good start to the 4th so far!
