I just hope Lakers hang close with Memphis and how desperate they are going to come out. If Ja is out tho, it plays different but just hang on close and then repeat that close out in the fourth

Crazy how Bazemore, Bradley, Ariza, Carmelo, Dwight, Ellington, Rondo, Isiah Thomas, DJ Augustine were not picked up by a team this year.

and darren collison

Most of those guys were supposed to be important rotation players too 😂

The Collison era

GAME DAY

f***ing fraud joined the team 3 years too late

curious to see how they guard JJJ when AD is out the game or maybe ham changes the lineup, maybe taking out beasley and adding vando for more length and rebounding

Don’t do anything different tbh

You're bugging lol. We got outscored drastically without AD especially at the rim, either the defensive scheme or lineup should change as long as that lineup doesn't include Wenyen.

Don’t over think things we don’t need to overreact to a good game. Just continue playing good straight up defense.

I don’t think the lineup will be changing much.

I wouldn’t overreact. Same gameplan as game 1 even if Ja is out. Vando should guard the lead ball handler regardless if it’s Ja or Tyus

AD’d minutes should match JJJ’s

It's not about overreacting. Just because we won doesn't mean there's not areas for improvement.

Ham has already tinkered with the rotation and it's helped, don't see why he shouldn't again if it will help even more or as I said, just change the defensive scheme.

I just don’t see how much the lineup change. It seems like we’re locked into a tight 9 man rotation.

JJJ averages like 28 mpg since he's foul prone, so can't really match AD's minutes with his. Also not saying Vando shouldn't guard Ja or Tyus.

I'm saying swapping out Beasley for Vando adds more rebounding and size to the overall lineup so if they were to double JJJ, we have a better chance on the glass.

And just a week or so ago Wenyen was locked into being the backup Center. All I'm saying is, I expect an adjustment otherwise that's just poor coaching on Ham's part.

I just meant that if JJJ is out there AD should be too. Doesn’t mean AD can’t play additional minutes if JJJ is out with foul trouble or whatever the case may be

Ja is out for game 2

Coach Smart,Play Smart,Stay Healthy and most importantly get the Win!

ngl tyus can be a lil bit of a problem but not against our defense rn

yea Tyus is really good. He could honestly start on alot of teams.

Grizzlies in general are a good team even without Ja.
